In a recent release, SolidRun, a developer and manufacturer of high-performance edge computing solutions, and Gyrfalcon Technology, ASIC solutions provider, have announced a co-developed Arm-based AI inference server optimized for the edge. Designed to be highly scalable and modular, Janux GS31 reportedly supports neural network frameworks and can be configured with up to 128 Gyrfalcon Lightspeeur SPR2803 AI acceleration chips for complex video AI models.
“AI is rapidly moving to the edge of the network to address the performance and security needs of many applications,” said Jim McGregor, Founder and Principal Analyst, Tirias Research. “As a result, new networks will drive increasing demand for processing performance and efficiency. The SolidRun platform, leveraging the GTI AI acceleration technology, will provide a powerful and efficient way to build a new intelligent network bridging the gap between devices and the cloud.”
The partners said that this solution has been tailor-made to meet the future challenges of mass deployment of artificial intelligence applications at the edge. These might include energy consumption, cost effectiveness or server real estate, and this server foundation reportedly allows for accelerated and cost-effective scaling of AI inference. The companies said that Janux GS31 is well-suited for monitoring smart cities and infrastructure, intelligent enterprise/industrial video surveillance applications, tagging photos and videos for text-based searching and more.
“Powerful, new AI models are being brought to market every minute, and demand for AI inference solutions to deploy these AI models is growing massively,” said Dr. Atai Ziv, CEO, SolidRun. “While GPU-based inference servers have seen significant traction for cloud-based applications, there is a growing need for edge-optimized solutions that offer powerful AI inference with less latency than cloud-based solutions. Working with Gyrfalcon and utilizing their industry-proven ASICs has allowed us to create a powerful, cost-effective solution for deploying AI at the Edge that offers seamless scalability.”
