Vice President of Worldwide Sales - quadric.io, Inc

Quadric is the inventor of a future-proof AI/ML embedded processor solution - called the Chimera GPNPU (General Purpose Neural Processing Unit). Licensed as IP, the Chimera GPNPU is a programmable processor that is targeted to run neural network (NN) inference workloads in a wide variety of edge and endpoint devices, ranging from battery operated smart-sensor systems to high-performance automotive or autonomous vehicle systems. Unlike other NPUs or neural network accelerators in the industry today that can only accelerate a portion of a machine learning graph, the Quadric GPNPU executes both NN graph code and conventional C++ DSP and control code.
