Bandwidth Optimization Technology
VeriSilicon today announced that industry leader Broadcom Inc. has
selected its Vivante VIP8000/VIPNano family of Artificial Intelligence
(AI) Processor IP for use in their next generation Set-top Box
system-on-chip (SoC). With full scalability from extremely low power sub
TOPS to high performance exceeding 100 TOPS, Vivante VIP8000/VIPNano IP
has been powering next-generation intelligent devices across multiple
market segments such as smart home, surveillance camera, automotive ADAS
applications and Edge Server. Vivante VIP processor’s OCL/OVX
programmable architecture enable fast adoption of new neural networks.
This announcement coincides with CES 2019, where new devices on display
throughout the show will feature VeriSilicon’s market-leading
technology, including Broadcom’s introduction of intelligent set-top box
(STB) solutions incorporating Vivante VIP8000/VIPNano AI IP.
“We believe that incorporating AI capabilities enables our set-top box
solutions to support the advanced services that consumers expect when
interacting with their entertainment devices,” said Rich Nelson, Senior
Vice President and General Manager, Set-Top Box and Cable Modem Division
at Broadcom. “We expect the rapidly developing usages of AI to continue
to position our solutions at the center of the consumer’s entertainment
experience. Today’s announcement demonstrates our commitment to
customers to evolve our solutions while continuing to support the
delivery of high-quality content.”
“We are extremely delighted that Broadcom chose VeriSilicon’s Vivante
VIP8000/VIPNano family of Artificial Intelligence Processor IP for their
set-top box product family. We’ve already deployed both Android and
Linux-based AI supporting Google’s TensorFlow and TensorFlow-Lite in
addition to the common neural network frameworks,” said Weijin Dai,
Executive Vice President and GM of Intellectual Property Division at
VeriSilicon. “We see great momentum in applying AI to a wide range of
devices in multiple market segments. With our production-proven AI IP
products and widely deployed SDK ECO system, we are helping our
customers rapidly bring AI-enabled devices to the market. Close
collaboration with industry leaders like Broadcom will further drive our AI
Vision, AI Voice and AI Pixel technology to new
heights and to expand our ECO system.”
“VeriSilicon has been investing heavily in AI technology development and
working closely with industry leaders to integrate AI capabilities in
end products to deliver the AI benefits. We are excited to work with
Broadcom in smart home and set-top-box products,” said Dr. Wayne Dai,
President and CEO at VeriSilicon.
