China Telecom Research Institute Releases First RISC-V Video Transcoding Card TeleVPU
According to TapTechNews on May 30th, on May 25th at the 2024 Intelligent Computing Cloud Ecosystem Conference - Intelligent Computing Cloud Forum, the China Telecom Research Institute released the first RISC-V video transcoding card TeleVPU in the industry.
It is introduced that the VPU is a video computing accelerator that supports hardware-based encoding and decoding, image stitching, and post-processing acceleration functions. The RISC-V video transcoding card TeleVPU released this time is based on the prototype of the Ye Ying 1520 chip. The official said that it has the characteristics of low cost, high concurrency, and high computing power, and the cost is reduced by 20% compared to the Arm solution.
TeleVPU clusters multiple prototypes of the Ye Ying 1520 chip through a single card, and supports 40 channels of 1080p/25fps parallel encoding; through the heterogeneous software-hardware collaboration of the Ye Ying 1520, the power consumption of a single-channel 1080P video transcoding is 1.5 watts.
The prototype of the Ye Ying 1520 chip also provides 20 TAI computing power per card for TeleVPU and supports mainstream programming frameworks, which can be applied to centralized storage, video conferences, webcasts, and other network video scenarios that have extremely high requirements for bandwidth compression and transcoding computing costs.
TapTechNews learned through inquiries that the Ye Ying 1520 is the first mass-produced multi-modal AI processor chip prototype developed based on the Wu Jian 600 chip design platform, equipped with the Xiantie C910 processor with a main frequency of 1.85G.
