Ngaphandle kokungabaza eyodwa Esinye sezici ezinhle ze-AI ukuthi ivumela imishini ukuthi yenze zonke izinhlobo zemisebenzi ezazibekelwe abantu phambilini, ngaphezu kwalokho lokho kusiza kakhulu ukwenza izinqubo eziningi zisebenze, kuthuthukise imisebenzi eminingi yabantu. Kungenzeka ukuthi uzwile ngeCoral idivayisi ehloselwe umkhakha we-AI ekhula kakhulu.
Lapho, ukuhlangabezana nezidingo kumakhasimende, eCoral inikeza izinhlobo ezimbili eziyinhloko zemikhiqizo: ama-accelerator namabhodi entuthuko okuveza imibono emisha namamojula wokunikeza amandla obuchopho bokuzenzela bamadivayisi wokukhiqiza njengamakhamera ahlakaniphile nezinzwa.
Kuzona zozimbili lezi zinhlaka, inhliziyo yehadiwe yi-TPU Edge yakwaGoogle, i-chip ye-ASIC elungiselelwe ukusebenzisa ama-algorithms wokufunda womshini osindayo, inguqulo encane ye-TPU epholile esetshenziswa kumaseva wefu weGoogle.
Imodyuli yeCoral USB Accelerator ine i-chip ye-elekthronikhi leyo esetshenziselwa ukwelashwa kobuhlakani bokufakelwa eyenziwe endaweni. Idizayinelwe njenge-peripheral ekulula ukuxhuma kuyo, imodyuli yeCoral USB Accelerator inikeza Raspberry Pi nanocomputer bonke ubuhlakani Isifunda esihlanganisiwe se-Edge TPU.
Ngokwazi ukusebenzisa amanethiwekhi we-neural ku-RPi uqobo, ungafaka ngokushesha nangendlela efanele amakhono obuciko bokufakelwa kumaphrojekthi wakho, ngenkathi uvikela imfihlo yedatha yakho.
Ukwakha amanethiwekhi wakho we-neural futhi ubathobele inqubo yokufunda, abathuthukisi yiba neTensorFlow. Ngakho-ke kufanele bahlanganise futhi basebenzise kumakhadi we-Edge TPU besebenzisa isoftware enikeziwe. Lapho inethiwekhi ehlanganisiwe ifakiwe, konke ukubala kwenziwa endaweni yangakini kusifunda se-Edge TPU, ngaphandle kokuthumela idatha efwini. Noma iyiphi i-lag yefu iyasuswa, ukusebenza kuyathuthuka, futhi idatha yomsebenzisi igcinwa endaweni ingaphansi kokulawulwa.
Njenge-Intel Movidius Neural Compute Stick ekhishwe ngaphezu konyaka odlule, ICoral USB Accelerator ifaka i-ASIC yakho yangokwezifiso ngendlela yedivayisi ekulula ukuyisebenzisa ebukeka ifana ne-flash disk. Kodwa-ke, uma kuqhathaniswa izinhlangothi zombili, kukhona umehluko osobala.
I-plaque yeCoral Dev inekhadi isisekelo esinokuxhumeka:
- I-USB 2.0 / 3.0
- Isixhumi esibonakalayo se-DSI
- Isixhumi esibonakalayo sekhamera ye-MIPI-CSI
- Imbobo yeGigabit Ethernet
- I-3,5mm yomsindo we-jack
- 4mm 2,54-pin ukuphela kwezipikha zestiriyo
- Isixhumi esigcwele se-HDMI 2.0
- Imakrofoni ezimbili zedijithali ze-PDM kanye nonhlokweni we-40-pin GPIO.
Isistimu ye-module engu-40 × 48mm ekhishwayo (i-SoM) inamathiselwe ekhadini lesisekelo yakhiwe eduze kweprosesa ye-NXP i.MX 8M kanye ne-TPU Edge uqobo. I-SoM ine-cryptographic coprocessor, eyakhelwe ngaphakathi i-Wi-Fi, ne-Bluetooth 4.1 ukwesekwa, kanye ne-1GB ye-LPDDR4 RAM ne-8GB ye-eMMC.
Ngakolunye uhlangothi iCoral, inohlelo lwayo oluyi IMendel Linux lokho yakhela esisekelweni seDebian futhi ihambisana ngokuphelele nezinqolobane zale phrojekthi (njengoba isebenzisa amaphakheji kanambambili angaqinisekisiwe nezibuyekezo ezivela ezinqolobaneni ezinkulu zeDebian).
Ipulatifomu yeCoral futhi iqukethe isethi yamamodeli asenziwe ngomumo (pre-build and pre-learn), elungiselelwe i-Edge TPU chip chip. Lezi zinhlobo eziguquguqukayo zenza izinhlelo zibe lula futhi zivumelane nezinhlelo zakho zokusebenza.
Ngenkathi imishini ingasetshenziswa onjiniyela ukudala amaphrojekthi, ICoral inikeza imihlahlandlela sendlela yokwakha umshini wokuhlunga i-marshmallow kanye ne-smart bird feeder, isibonelo.
Ngaphezu kwenhloso yesikhathi eside sepuleti, kungukuthi ihlose ukusetshenziswa kwayo kumakhasimende ezinkampani ezimbonini ezinjengezimoto kanye nomhlaba wezempilo.
Noma kunjalo ICoral ihlose umhlaba wobumbano, iphrojekthi inezimpande zayo ebangeni le-Google lamakhithi wokufunda womshini we- "AIY".
Ikhishwe ngo-2017 futhi inikwe amandla amakhompyutha we-Raspberry Pi, ama-AIY kits avumela noma ngubani ukuthi azakhele izipikha namakhamera ahlakaniphile futhi aphumelele kakhulu kubakhiqizi be-STEM nezimakethe zamathoyizi.
