Toshiba Selects Cadence Tensilica Vision P6 DSP as Image Recognition Processor for Its Next-Generation ADAS Chip

Tensilica Vision P6 DSP Increases Performance and Power Efficiency Compared to Cpus for Vision and AI Applications

Cadence Design Systems, Inc. announced that Toshiba has implemented the Cadence Tensilica Vision P6 DSPs for its next-generation automotive SoC to meet functional safety requirements. The Vision P6 DSP provides high compute throughput with low power consumption, small core area and a strong partner ecosystem, and is certified to meet functional safety requirements, making it the ideal choice for automotive applications. Offering up to 3.8X more power efficiency than CPUs alone and 1024 giga-operations (GOPS) of processing power, the Vision P6 DSP serves as a powerful offload engine, efficiently processing vision and AI workloads to meet the demands for accurate detection and identification of objects.
