Hailo Hailo-8 M.2 AI Acceleration Modules
Hailo Hailo-8 M.2 AI Acceleration Modules can be plugged into an existing edge device with an M.2 socket to execute deep neural network inference in real time, consuming low power and serving a broad range of market segments. The devices connect to various types of host processors via PCIe. The Hailo-8 M.2 artificial intelligence (AI) acceleration modules feature the Hailo-8 AI processor. The processor delivers up to 26 tera-operations per second (TOPS), significantly outperforming similar edge AI processors.
Hailo-8's unique, powerful, and scalable, structure-driven dataflow architecture leverages the core properties of neural networks. The architecture enables edge devices to run deep learning applications at full scale more efficiently, effectively, and substantially than traditional solutions, while significantly lowering costs.
