Flex Logix™ Technology
InferX Software makes AI Inference easy, provides more throughput on tough models, costs less, and requires less power.
PROGRAMMABLE INTERCONNECT
Inference and eFPGA are both data flow architectures. A single inference layer can take over a billion multiply-accumulates. Our Reconfigurable Tensor Processor reconfigures the 64 TPUs and RAM resources to efficiently implement a layer with a full bandwidth, dedicated data path, like an ASIC; then repeats this layer by layer. Flex Logix utilizes a new breakthrough interconnect architecture: less than half the silicon area of traditional mesh interconnect, fewer metal layers, higher utilization and higher performance. The ISSCC 2014 paper detailing this technology won the ISSCC Lewis Winner Award for Outstanding Paper. The interconnect continues to be improved resulting in new patents.
SUPERIOR SCALABILITY
We can easily scale up our Inference and eFPGA architectures to deliver compute capacity of any size. Flex Logix does this using a patented tiling architecture with interconnects at the edge of the tiles that automatically form a larger array of any size.
TIGHTLY COUPLED SRAM AND COMPUTE
SRAM closely couples with our compute tiles using another patented interconnect. Inference efficiency is achieved by closely coupling local SRAM with compute which is 100x more energy efficient than DRAM bandwidth. This interconnect is also useful for many eFPGA applications.
DYNAMIC TENSOR PROCESSOR
Our dynamic tensor processor features 64 one-dimensional tensor processors closely coupled with SRAM. The tensor processors are dynamically reconfigurable during runtime, using our proprietary interconnect, thus enabling implementation of multi-dimensional tensor operations as required for each layer of a neural network model, resulting in high utilization and high throughput.SOFTWAREUnlike solutions designed around AI model development and training, our Inference accelerator starts with a trained ML model, typically in ONNX format and generates a program that runs on our InferX accelerators.
Our eFPGA compiler has been in use by dozens of customers for several years. Software drivers will be available for common Server OS and real time OS for MCUs and FPGAs.InferX PCI Express and M.2 offeringsThe InferX X1 processor is in production and is available now in PCI Express (HHHL), M.2 (M+B key) and chip level offerings.

InchFab began out Mitchell and Parker's PhD work at MIT. During grad school they experienced firsthand that, even at top institutions, innovation at the micro- and nanoscale is severely handicapped by an expensive and aging tool infrastructure. As makers themselves, they wanted to create a more efficient and accessible way for themselves and others to create novel micro- and nanodevices. To realize this they developed the core technology that now drives InchFab – a ultra-low-cost scalable “micro-sized” fab platform. Today InchFab uses this platform to provide highly flexible and cost effective foundry services to its customers and partners.

ABOUT QUADRIC
A Great Team Dedicated to Machine Learning Semiconductor IP
THE INDUSTRY'S FIRST GPNPU
Artificial Intelligence (AI) enhances the functionality of devices used in many applications – autonomous vehicles, industrial robots, remote controls, game consoles, smartphones, and more. Machine Learning (ML) is a subset of the broader category of AI. By using ML models, which are trained by sifting through enormous amounts of historical data to discover patterns, devices can perform amazing tasks without being explicitly programmed.
ML models are created using known labeled datasets (training phase) and are subsequently used to make predictions when presented with new, unknown data in a live deployment scenario (inference). Because an enormous amount of computing resources are required both for training and inference, an ML accelerator is now vital in handling computational workloads.
For most high-volume consumer products, chips are designed with tight cost, power, and size limitations. This is the market Quadric serves with innovative semiconductor intellectual property (IP) building blocks. Our ML-optimized Chimera processors allow companies to rapidly build leading-edge SoCs and more easily write application code for those chips.
After proving the innovative Chimera architecture in 2021 by producing a test chip, Quadric introduced its first licensable IP product – the industry’s first GPNPU (general purpose Neural Processing Unit) in November of 2022, and began product deliveries in Q1 2023.

About TD Shepherd
The TD Shepherd team has been helping technology companies successfully navigate the maze of corporate finance since 2014.
Pioneering a Unified Approach in High-Tech Finance and M&A
As seasoned Silicon Valley veterans we understand that the final transaction, being the investment round or the acquisition, is only as good as the path towards it. That path requires a deep knowledge of the market, the technology, the key players and eco-system. The ability to understand the customer’s story allows TD Shepherd to not only determine the best strategy but also how a customer should be positioned to achieve the best results. Full understanding first is an absolute must, and we practice that by using one of two approaches: Discovery or Ambition. Depending on the stage of the company and the clarity on strategy, growth targets and roadmap, one or the other approach is used to determine the exact position the company and management team is in. Based on that position and its objectives a detailed plan and timeline can be developed together with the Management Team and shareholders to ensure that TD Shepherd and customer operate as ONE TEAM. Given that the path to completion can sometimes take a year or longer it is very important that we operate as one, not two separate teams.
