The Coral M.2 Accelerator is an M.2 module B+M key that brings the Edge TPU ML accelerator to existing
systems and products.
The 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.
The M.2B+M key form-factor allows you to add local ML acceleration to products such as embedded platforms, mini-PCs, and
industrial gateways that have a compatible M.2 card slot.
