About CORAL USB ACCELATOR 4TOPS
The Coral USB Accelerator adds an Edge TPU coprocessor to
your system. It includes a USB-C socket you can connect to a
host computer to perform accelerated ML inferencing.
The on-board Edge TPU is a small ASIC designed by Google that accelerates TensorFlow Lite models in a power efficient
manner: it's capable of performing 4 trillion operations per second (4 TOPS), using 2 watts of powerthat's 2 TOPS per
watt. For example, one Edge TPU can execute state-of-the-art mobile vision models such as MobileNet v2 at almost 400
frames per second. This on-device ML processing reduces latency, increases data privacy, and removes the need for a
constant internet connection.
Powerful AI Acceleration at the EdgeEmpower your embedded and edge devices with the Coral USB Accelerator, built with an Edge TPU coprocessor offering up to 4 TOPS. It efficiently handles machine learning inferencing, enabling faster, real-time results without relying on a cloud connection.
Seamless Integration and Broad CompatibilityThe Coral USB Accelerator features USB 3.0 Type-A connectivity, and is compatible with Linux, Windows, MacOS, and Raspberry Pi. Its straightforward integration with TensorFlow Lite enables rapid deployment in a wide range of machine learning workflows.
Efficient, Compact Design for Versatile ApplicationsWeighing just 20 grams and measuring 65x30x8 mm, this device fits easily into space-constrained environments. It draws minimal power directly from the USB port, making it ideal for portable and always-on AI solutions. Designed to operate between 0C and 50C, it supports various industrial and edge use cases.
