Description

The Coral USB Accelerator adds an Edge TPU coprocessor to

your system. It includes a USB-C socket you can connect to a

host computer to perform accelerated ML inferencing.

The on-board Edge TPU is a small ASIC designed by Google that accelerates TensorFlow Lite models in a power efficient

manner: it's capable of performing 4 trillion operations per second (4 TOPS), using 2 watts of power—that's 2 TOPS per

watt. For example, one Edge TPU can execute state-of-the-art mobile vision models such as MobileNet v2 at almost 400

frames per second. This on-device ML processing reduces latency, increases data privacy, and removes the need for a

constant internet connection.
