Gao Peng, Director of SOPHGO’s Department of Product: Deep learning Application Changing from Luxuries to Necessities

On December 27, 2021, the 16th China Security Forum Technical Forum co-sponsored by Shenzhen SPIA and CPSE and hosted by CPS was successfully held on the 6th floor of Shenzhen Convention and Exhibition Center. Gao Peng, director of SOPHGO’s Department of Product, delivered a keynote speech on “Deep learning Application Changing from Luxuries to Necessities - the Price of Each Channel CV Intelligent Analysis Decreasing by 20% Year on Year".

Gao Peng introduced the world’s leading hardware platform products such as TPU module SM5, TPU card SC5, micro server SE5 and server SG6 based on the self-developed Deep learning processor BM1684, as well as the advantages of the upcoming BM1686 and OKNN SDK. Gao Peng pointed out that the continuous improvement of value created by Deep learning applications for users and the continuous decline of Deep learning application prices will change Deep learning applications from luxuries to necessities.

SOPHGO Provides Cost-effective Computing Power to Change Deep learning from luxuries to necessities

Gao Peng pointed out that the annual shipment of cameras in China’s security market has maintained an annual growth rate of 18% and is about to exceed 200 million channels. Each channel of cameras needs to build real-time video intelligent analysis capability on the edge or cloud to give full play to its value. The present pain point of the industry is that the user value brought by Deep learning applications is becoming increasingly prominent, but the high price of each channel hinders the landing of real-time video analysis of the whole network.

With the vision of “Intelligent Computing Empowers the Digital World”, SOPHGO will further provide application-driven computing processors and products with high coefficient of performance and energy efficiency ratio. The company will help to promote the 20% annual decline in hardware price of each channel in China’s security video analysis market and realize the transformation of Deep learning applications from luxuries to necessities.
