Performance
The Inferencing stage is the most critical stage of the pipeline implementing the deep learning models for object detection and image classification. Megh’s DLE (Deep Learning Engine) running on FPGAs delivers the best performance for many of the models used for IVA. The high throughput achieved with FPGAs delivers the lowest cost per stream for many of the IVA use cases.
