Industry background and original intention of DLAP product development

1. Trends in the Edge AI Industry

Traditional mode: devices collect data and send it back to the cloud for analysis;

Industry transformation trend: * * Edge local reasoning, feature matching * *, advantages:

-Low latency: No need to transmit massive data, real-time response;

-High data security: reduce the amount of data transmitted over the network and lower the risk of leakage and tampering;

-Weak network adaptation: Mobile devices can run AI algorithms even without stable networks, adapting to in car and outdoor mobile devices.

2. Inherent pain points of heterogeneous CPU+GPU solutions

The performance of pure CPU or pure GPU single-chip solutions is insufficient, 

but there are three major design challenges in heterogeneous combinations:

1. Higher power consumption; 

2. The device has a larger volume; 

3. Consumer grade GPUs have a short lifecycle and cannot meet the long supply cycle demands of industry.

3. Core Value of DLAP Platform

The Linghua DLAP series addresses the aforementioned pain points with a focus on balancing SWaP 

(size, weight, power consumption) and AI computing power

-Industrial grade durable design, wide temperature range, anti vibration, wide humidity adaptability to harsh working conditions;

-Choose GPU chips with a long lifecycle to extend the equipment supply cycle;

-Reduce system integrator/OEM/ODM development costs and shorten product launch cycles;

-Provide customized hardware development services and quickly customize edge AI machines based on Nvidia embedded GPU/Jetson modules.
