New sensor hub DSP architecture released by CEVA

April 22, 2020
The architecture targets imaging, SLAM, and AI-centric applications.

SensPro is a sensor hub DSP architecture that combines single and half precision floating-point math with 8- and 16-bit parallel processing capacity, incorporating a CEVA-BX scalar DSP to create a migration path from single sensory system designs to multi-sensor contextual-aware designs with control node execution with a 4.3 CoreMark/MHz score.

The new sensor hub uses a configurable 8-way VLIW architecture and a micro-architecture of combined scalar and vector processing units to enable operating speeds of 1.6 GHz at a 7 nm process node. SensPro has a wide SIMD scalable processor for parallel processing configurable for up to 1024 8x8 MACs, 256 16x16 MACs, and dedicated 8x2 binary neural network support.

Other features include memory architecture bandwidth of 400 Gbps, 4-way instruction cache, 2-way vector data cache, DMA, and queue and buffer managers. Software and development tools are included with the sensor hub.

Three configurations will be available, the SP250 for imaging, vision, and sound applications; the SP500F for floating point MAC and simultaneous localization and mapping applications; and a dual vector unit, the SP1000, targeting AI-centric applications.
