Movidius is a DSP, literally a VLIW DSP.



You should take a look at their architecture diagram. There’s a lot of meat on the bones there besides DSP, particularly when you look at their memory setup and consider how much bandwidth it can provide simultaneously. And let us not forget that convolution is essentially a DSP operation.

I was, frankly, surprised by the technical depth of what they were able to put together.


Uhh, their cache, scratchpad and LPDDR?

Of course it has high bandwidth, it's a multi bank on chip memory...

And yes, I've seen all public (and some non public) information on their architecture
