Applications.Bring it to life with Movidius

Technology Overview


A Flexible Architecture

Movidius' unique and propietary approach to multicore SoC design enables a broad range of applications to be developed that previously were not possible on a mobile platform.  While traditional processors featured dedicated hardware acceleration to perform particular tasks, Movidius have taken the approach of embedding 8 identical processing units capable of integer, floating point and vector processing.  Combined, this platform delivers 20GFLOPs of processing power, unheard of in a mobile device.

    

Super Low Power

So this must run at a high clock rate, 1GHz perhaps?  Not at all.  Revolutionary processor design enables the SoC to deliver this superior computational performance at a super low power.  Movidius' SoC uses 65nm CMOS technology. Movidius is focused on bringing complex applications to the mobile device without the associated power penalty expected.

Time to Market

Traditional methodologies suffer from the inflexibility of their SoC design as each accelerator that is instantiated can only perform certain tasks. Such systems must anticipate the algorithmic requirements of the future or redesign the hardware architecture.

With a completely configurable architecture, Movidius can react rapidly to market demands for new technology to be implemented. No need to wait for costly silicon development cycles and endless respins, Movidius' programming team can begin the design immediately on the exisiting silicon platform.

The Applications

This low-power, high performance, multicore approach enables Movidius to produce a wide range of versatile applications.   2010 is the year of 3D TVs and 3D technology and Movidius' Myriad 3D platform delivers its Best Mobile 3D solution to your handset.  For the typical user, frustrated with poor photo and video quality, Movidius brings its Best Capture technology.  For the aspiring  movie-maker, film editor or simply the user who wants to dramatically bring poor quality photos and videos back to life Movidius brings Best Edit to their fingertips. Best View addresses the lack of high quality up-scaling, down-scaling and video enhancement facilities available today and Best Share completes the experience for the social networker eager to impress the online community.  Or how about using a dual camera for 2D Dual Camera Effects?

                  

 


 

          

Differentiated Android Phones

Truly differentiated Android devices are becoming harder to spot. As a proliferation of Android phones hit the shelves what exactly is setting them apart?  A vast array of Android apps is not helping to distinguish individual handsets and indeed are ultimately limited by the performance the handset itself.  Movidius is addressing this gap head-on by bringing a new level of performance to the phone. See our Android Differentiation page for details of this exciting technology.

An Operator's Dream

Operators are continually challenged to create  new and innovative schemes to attract new customers while simultaneously reducing churn and encouraging loyalty among their current customers. See our Operator Benefits page to see how Movidius' solutions assist operators to create interesting revenue models.
