This Affordable Device From Intel Brings Computer Vision To IoT And Edge Computing
NCS 2 device looks like a standard USB thumb drive that can be plugged into any Linux PC or a Raspberry Pi. When a computer vision application based on neural networks is run, the complex mathematical computation is offloaded to the special chip embedded inside the NCS 2 stick. The chip is designed to accelerate the computation which makes the execution of neural networks much faster when compared to the standard CPU. Simply put, NCS 2 acts like a micro GPU for inferencing machine learning models. Read more…
