Intel Movidius Neural Compute Stick 2

Intel Neural Compute Stick 2 is powered by the Intel Movidius X VPU to deliver industry-leading performance, wattage, and power. The NEURAL COMPUTE supports OpenVINO, a toolkit that accelerates solution development and streamlines deployment. The Neural Compute Stick 2 offers plug-and-play simplicity, support for common frameworks and out-of-the-box sample applications. Use any platform with a USB port to prototype and operate without cloud compute dependence. The Intel NCS 2 delivers 4 trillion operations per second with an 8X performance boost compared to previous generations.

Discover efficiencies:

• Exceptional performance per watt takes machine vision to new places.
• Run “at the edge” without reliance on a cloud computing connection.
• Deep learning prototyping is now available on a laptop, a single board computer or any platform with a USB port.
• Accessible and affordable — take advantage of more performance per watt and highly efficient fanless design.
• Combine the hardware-optimized performance of the Intel® Movidius™ Myriad™ X VPU and the Intel® Distribution of OpenVINO” Toolkit to accelerate deep neural network-based applications.
• First in its class to feature the Neural Compute Engine — a dedicated hardware accelerator.
• 16 powerful processing cores, called SHAVE cores, and an ultrahigh-throughput intelligent memory fabric together make the Intel Movidius Myriad X VPU the industry leader for on-device deep neural networks and computer vision applications.
• Featuring an entirely new deep neural network (DNN) inferencing engine on the chip.

Simpler versatility for prototyping :

• Intel Distribution of OpenVINO toolkit streamlines the development experience.
• Prototype on the Intel Neural Compute Stick 2 and then deploy your deep neural network onto an Intel Movidius Myriad X VPU-based embedded device.
• Streamline the path to a working prototype.
• Extend workloads across Intel hardware and maximize performance.
• The robust, Intel Distribution of OpenVINO toolkit enables simpler porting and deployment of applications and solutions that emulate human vision.
• The Intel Distribution of OpenVINO toolkit streamlines the development of multiplatform computer vision solutions — increasing deep learning performance.
• It’s now easier to develop applications for heterogeneous execution across the suite of Intel acceleration technologies. Develop once and deploy across Intel CPU, VPU, Integrated Graphics or FPGA.
• If desired, users can implement their own custom layers and execute those on the CPU while the rest of the model runs on the VPU.

Package Includes:

• 1 x Intel Movidious Neural Compute Stick 2.
