Quadric focuses on simplifying the design and programming of System on Chips (SoCs) for machine learning applications with its Chimera General-Purpose Neural Processing Unit (GPNPU). This GPNPU integrates matrix and vector operations with scalar control code in one execution pipeline, allowing developers to streamline their code without needing to partition it across different processors. Quadric serves clients in the semiconductor industry by providing both hardware and software solutions, including the Chimera LLVM C Compiler and Instruction Set Simulator. The company's goal is to enhance the performance and ease of development for machine learning applications in SoC design.
