Startup eliminates the need for Nvidia GPUs

Deep learning is the most advanced set of algorithms for machine vision applications powered by artificial intelligence, capable of outperforming any other current method. However, it requires great processing power that restricts its applications to the cloud- devices such as wearables and drones are still not capable of supporting the technology.

Enter Brodmann17, the company that eliminates the need for the expensive power-hungry GPUs, which often produce excessive amounts of heat, making devices work harder and process information slower.

In the case of smartphones, the company’s deep learning technology reduces the amount of calculations needed to compute, saving users 95% of the overall power consumption in their smartphone batteries, while saving developers time on creating new hardware, at a fraction of the cost.

The technology also enables local processing of images and videos, creating a safer and more private experience on one’s device.

The company is enabling deep learning on existing processors, extending the life of products for consumers. By replacing traditional computer vision algorithms with deep learning algorithms on the same processors, Brodmann17’s technology can also boost the performance of cameras, smartphones and more using software alone.
