FAQ

M.2 AI Acceleration is a domain-specific architecture specifically to process AI workloads. M.2 is the form factor and how the processor is integrated into Premio’s rugged edge computers.

AI Accelerators efficiently processes data-intensive AI workloads with low-power consumption and within a compact form factor. This allows AI Accelerators to power AI algorithms, like machine/computer vision, in confined industrial spaces and provide seamless scalability for even greater workloads.

M.2 AI Acceleration Modules such as the Hailo-8 have a wide operating temperature range to be implemented into industrial computers and confidently process AI workloads in harsh industrial environments. Premio has developed EDGEBoost I/O Modules for seamless integration and dedicated heatsinks for the Hailo-8.

M.2 AI Accelerators are installed onto the on-board M.2 slot or on our EDGEBoost I/O Modules. Premio’s EDGEBoost I/O Modules feature an M.2 carrier board variation to house up to two M.2 AI accelerators on PCIe Gen 3.0 interface.

The RCO series is scalable to support up to 4x Hailo-8 AI Accelerators. The RCO-1000-EHL is only compatible with 1x Hailo, while the RCO-3000-CML can support up to 3x, and RCO-6000-CML up to 4x.
