Hailo

Deep Learning is changing the world around us. Hailo has developed a breakthrough specialized deep learning processor, that empowers intelligent devices with the performance of a data center-class computer, operating in real time at minimal power consumption, size and cost.

To truly achieve an effective solution, we must reinvent a new processing architecture which will be based on new concepts, building blocks and different interaction between the hardware and software.

Hailo’s novel architecture takes a clean-slate approach that does not rely on the traditional CPU/GPU building blocks. Hailo has designed a specialized technology stack and created a domain-specific processor that vastly outperforms Van Neumann architecture.

Hailo delivers a structure-defined dataflow architecture based on multiple innovations, all targeting the fundamental properties of NNs:

– Distributed memory fabric combined with purpose-made pipeline elements, allowing very low power memory access.

– Novel control scheme based on a combination of hardware and software, reaching very low joules/operation with a high degree of flexibility.

– Extremely efficient computational elements which can be variably applied according to need.

– Dataflow-oriented interconnect that adapts according to the structure of the NN and allows high resource utilization.

– A full-stack software toolchain co-designed with the hardware architecture that enables efficient deployment of NNs developed on industry- standard frameworks.
