Project description
Hardware and software platforms for inference at the edge
Integrating AI algorithms into edge computing enables edge devices to make predictions and inferences based on incoming data. The inference at the edge market is experiencing significant growth. In this context, the EIC-funded Axelera Europa project proposes a solution comprising hardware and software platforms optimised for inference at the edge. This solution offers accelerated processing for the latest generation of neural network models in areas such as computer vision, natural language processing and generative AI. The hardware platform will be available in multiple versions to facilitate adoption, ranging from a single device in an embedded system to multiple instances on cards within an edge data centre.
Objective
Our solution is a hardware (HW) and software (SW) platform optimized for inference at the edge, which, as a market, is projected to grow exponentially, and to reach €15.52 B in 2025. Our solution will accelerate the latest generation of neural network models for computer vision, natural language processing and generative AI to revolutionize the way we use AI, at a fraction of the costs and power consumption of available solutions. The HW will be available in various form factors for rapid adoption and is highly scalable–from a single device running in an embedded system to multiple instances on cards in an edge datacenter. Our SW tools provide a consistent, powerful and easy-to-use development environment for all of these instances, while driving the adoption of AI through our no-code web composer. We have a strong team led by the CEO who was the Head of Artificial Intelligence at Bitfury and has 20+ years of managerial experience in tech corporations such as Asus and Advantech.

Net EU financial contribution. The sum of money that the participant receives, deducted by the EU contribution to its linked third party. It considers the distribution of the EU financial contribution between direct beneficiaries of the project and other types of participants, like third-party participants.
