This tiny, fanless, deep learning device allows you to learn AI programming at the edge. It is powered by the same high-performance Intel(R) MovidiusTM Vision Processing Unit (VPU) that can be found in millions of smart security cameras, gesture controlled drones, industrial machine vision equipment, and more. https://software.intel.com/en-us/movidius-ncs Introducing the Intel Movidius Neural Compute ... 2/7 2/4/2019 Intel(R) MovidiusTM Neural Compute Stick | Intel(R) Software Learn What You Can Do with a Neural Compute Stick Enable rapid prototyping, validation, and deployment of deep neural network (DNN) inference applications at the edge. The low-power vision processing unit (VPU) architecture enables an entirely new segment of AI applications that are not reliant on a connection to the cloud. Combined with the Intel(R) MovidiusTM Software Development Kit (SDK), it allows deep learning developers to profile, tune, and deploy convolutional neural networks (CNN) on low-power applications that require real-time inferencing. Deep Learning with Intel: Siraj Raval In this video, Siraj discusses how the Intel(R) MovidiusTM Neural Compute Stick works. He demonstrates image classification in Python* using the miniature deep learning hardware development platform. https://software.intel.com/en-us/movidius-ncs Deep Learning with Intel 3/7 2/4/2019 Intel(R) MovidiusTM Neural Compute Stick | Intel(R) Software SEE WHAT'S INSIDE Introducing the Intel(R) MovidiusTM MyriadTM 2 Vision Processing Unit (VPU) As the industry's first always-on vision processor, this VPU delivers high-performance machine vision and visual awareness in severely power-constrained environments.
