TAIPEI, May 31, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Skymizer, a pioneer in compiler technology and optimized solutions, today announced the launch of a revolutionary artificial intelligence for software and hardware co-design ASIC IP address, EdgeThought, specifically designed to accelerate large-language models (LLM) at the edges. This cutting-edge innovation leverages advanced Skymizer compiler technology to set new industry standards in computing, memory utilization, energy efficiency and cost-effectiveness.

EdgeThought is designed to improve the performance of LLM applications on a wide range of edge devices, from IoT devices to automotive systems and AI computers/AI Edge servers, etc. By optimizing the design of EdgeThought using a compiler-centric approach, Skymizer ensures that these devices can run the most modern LLM models on the device, including the latest Llama3 8B.

Key features of Skymizer’s LLM accelerator:

  • Optimized Compiler Technology: At the heart of the accelerator is the proprietary Skymizer compiler technology, which maximizes hardware utilization and performance, ensuring excellent performance even on resource-constrained edge devices.
  • Increased compute and memory performance: The co-design approach minimizes latency and maximizes throughput while reducing memory footprint, enabling faster and more reliable LLM inference at the edge.
  • Energy and cost efficiency: Skymizer dramatically reduces energy consumption and operational costs associated with implementing advanced AI models, making it an ideal choice for companies looking to sustainably scale their operations.
  • Scalability and Flexibility: Designed to support a range of LLM applications, the accelerator can scale to a variety of sizes and performance requirements, including multiple users with multiple batches, to increase throughput for a high-performance edge server, offering unprecedented flexibility for device manufacturers and application developers.

“Today marks a significant milestone not only for Skymizer, but for the entire AI and edge computing industry,” he said Jim Lai, CEO of Skymizer. “Our innovative LLM accelerator redefines the performance capabilities of edge AI, making it both more accessible and cost-effective. This release reflects our commitment to pushing the boundaries of technology to empower our customers and enrich user experiences.”

With a decade of experience in the compiler and virtualization industry, Skymizer focuses on what it does best and designs EdgeThought as a compiler-optimized LLM ASIC The IP address specific to the inference task on the device. EdgeThought eliminated all the software and hardware needed for training and focused solely on inference. The result is a best-in-class LLM inference engine on your device. “If the Groq chip is the king of cloud LLM inference, then EdgeThought will be a game changer for on-device LLM inference,” he said. William Wei, Chief Marketing Officer and Vice President of Skymizer. “EdgeThought does not require the latest silicon manufacturing process, it could enable the production of lower-cost, mature silicon and specialty memory components that will revitalize the lower-cost memory industry in the GenAI era.”

EdgeThought IP is now available for licensing and can be integrated into existing hardware configurations without the need for extensive modifications. Skymizer has already begun working with leading semiconductor and device manufacturers to bring this advanced technology to market.
