Overview

A leading American semiconductor manufacturer, faced challenges in providing customers with a streamlined way to evaluate their vision AI ICs for real-world applications. TenXer Labs’ LiveBench platform emerged as a solution, enabling customers to conduct real-time performance evaluations under various conditions, accelerating the evaluation process and improving customer satisfaction.

Opportunity | Bridging the Gap Between Performance Data and Application

The semiconductor manufacturer recognized the need to provide customers with a more accessible and efficient way to evaluate their vision AI ICs. Traditional methods involved customers purchasing expensive evaluation kits (EVKs), setting up complex lab environments, and seeking extensive support from the manufacturer. This process was time-consuming and often hindered customer adoption.

Problems | Enabling Customer To Perform End-to-End IC Evaluation for Vision AI Applications

Enabling customers to evaluate ICs for practical AI use cases that accurately emulates real-world scenarios supporting a wide range of AI use cases, including image classification, object detection, and other vision-based tasks;
To showcase internal power dynamics and performance of board under different workloads and operating conditions;
Enabling customers to perform bare bone system performance measurement of IC.

Solution | A Cloud-Based Platform for Vision AI IC Evaluation Emulating Real-World Scenarios

TenXer Labs’ LiveBench platform offered a revolutionary solution by providing a cloud-based, realistic representation of customers’ use cases.

Key features included

External Peripherals: LiveBench integrated external peripherals like thermal cameras, cameras, and live video sources to emulate real-world conditions.
AI Model Integration: Customers could easily test their ICs with various AI models, including those for image classification, object detection, and other vision AI tasks.
Scenario Emulation: LiveBench allowed customers to emulate different scenarios, such as single vs. multi-camera input and varying environmental conditions, to assess IC performance under practical conditions.
