Interesting following LDN's mention of potential for Akida IP being in Renasas microcontrollers

TinyML just got a new AI competitor

Warm Regards HomeAles

Automotive SoC Brings Functional Safety to CNN Accelerator Cores, ASIL D Control

Mar 9th, 2021

In one of the sessions at the recently concluded International Solid-State Circuits Conference 2021 (ISSCC 2021), Renesas presented a system-on-chip (SoC) that can do all of the main processing tasks for autonomous driving (AD). The device achieves 60.4trillion operations per second (TOPS) and 13.8 TOPS/W from a 12-nm process. These technologies have been applied in the company’s latest automotive SoC, designated R-Car V3U.

Based on the Renesas R-Car Gen 4 architecture, the V3U offers scalability from entry-level applications up to highly automated driving systems. Available for advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS), the part allows for electronic control units (ECUs) that are air-cooled, which brings advantages in weight and cost.

In addition, since signal processing from objectidentification to the issuing of control instructions constitutes thebulk of the processing load in AD systems, achieving the functional safety equivalent to ASIL D—the strictest safety level defined in the ISO 26262 automotive safety standard—is a notable feature.

With the large computational complexity of convolutionalneural networks (CNNs), designers are looking for platforms that are as fast and energy-efficient as possible. Renesas says the SoC builds on its previous IP, enhancing CNN processing performance by four times compared to theprevious generation.

The R-Car V3U has 2 MB of dedicated memory per CNN accelerator core, for a total of 6 MB of memory. This reduces data transfersbetween external DRAM and the CNN accelerator by more than 90%.

…

The R-Car V3U also supports a wide range of programmable engines. These include DSP for radar processing, a multi-threading computer vision engine for traditional computer-vision algorithms, image signal processing to enhance image quality, and additional hardware accelerators for key algorithms such as dense optical flow, stereo disparity, and object classification.

The R-Car V3U delivers flexible deep-neural-network (DNN) and AI machine-learning functions. Renesas says its architecture is ableto handle any state-of-the-art neural networks for automotive obstacledetection and classification tasks while maintaining 60 TOPS with low power consumption and an air-cooling system.

According to Renesas, the SoC also is optimized for intelligent driver systems such as driver monitoring, park assist, and occupant sensing.

Any more herrings in that tin?
