Efficient E1 Processor

Efficient’s E1© is the world’s most energy-efficient, general-purpose system-on-chip. E1 enables the nextgeneration of battery-powered devices, achieving ASIC-like efficiency with up to 100x better energy efficiencyvs. competition. The E1 achieves this without software modification, a familiar programming interface, andsupport for a wide variety of applications (e.g., neural networks, digital signal processing, sparse algorithms,graph analytics, compression, and cryptography).

E1's best-in-class efficiency enables unprecedented capabilities on-device, e.g., sophisticated, localinterpretation of sensed data to avoid expensive off-device communication. Moreover, E1’s general-purposesupport means that the entire application benefits, unlike an accelerator which targets a portion of theapplication.

The key to the E1's efficiency is Efficient’s proprietary Fabric processor. The Fabric is a general-purpose,ultra-low-power (100s of uW) and ultra-efficient (1 TOPS/W) dataflow processor with a standard softwaredevelopment flow. Efficient offers a complete compiler stack that is a drop-in replacement for existing compilertoolchains (e.g., GCC/Clang) with support for high-level languages (e.g. C/C++) and frameworks (e.g., TFLite).
