Intel and Microsoft are reuniting to support the chip maker's vision processing unit on the software giant's machine learning platform. The partners said the combination would allow AI inference at the network edge as Intel's Movidius unit looks to expand its machine vision and AI offerings.
The partners said this week the combination of the Intel Movidius Myriad X vision processor with the Microsoft platform would allow developers to explore machine learning tasks within the Microsoft OS. The Intel VPU is among a list of processors supported by Microsoft for handling AI workloads. The collaboration with Intel will focus on deploying deep neural network applications on Windows clients, the partners said Wednesday (March 7).
Intel (NASDAQ: INTC) bills the Movidius Myriad X vision processor as a system-on-chip with a dedicated neural computing engine for deep learning inference applications at the network edge. The third-generation chip is designed to boost the performance of deep neural networks while handling other specific AI tasks that can slow other system hardware.
