Linaro CEO George Grey presents HiKey 970
HiKey 970 is a platform suitable for artificial intelligence application development. It integrates Huawei's innovative HiAI framework and other major neural network frameworks. In addition to support for CPU and GPU AI operations, it also supports NPU-based neural network computing hardware acceleration. Allows developers to develop deep learning algorithms, smart robots, and smart city areas, enabling smart life from imagination to reality.
The world's leading artificial intelligence development platform promotes the ecological construction of AI applications
With the continuous development of AI technology, the industry's discussion on AI application areas has never stopped. How AI will change the future society and bring about breakthrough innovation experience has become the focus of industry attention. As a leader in AI, In 2017, Huawei released the industry's first artificial smart phone chip, the Unicorn 970, which brought AI eye-catching photos to mobile phone users. The brand-new smart experience of AI's accompanying translators created a pioneering industry for AI mobile phones.
After the mobile AI calculates the breakthrough performance bottleneck, the massive demand for new AI application experience comes along. To unite more developers and bring more powerful AI application experience to the end user, Huawei introduces the world's leading artificial intelligence. Development platform HiKey 970, based on the AI wisdom of Unicorn 970, HiKey 970 supports HiAI mobile computing architecture, built-in NPU dedicated hardware processing unit, AI performance has been fully improved, compared with CPU processing AI operation, has about 50 times energy efficiency and 25 Multiple performance advantages, become an open source development board with powerful AI computing, hardware acceleration, and strong performance, will help developers develop more imaginative and new experience applications.
HiKey 970
HiKey 970 is a third-generation development board launched by Huawei. Compared with the previous two generations of development boards, HiKey 970 has absorbed a large number of developers' opinions on software and hardware design, has more computing power, and more abundant hardware interfaces. Mainstream operating system and artificial intelligence stack (AI stack). HiKey 970 integrates Huawei's HiAI framework and other major neural network frameworks. In addition to support for CPU and GPU AI calculations, it also supports NPU-based neural network computing hardware acceleration. It is very suitable for the development and use of end-side AI.
Enable end-side AI application developers to create AI application value
Behind the AI ecological structure, it is inseparable from the co-innovation of the entire industry. It is also inseparable from the efforts of billions of developers and the experience and feedback of hundreds of millions of users. For developers, the development costs of AI applications, promotion downloads and knowledge Issues such as property rights are particularly important. Taking into account these practical needs, HiKey 970 provides comprehensive multi-application models and machine learning framework support, providing developers with more complete documentation, richer and more efficient APIs, and faster access to source code. Developers can more directly feel the great potential of AI on the side, and create the application value of AI.
With the joint efforts of HiKey 970 and developers, end users and other industries, AI applications will show strong strength in the near future and bring more intelligent experience to end users. As a core member of the open source organization Linaro 96Boards, The HiKey series development board is constantly dedicated to improving the hardware performance of the development board, providing developers with more convenient and powerful development tools.
Zhou Chen, Huawei's wireless terminal chip product marketing director, said, 'We hope to bring developers a very easy-to-use artificial intelligence development platform. Thanks to our partners: Linaro, ARM, Runhe Software, Lemax, Thanks for all The development engineers and marketers, we worked together to achieve this very challenging task.
The HiKey 970 development board will be open to developers for sale in mid-April to help developers create imaginary AI applications.
