Legacy IP Providers Struggle to Solve the NPU Dilemna
At Quadric we do a lot of first-time introductory visits with prospective new customers. As a rapidly expanding processor IP licensing company that is starting to get noticed (even winning IP Product of the Year!) such meetings are part of the territory. Which means we hear a lot of similar sounding questions from appropriately… Read More
A Novel Approach to Future Proofing AI Hardware
There is a built-in challenge for edge AI intended for long time-in-service markets. Automotive applications are the obvious example, while aerospace and perhaps medical usage may impose similar demands. Support for the advanced AI methods we now expect – transformers, physical and agentic AI – is not feasible without dedicated… Read More
