SAFE COMPUTE SOLUTIONS FOR AUTOMOTIVE
COMPUTE ACCELERATION FOR INTELLIGENT CARS
Addressing Automotive Challenges with Kalray Manycore Architecture Based on our MPPA® DPU Technology
Performance, function aggregation and safety are essential for upcoming intelligent vehicles: Both markets and regulations require more computing intensive features in cars, each new car model embedding much more processing power than the previous generation. Being able to combine different types of applications within one Electronic Control Unit (ECU), while ensuring that each of these applications are isolated from each other, is key.
New generation vehicles are not just processing AI applications. Many types of applications are required to be processed from machine learning, computer vision to path planning – car perception and path planning being the two main functions of ADAS and AD, that are particularly performance-hungry.
The Kalray MPPA® DPU manycore processor is based on a unique, innovative and patented processor architecture, allowing car makers to address the challenges of new intelligent vehicles.
The MPPA® DPU processor comes with a full software development environment (AccessCore® ) using open standards and common tools (C/C++, OpenCL, Linux, POSIX, optimized libraries…), allowing users to easily develop their own specific applications.
MPPA® DPU Key Benefits for Automotive
High Performance
Unique performance to address highly demanding AI-based and non AI-based algorithms such as vision, path planning and decision functions.
Function Aggregation
Easy consolidation of many heterogenous functions on one single accelerator, thanks to its manycore and multi OS architecture.
Safety
Ease the development of safe and ready-to-certify solutions, thanks to MPPA®’s DPU deterministic architecture and its ability to isolate execution domains and guarantee freedom from interference.
