Synaptics' Astra™ AI-native IoT compute platform has been honoured with the 2024 EDGE Award in the Machine Learning and Deep Learning category, recognising its innovative approach to edge AI computing. This accolade, presented by Endeavor Media, highlights the platform's role in advancing product design and functionality within the engineering sector.
The Astra platform streamlines the deployment of edge AI by integrating scalable hardware, unified software, open-source AI frameworks, a broad partner ecosystem, and robust wireless connectivity. At its core lies the SL-Series of AI systems on chip (SoCs), which are built upon Arm® Cortex® A-series CPUs and equipped with onboard NPU, DSP, and GPU engines. These processors deliver up to 8 TOPS performance, facilitating efficient edge inferencing and multi-modal processing across various data types, including audio, video, vision, image, voice, and speech.
To support developers, the Astra Machina™ Foundation Series development kit offers tools to harness the SL-Series' AI capabilities effectively. This kit enables both novices and experts to leverage the platform's processing power and secure graphics performance, complemented by Synaptics’ Wi-Fi® and Bluetooth® SoCs for seamless connectivity.
The Synaptics Astra Machina Development Kits are now available from RS, offering a convenient way to start working with this award-winning platform. For more details, be sure to check out our in-depth article on the development kits and how they can accelerate your AI project development.
