In a typical SoC, you handle all your processing functionality within the processor core. Makes sense, right? What if you can handle your processing within the SoC’s memory subsystem? If I understand the concept correctly, the time and power to handle those processing functions would be reduced considerably, which is needed in an AI application. So why hasn’t someone done this? 

Someone has, and that would be PIMIC. To learn what this means and how it works, I spoke to Subi Krishnamurthy, the Founder and CEO of PIMIC, on this week’s Embedded Executives podcast.

In a new release, PIMIC, a maker of ultra-low-power AI semiconductor technology, unveiled its Clarity NC100, a Deep Neural Network (DNN)-based Environmental Noise Cancellation (ENC) chip.

Cupertino, CA – PIMIC announced its official corporate launch, unveiling its mission to deliver cutting-edge AI inferencing silicon designed to power the next generation of intelligent, voice-activated edge devices (VAD) including toys, home and business audio systems, wearables, and robots.
