edgetpu VS Dual-Edge-TPU-Adapter

I know the tensor power pixelbook was shutdown and I never heard the actual reason just a bunch of speculation about costs/profitability which is probably true.

It's a shame that there isn't more competition and development in the neural asic world to harness the power of llms/generative AI on a low power, cheap hardware platform like the pixelbook line. For someone that invented the TPU they have done a not so great job of ensuring it's commercialization and support. Both on the hardware and software side.

The coral edge tpu seemed to be the right high level idea but without proper execution.

Mostly unrelated, but I recently discovered that you can buy TPUs, right now, as a consumer product, from https://coral.ai.

The stock firmware already allows you to run these things so hard they overheat, which is amazing.

But yes, I also want FPGA accelerators.

I'm looking at the coral.ai cards and they have a M.2 A+E card, same form factor as the wifi slot in the m900 tiny. Has anyone tried another card in that slot other than wifi?

Chips optimized to perform the type of calculations used for NN inference at high parallelism. A good example would be the google spinoff https://coral.ai/ (though their usecase is highly limited by sub-par software constraints)

By no means an expert, but I have seen prototypes using a raspberry pi and a dongle from Coral Ai. They have PCIE and USB based modules.

Last news on https://coral.ai/ was on May 5 2022

Activity on the github project seems to have stopped. https://github.com/google-coral

Your problem statement still needs more clarification. If the above applies, the best way is to evaluate your ML-based pattern matcher on high-level scenarios. One approach to speed up the evaluation is to lift and shift the execution of scenarios into cloud. Another approach is to use an AI accelerator, such as http://coral.ai or other.

You probably could but not with raspis. Maybe the TPUs they sell. https://coral.ai/

M.2 Slot 4.0 x4 > This adapter that supports dual-bus E Key M.2 E Key dual Coral TPU

The Coral Dual TPU uses both the lines of the E-key standard, but everything else just uses one. So basically every E-key slot can only use half of it. the adapter that I’m waiting is handmade from a guy just for this module. THIS GUY

while currently it is not in stock, this project provides various adapters for the dual coral (including a pcie adapter: https://github.com/magic-blue-smoke/Dual-Edge-TPU-Adapter)

Get in on this: https://github.com/magic-blue-smoke/Dual-Edge-TPU-Adapter

Someone is trying to do this with these pcie-switch chips if you want to get on a waiting list for the adapter. Now I want to know if these pcie-switch chips can be chained...

Thanks so much for replying! Is the DDA working reliably? For some reason the Amazon links are not going through... I'm looking at picking up one of these too as my R530 doesn't support bifurcation: https://github.com/magic-blue-smoke/Dual-Edge-TPU-Adapter
