Micron and Continental Accelerate Machine Learning at the Edge
February 25 2020 - 8:00AM
Micron Technology, Inc. (Nasdaq: MU), a leading memory and storage
solutions provider, together with technology company Continental,
today announced plans to enter into a collaboration agreement to
explore and adapt Micron’s deep learning accelerator for
next-generation machine learning automotive applications. This
agreement brings together two world leaders in the automotive and
memory markets to advance machine learning to meet the extreme
memory requirements of modern vehicles.
Automobile infotainment, communications, advanced
driver-assistance systems (ADAS) and powertrain control systems are
becoming increasingly sophisticated. Continental and Micron will
work together to develop an application-specific version of
Micron’s deep learning accelerator (DLA) technology designed to be
flexible and scalable while delivering the low power and high
performance needed to support industry-standard programming
models.
“Micron’s market leadership is driven by a long track record of
product innovation and close collaboration with customers,” said
Dirk Remde, vice president of Innovation Center Silicon Valley at
Continental. “Working together with Micron to build a scalable and
flexible solution for edge inference that supports multiple
networks and frameworks, will enable us to efficiently deploy
machine learning across our platforms and deliver intelligent
mobility technologies for our customers.”
Continental is known for its long history of bringing innovative
technologies to the automotive market. The company envisions
deploying deep learning solutions in areas such as ADAS advanced
development, in-cabin monitoring and other connected and autonomous
mobility solutions.
“Machine learning is a critical component to ADAS, making it
imperative to understand the requirements and use cases for this
market,” said Steve Pawlowski, corporate vice president of Advanced
Computing Solutions at Micron. “One of our key goals in
collaborating with Continental is to create an agile edge-inference
solution that uses machine learning and delivers the ease of use,
scalability, low power and high performance the automotive sector
requires.”
Building on its memory and storage leadership, Micron integrates
compute, memory, tools and software into a comprehensive artificial
intelligence (AI) development platform with its DLA technology.
Micron and Continental will leverage this platform to explore
innovative memory optimized for AI workloads, including deep
learning solutions for data analytics, particularly targeted toward
the internet of things (IoT) and edge computing.
