Key benefits

SBC with integrated Metis® AI accelerator: A single-board computer (SBC) based on a Metis AIPU with a four-lane PCIe connection to the CPU makes it possible to run high-performance inference tasks, suitable for running multi-stream and multi-model applications.
Local compute for Edge/IoT devices: Compact form factor SBC for low system complexity. With exceptional energy efficiency, the Metis Compute Board is designed for devices at the Edge that require intense compute resources.
ARM-based application processor: Powered by two quad-core ARM Cortex CPUs for general-purpose processing, the board is powerful enough to support nearly any use case, while ensuring compatibility with diverse application requirements.
Complete development stack: Including a Board Support Package (BSP) and the Axelera Voyager SDK the Metis Compute Board makes a complete platform to accelerate deployment, reduce development overhead, and simplify system integration.
Scalable platform: The Metis platform is designed to be adaptable to evolving AI needs. With its unique architecture based on RISC-V and D-IMC (digital in-memory compute), Axelera® AI’s model zoo is continuously evolving to support the latest and most demanding neural networks.
