SAN JOSE, Calif., May 4, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Movellus, Inc. today announced that Esperanto Technologies has adopted Movellus’ Maestro AI intelligent clocking solution for its ET-SoC-1 chips. Esperanto develops high-performance, energy-efficient computing solutions based on RISC-V for Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML) and Deep Learning (DL) applications. The first of the AI processor family for Esperanto, the ET-SoC-1 chip aims to reduce the energy costs in data centers for AI inference applications. It has more than 1,000 domain accelerated ET-Minion RISC-V cores and boasts up to 100X better energy efficiency in terms of inferences per watt than the incumbent solutions.

“The performance and efficiency of the ET-SoC-1 chip is derived from a combination of factors, including the simplicity of the RISC-V instruction set, wide vector/tensor units on every ET-Minion core, a uniquely optimized memory hierarchy, custom pipeline architecture and low-voltage circuits which enables more energy-efficient operation,” said Art Swift, President and CEO of Esperanto. “The Maestro AI intelligent clocking solution was essential in enabling us to achieve breakthrough power efficiency.”

“Esperanto has developed a ground-breaking accelerator chip for large-scale machine learning applications that will advance the move to carbon-neutral data centers,” said Mo Faisal, President and CEO of Movellus. “We are proud that Esperanto chose Maestro AI intelligent clocking solution for its first AI processors.”
