Coral TPU Edge SMT Accelerator Module

Coral TPU Edge Surface-Mount Accelerator Module is a multi-chip module (MCM) designed to perform high-speed inferencing for machine learning (ML) models. The Coral TPU module includes the Edge TPU ML accelerator with integrated power control, which can be connected over a PCIe Gen2 x1 or USB2 interface. The Edge TPU is a small ASIC design that accelerates TensorFlow Lite models in a power-efficient manner. The module can perform 4 trillion operations per second (4 TOPS), using 2W of power (2 TOPS per watt). For example, one Edge TPU can execute state-of-the-art mobile vision models such as MobileNet v2 at almost 400 frames per second. This on-device ML processing reduces latency, increases data privacy, and removes the need for a constant internet connection.
