Gordon Cooper, Principal Product Manager at Synopsys, presents the Key Requirements to Successfully Implement Generative AI in Edge DevicesOptimized Mapping to the Enhanced NPX6 Neural Processing Unit IP tutorial at the May 2025 Embedded Vision Summit.
In this talk, Cooper discusses emerging trends in generative AI for edge devices and the key role of transformer-based neural networks. He reviews the distinct attributes of transformers, their advantages over conventional convolutional neural networks and how they enable generative AI.
Cooper then covers key requirements that must be met for neural processing units (NPU) to support transformers and generative AI in edge device applications. He uses transformer-based generative AI examples to illustrate the efficient mapping of these workloads onto the enhanced Synopsys ARC NPX NPU IP family.CapCut Pro Crack For PC Latest Version {Fully Unlocked} 2025

Utilities and water companies play a key role in the creation of clean drinking water. The creation and maintenance of clean drinking water is becoming a critical problem due to pollution and pressure on the environment. A lot of data is necessary to create clean drinking water. For fieldworkers, two types of data are key: Asset data in an asset management system (EAM for example) and Geographic data in a GIS (ArcGIS Utility Network ). Keeping this type of data up to date and in sync is a challenge for many organizations, leading to duplicating data and creating a bulk of extra attributes and data to keep everything in sync. Using FME, it is possible to synchronize Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) data with the ArcGIS Utility Network in real time. Changes (creation, modification, deletion) in ArcGIS Pro are relayed to EAM via FME, and vice versa. This ensures continuous synchronization of both systems without daily bulk updates, minimizes risks, and seamlessly integrates with ArcGIS Utility Network services. This presentation focuses on the use of FME at a Dutch water company, to create a sync between the asset management and GIS.You are not excused!
