Samsung develops new On-Device NPU tech for faster, smarter AI

Last updated: July 2nd, 2019 at 16:27 UTC+01:00

As Samsung is pushing further with the development of its proprietary NPUs (Neural Processing Unit), the visitor has created a new high-speed, depression-power On-Device AI deep learning algorithm promising 4 times more energy efficiency and 8 times more functioning than existing solutions. The Samsung Advanced Plant of Technology (SAIT) detailed the new On-Device AI engineering in a recent paper claiming that the algorithm has been successfully tested. Information technology should pave the way for a hereafter in which "all devices and sensor-based technologies are powered by AI."

This increase in performance and free energy efficiency has been accomplished "past adjusting the data into groups of under four bits while maintaining accurate data recognition," or what the company calls Quantization Interval Learning (QIL). Computations performed using the QIL process can accomplish results similar to existing solutions while requiring one/40 to 1/120 fewer transistors.

This method of compressing data into bit groups of 4 bits or lower allows for thousands of deep learning computations to be candy at the aforementioned time. Information technology also allows for "and" and "or" computations to exist performed in addition to arithmetic calculations such as multiplication.

Smartphones will become smarter and independent of the cloud with improve On-Device NPUs

While Samsung hasn't revealed exactly when this new solution will reach the market in consumer-course devices, the company strongly hinted at its inclusion in smartphones at some point in the future. The new deep learning algorithm requires less energy and hardware, significant that it can be adopted by On-Device NPUs "at the place where the data for an image or fingerprint sensor is being obtained."

The Exynos 9820 chipset is the company's first to feature an integrated proprietary NPU and it already expanded the capabilities of the Galaxy S10 series with enhanced photography and more advanced Augmented Reality features.

With a faster, less demanding On-Device solution at present beingness in the works, we can only wait that features such as photography and AR volition get smarter, faster, and more authentic with the new generation of devices.

But Samsung won't stop at mobile chipsets. The visitor likewise revealed that information technology wants to apply this new deep learning algorithm to retentivity and sensor solutions in the near future. "We will live in a earth where all devices and sensor-based technologies are powered by AI" according to the VP of Computer Vision Lab of SAIT, Chang-Kyu Choi. And the future is all about embracing On-Device AI technologies rather than relying as well much on cloud-based AI solutions.
