The automotive collaboration addresses the
transformative era of the software-defined vehicle
Untether AI, the leader in energy-centric AI inference
acceleration, today announced a collaboration with Arm to develop
best-in-class solutions optimized for next-generation automotive
applications. As part of this collaboration, Untether AI will
enable its inference acceleration technology to be implemented
alongside the latest-generation Automotive Enhanced (AE) technology
from Arm, to create solutions that address performance, power,
safety, and security requirements for advanced Driver Assistance
Systems (ADAS) and autonomous vehicle (AV) applications.
Compute workloads radically changed in the past several years
with the deployment of AI and the increasing complexity of AI and
conventional software algorithms has elevated the demand for
heterogeneous computing platforms employing domain-specific
architectures. This trend, which is especially true in the
automotive sector, results in an ideal computing platform that
combines a mix of CPUs, AI accelerators, memory, and networking
technologies that have been optimized for neural network
acceleration and software-defined vehicles (SDV).
“The increase in advanced user experiences, ADAS, and AV
applications means more heterogeneous compute is needed in the
vehicle,” said Suraj Gajendra, vice president of products and
solutions, Automotive Line of Business, Arm. “By collaborating with
Untether AI to ensure our leading-edge AE technology can work well
alongside Untether AI’s acceleration capability, we are enabling
our partners to power cutting edge AI workloads across the
vehicle.”
Untether AI’s innovative at-memory architecture for neural
network inference delivers the high performance and energy
efficiency needed to support next generation SDV technology. High
AI compute performance with low latency in a small form factor and
low-power envelope have become the cornerstone requirements for
leading ADAS platforms at L2+ levels and above. This need for high
levels of AI compute performance in a small footprint has been
further accelerated by the general trend toward an underlying
centralized architecture as the automotive industry embraces
software-defined vehicles (SDV).
Through close collaboration with leading OEMs, automotive
suppliers, and membership in the SOAFEE consortium, Untether AI has
developed an in-depth understanding of the unique requirements
associated with emerging SDV architectures. SOAFEE, an
industry-wide consortium, is focused on developing a common SDV
platform enabling lower cost, and faster time-to-market
deployment.
“Designed expressly for the automotive market, Untether AI’s
chiplet-based solution delivers unsurpassed energy efficiency
without compromising performance and meeting stringent safety
requirements,” said Robert Beachler, vice president of product,
Untether AI. “This capability, combined with Arm’s AE IP portfolio
enables the flexibility, scale and choice OEMs need to create
differentiating next generation intelligent automotive
applications.”
