Axelera Metis PCIe AI Accelerator for Computer Vision

The Axelera Metis PCIe AI Accelerator Card is a powerful AI accelerator for Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) in inference , specifically for computer vision applications .

At the heart of the solution is Axelera AI's quad-core Metis AIPU (AI Processing Unit) , which combines high computing power with low power consumption. This makes the PCIe card particularly suitable for industrial and professional applications with large neural networks, high frame rates, or multiple parallel camera streams.

Main features:

• Up to 846 TOPS (INT8) with only 30–58 W power consumption

• Parallel execution of multiple deep neural networks and camera streams

• PCIe Gen3 x16 for easy integration into ARM and x86 systems

• Single-slot form factor , actively cooled
