RaiderChip

What RaiderChip does

RaiderChip specializes in designing Neural Processing Units (NPUs), a revolutionary type of processor tailored to accelerating Artificial Intelligence. These NPUs perform AI tasks faster and more efficiently with lower energy consumption than traditional processors like CPUs or GPUs. RaiderChip's hardware acceleration designs are specifically tailored to Generative Artificial Intelligence, the most advanced form of this technology. They offer various NPU solutions including small versions for edge devices, high-throughput versions for cloud AI, and custom NPU designs.

Products

• KairósEdge AI ASIC device, a high-throughput version of the RaiderChip NPU. Demonstrates voice, text, and vision models running locally in real time.
• GenAI IPThe smallest version of RaiderChip's NPU, tailored to small devices such as FPGAs and Adaptive SoCs, where frequency and memory bandwidth are limited.
• AiónCloud AI ASIC device, a high-throughput version of the RaiderChip NPU for cloud inference at silicon speed. Offers full Generative AI inference pipeline directly in hardware with no external host required.
• Custom NPUA fully modular, flexible, and scalable AI acceleration architecture that can be configured to match specific needs. Allows for architectural exploration based on RaiderChip's building blocks.
