On December 13, 2022, the "Edge Computer Conference" organized by Picture Information Technology (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd. and Shenzhen Artificial Intelligence Industry Association was held in Dayun AI Town, Longgang District, Shenzhen.
With the large-scale application and continuous progress of 5G, Internet of Things, artificial intelligence and other technologies, the edge computing market has entered a period of vigorous development. In the "14th Five-Year" Digital Economy Development Plan and the "Industrial Internet Innovation and Development Action Plan (2021-2023)", my country also proposed to accelerate the application of edge computing and other technologies in the industry to help enterprises digitally transform. Require.
Due to the vigorous development of edge computing, edge computing hardware has different names. Each enterprise and industry has its own name, edge computing box, edge computing device, edge computing gateway, etc.; The most correct name. Looking at the name "edge computer" from the perspective of profession/function/function is very suitable, and the name "edge computer" is also the easiest to understand from the public's cognitive understanding. Therefore, the purpose of this "Edge Computer Conference" is to appeal to partners in the artificial intelligence industry and friends in the same industry as pictured here to name edge computing hardware devices uniformly.
In this edge computer press conference, the picture shows technology CEO Su Shipeng also shared with you the characteristics and advantages of edge computers.
Features of edge computers:
Small size:
It can be as big as a glasses case or a mouse.
Big computing power:
It can reach 275TOPS and can run algorithms on the edge.
Low power consumption:
The minimum power consumption is only 10 watts, which is about the same as that of a light bulb; it can be directly powered by batteries.
Rich interfaces:
All kinds of commonly used network ports, USB ports, serial ports, CAN communication ports and other interfaces are available.
Advantages of Edge Computers:
Low Latency:
Because the algorithm processing is deployed at the source of the data, the data latency is very low. Avoid the severe impact of data delays or outages.
low cost:
Because algorithm processing is done at the source of the data, all data does not need to be uploaded to the cloud, reducing data transmission costs.
Flexible deployment:
Due to its small size and interoperability between old and new devices, the deployment is very flexible, reducing the difficulty and cost of deployment.
Multi-scenario application:
Because the interface is rich, it can be adapted to various application scenarios, such as: industrial control, intelligent robot, intelligent camera and so on.
Application scenarios of edge computers:
Due to the wide range of applications of edge computers, the picture shows Mr. Su summed up two categories for us.
1. Autonomous mobile devices, such as: autonomous driving , inspection robots, drones, etc.
2. Fixed-position working equipment, such as: intelligent security monitoring, intelligent manufacturing, Metaverse, etc.
The picture of this meeting shows Mr. Su also shared the
The difference between edge computer and traditional industrial computer
1. Core processor
The traditional industrial computer uses CPU as the main processor, and the main work of edge computer is mainly based on GPU/NPU.
2. Hardware architecture
Traditional industrial computers are based on the X86 architecture, and edge computers are generally ARM architecture.
3. Software system
Traditional industrial control is dominated by Windows systems, while edge computers are dominated by Linux systems.
The editor has been working in the edge computing industry for more than 2 years and has not figured out what is the difference between edge computing and industrial computers except GPU. Hearing Mr. Su's explanation this time, I felt enlightened instantly, and finally figured out what the differences are.
The press conference is pictured as a technology announcement
The picture shows the T928 product
The picture shows the T928 edge computer, with an AI computing power of up to 200TOPS. Designed for autonomous driving, the IP65 protection level is waterproof and dustproof.
The picture shows the six reasons to love the T928 edge computer :
1. Ten Gigabit network ports: 1 Gigabit, 4 Gigabit.
2. Support 5G: optional 4G/5G communication
3. GMSL2 interface: 16 GMSL2 interfaces, backward compatible with GMSL1
4. Extremely stable: stable operation at -40°C low temperature
5. Data security: support USB dongle
6. IP65 protection level: waterproof and dustproof can be used in harsh environments.
The last picture shows that the technology also shares the advantages of the six major companies
In the future, the picture shows technology will continue to cultivate in the field of AI edge computing, enrich product forms, create industry benchmark solutions and innovative products, help China's industrial digital transformation and upgrading, and make a contribution to the "New Generation Artificial Intelligence Development Plan" proposed by the State Council own contribution.
