If you're weighing whether an InferX is a good alternative to a GPU, you're probably wondering if InferX is safe. The good news is that the cost is considerably lower. If you're not so sure about the safety, however, read on. In this article, I'll explain whether InferX is safe and why you should choose one over the other. This is an excellent decision for those on a budget who aren't looking to spend much.

InferX is cheaper than a GPU​

A key advantage of InferX is its reduced cost. By reducing the size of the silicon wafer, it can build 10 times more devices with the same investment. The resulting smaller silicon area is used to power more devices, which in turn leads to lower power consumption. It is also easier to install and configure than GPUs. This makes it a great choice for workloads that need to run quickly. In addition, InferX has a lower power consumption than a GPU, which is a great selling point for many users.

Geoff Tate, CEO and co-founder of Flex Logix, explains how InferX X1 works. The Flex Logix part is 3X smaller than the Nvidia Tesla T4, but delivers 11X more performance. The smaller size and low power consumption allows it to be a more cost-effective option. The company is also supporting large volumes and associated discounts for a wide range of applications. With InferX X1, the company plans to open new markets and change history.

The InferX X1 chip includes multiple nnMax clusters and can deliver better performance for neural-network batch sizes of one, which is typical for embedded edge IoT devices. It also utilizes a YOLOv3 model to handle real-time object recognition. It uses one DRAM to run a simulation, which reduces power consumption. With this single chip, the frame rate of a 1-Mpixel image is doubled, doubling to 22.8 frames.

InferX is safer than a GPU​

InferX is a new kind of accelerator chip that can be used for edge computing. It features a single DRAM and delivers high performance per watt. Its processor architecture has been optimized for large models and batch sizes, resulting in a low power consumption and high throughput per watt. Its tensor array is capable of handling deep neural networks. Its reconfigurable data path allows it to accommodate new model technologies and algorithms.

InferX is much safer than a GPU because it is based on nanoscopic transistors. It is more energy-efficient than GPUs, which can cause a spike in power consumption. In addition, it can be used as a high-performance compute option in systems with very high workloads. In addition, Flex Logix's nnMAX is expected to tape out in Q3 2019.

While cache hit rates are known for existing code, it is difficult to predict them for new workloads. Also, it is difficult to predict contention in a shared environment. InferX X1's compute resources are placed within an eFPGA fabric, and have a programmed interconnect that connects memory with input activation and output activation to MACs and LUTs. By doing this, InferX has less contention.
