MediaTek has incorporated an AI processing unit (APU) alongside the traditional CPU and GPU in its SoC designs for the next wave of smart client devices (smartphones, cameras, appliances, cars, etc.). Edge applications can harness the CPU, GPU and APU together to achieve significantly higher performance with excellent efficiency. In this talk, we’ll present MediaTek’s AI-enabled SoCs for smart client devices. We’ll examine the features of the AI accelerator, which is the core building block of the APU. We will also describe the accompanying toolkit, called NeuroPilot, which enables app developers to conveniently implement inference models using industry-standard frameworks.
