VSORA Introduces Tyr Chip Family Enabling L2-L5 Autonomous DrivingPARIS, Jan. 12, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- VSORA, provider of high-performance silicon intellectual property (IP) solutions for artificial intelligence (AI), digital communications and advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) applications, today unveiled a family of PetaFLOPS computational companion chips to accelerate Level 3 (L3) through Level 5 (L5) autonomous vehicle designs. The first full silicon solution from VSORA, Tyr™ uses a proprietary and scalable architecture to achieve unparalleled performance built on the VSORA AD1028 architecture awarded “Best Processor IP in 2020” by The Linley Group. Introducing the VSORA Tyr Family The modular architecture of the Tyr family is well suited to meet the challenges of autonomous driving. With a computational power of 1,032 TeraFLOPS, the Tyr3 processes an eight-million cell particle filter using 16-million particles in less than 5 milliseconds (msec). A full-high-definition (FHD) image with Yolo-v3 takes less than 1.6 msec leading to a throughput of 625 images per second. The Tyr family is implemented using VSORA’s proprietary low-power architecture to achieve more than 80% usage efficiency approximating the theoretical maximum processing power, eliminating the need for expensive multi-chip or hardware accelerator solutions or special cooling solutions. Availability and Pricing The VSORA Tyr1, Tyr2 and Tyr3 will sample in Q4 2022 and will be available in-vehicle in 2024. Pricing is available upon request.
