Wave Computing today announced that it has acquired MIPS Tech, Inc. (formerly MIPS Technologies), a global leader in RISC processor Intellectual Property (IP) and licensable CPU cores. The acquisition will accelerate Wave's strategy of offering AI acceleration from the Datacenter to the Edge of Cloud by extending the company's products beyond AI systems to now also include AI-enabled embedded solutions.

[...] For example, Datacenter-centric AI applications today need many weeks to train using coprocessors such as GPUs, only to require a different architecture for inferencing at the Edge. The lack of a common AI platform, from Datacenter to Edge, slows market growth and reduces productivity of data scientists in fields such as autonomously driven vehicles, IoT sensors and more.

[...] "Wave's integration of two industry-leading compute architectures in a single data plane/control plane solution – Dataflow and Von Neumann – will be truly unique and an industry-first. It will fuel new, ground-breaking innovations in AI and other fields."

MIPS architecture.

    The certification was for their embedded OS Window Consumer Edition, aptly named WinCE. It was meant for real time systems but would not guarantee latency, max memory usage, max stack, interrupt response time, nor pretty much any other requirement for a real time OS you can think of.

    WinCE was a steaming pile of garbage, and the test required for your CPU to be certified for it wasn't much better.

    Why shouldn't we judge a book by it's cover? It's got the author, title, and a summary of what the book's about.
