OUR LATEST AI INNOVATIONS

BURST PROCESSORS

E-Series new Burst Processors technology works with Imagination’s graphics and AI pipelines to lower average GPU power consumption by 35% compared to D-Series. The technology reduces data movement within the GPU, which in turn lowers power consumption and boosts GPU utilisation, as it frees up memory to keep the compute units fed.

NEURAL CORES

E-Series introduces lots of dense, deeply integrated acceleration for power-efficient AI operations – up to 4x more than Imagination D-Series GPU IP. This transforms the classic Imagination GPU Core into a highly capable Neural Core that scales in performance up to 200 TOPS (INT8/FP8) and transforms the face of edge intelligence.

OpenCL COMPUTE LIBRARIES

Imagination’s latest GPUs ship with a set of OpenCL compute libraries (imgBLAS, imgNN, imgFFT) that help software developers achieve up to 80% GPU utilisation for common compute workloads. They work alongside reference toolkits that help developers port their code to Imagination hardware via oneAPI or TVM TensorGraph.

WHY IMAGINATION FOR AI?

FUTURE-PROOF PROGRAMMABILITY

A GPU is a programmable processor with an extensive software ecosystem. As AI algorithms continue their rapid evolution, GPUs give systems the ability to run next-generation models.

Imagination’s software stack provides developers with an easy-to-use AI solution for porting code to Imagination-based hardware and optimising performance. Highly optimised OpenCL compute libraries and compilers enhance GPU efficiency, and advanced tooling gives developers clear insights into application performance.

FLEXIBLE GRAPHICS & COMPUTE PROCESSING

As the most advanced parallel processing architecture for power-constrained devices, Imagination GPUs can be deployed to accelerate either graphics or AI tasks – or both at the same time! Technologies that help make Imagination GPUs a valuable silicon investment include:

  • Asynchronous compute
  • Hardware-based virtualisation with QoS & prioritisation
  • Primary-Primary multi-core functionality
  • Download our virtualisation white paper

    EFFICIENT BY DESIGN

    The PowerVR architecture is the foundation of all Imagination GPUs and is the gold standard of power-efficient graphics and compute processing for edge devices, from wearables to laptops.

    Its tile-based approach to computing keeps as much data local to the GPU as possible and is just as applicable to compute workloads as to graphics.
