Nimble application framework with cross-platform support
With the release of Megh VAS 100 comes a new addition to the Megh Computing solution stack: the Nimble application framework. Nimble is a fast and lightweight service-based framework for implementing CPU, GPU, and FPGA video analytics pipelines. As illustrated below, Nimble sits on top of Arka, Sira, and Deep Learning Engine (DLE), enabling seamless
Data streaming with Arka runtime APIs
The Arka runtime is Megh’s data streaming framework. Arka enables applications to build custom data pipelines spanning multiple devices and accelerators. Low-level details are abstracted away by Arka’s resource manager, which maps an application’s pipeline request to the pool of available hardware. This technology enables low-latency, low-overhead data streaming over complex functional topologies through Arka’s
Megh’s Deep Learning Engine usages
Video analytics use cases Enterprise users are increasingly interested in implementing complex video analytics use cases that provide business value beyond typical applications. These involve multi-stage models for object detection and image classification with custom trained models that are integrated to solve business problems. Some examples include: Segment Use case Deep learning tasks Retail Cashier-less
Implementing a CPU+FPGA-based real-time video analytics pipeline
This post is a follow-up to “Implementing a CPU-based real-time video analytics pipeline,” where we discussed a CPU-based end-to-end video analytics pipeline. As seen in that post, a CPU-based pipeline runs into severe performance bottlenecks. Here we discuss how we address and overcome these bottlenecks using FPGAs as hardware accelerators. We explain Megh’s Video Analytics
