Simplifies SoC design for machine learning

About Quadric

Quadric focuses on simplifying the design and programming of System on Chips (SoCs) specifically for machine learning applications. Their main product is the Chimera, a General-Purpose Neural Processing Unit (GPNPU) that combines matrix and vector operations with scalar control code in a single execution pipeline. This design allows developers to avoid splitting application code across different processors, making the development process more efficient. Quadric serves clients in the semiconductor industry, including SoC developers and manufacturers, who need to improve their machine learning capabilities. Unlike competitors, Quadric offers a comprehensive solution that includes both hardware and software tools, such as the Chimera LLVM C Compiler and the Chimera Instruction Set Simulator, enabling developers to design, simulate, and deploy their applications effectively. The goal of Quadric is to enhance the performance and ease of development for machine learning applications on SoCs.
