MIPS 64-Bit Processor Boosts Artificial Intelligence Growth

KUALA LUMPUR, March 8 (Bernama) -- MIPS Tech, a provider of processor architecture and IP cores, has announced that its 64-bit hardware multi-threaded processor core is being widely embraced by technology companies as they develop Artificial Intelligence (AI) solutions.

MIPS, in a statement said that recently, Wave Computing adopted the MIPS core for use in its next-generation of deep learning solutions to handle device management and control functions, including real-time operating system (RTOS) and system-on-chip (SoC) subsystem.

The embedded MIPS core will enhance Wave's innovative dataflow technology, which enables fast and efficient processing of neural network graphs.

"Today, our core is at the heart of some of the world's most innovative designs that are fuelling the explosive growth of AI," said vice-president of engineering at MIPS, David Lau.

"While focusing on our core competencies, we are committed to propelling the development of emerging intelligent applications," he added.

Chief executive officer of Wave Computing, Derek Meyer commented that the MIPS processor's 64-bit architecture would enable the company to further support the memory address range needed for next-generation AI applications.

"Its multi-threading capabilities enable faster real-time and more efficient task management of our dataflow software agents. Also, the MIPS ecosystem and development tool environments are well suited for rapidly growing applications like AI," Meyer said.

In addition to Wave, companies including Mobileye, Fungible, ThinCI, and DENSO, among others, are using the MIPS 64-bit processor core as they develop ground-breaking AI applications.
