CEVA has announced its fourth generation image and visual processor DSP products CEVA - XM4 intelligent vision, analysis has been semiconductor industry authority institution Linley Group named "2015 best processor IP".

Covers the Linley Group "best processor IP" award categories a wide range of various may authorize processor core, including CPU, DSP, GPU, VPUs and NOCs. Winners by the agency's technical analyst team elected they think target application performance, power consumption and area of the most outstanding product performance.

CEVA - XM4 in is the winner in 2015, the Linley Group said: "we think CEVA - XM4 than other may authorize visual processor can provide more superior performance, XM4 can run computer vision researchers use Nvidia's Cuda parallel computing platform to develop the same convolutional neural network (CNN) object recognition model, but a very small portion of its power consumption and cost."

Linley Group chief economist Linley Gwennap said: "we are very pleased to CEVA - XM 4 vision processor rated as" 2015 best processor IP ", in recognition of the embedded devices to realize computer vision function of outstanding ability. Computer vision in the automotive, consumer and industrial market is becoming more and more common, CEVA - XM 4 can provide attractive solutions to achieve these cost and power consumption of sensitive applications."

CEVA vice President of marketing and business development Eran Briman said: "since it was introduced in February 2015, CEVA - XM4 reached quickly and the success of the last generation product CEVA - MM3101, obtain Linley Group awarded prizes to the excellent technology is an important sure. CEVA - XM4 has won more than 20 images and visual design products, covering drones, ADAS, monitoring, smart phones, movement and SLR camera, we help our clients achieve integration of high-performance differentiation in any terminal equipment computer vision function goal."

CEVA images and visual DSP processor in view of the image and the most complicated to calculate the visual aspects of the application of the extreme processing requirements and design, such as video analysis, augmented reality and auxiliary driving, etc., through the performance intensive tasks from the CPU and GPU to offload on high performance DSP can significantly reduce the power consumption of the whole system, and provide the flexibility at the same time. The platform includes specialized for processing the application of such complex vector processor and rich application development toolkit (ADK) to simplify the development. CEVA ADK include the Android Multimedia Framework (AMF), may help reduce workload, software development and integration of an advanced software development tools and a series of software products and the optimization of the library. CEVA and ADAS for its customers with CEVA - XM4 ISO 26262 is compatible with safety design package, this will help customers design based on CEVA - XM 4 accelerate international ASIL association certification process.
