Does NCS support only matrix multiplication like CUDA(GPGPU), not neural network?

For example, matrix A and B are 100*100 dimension.

 

C = A * B

 

Does NCS suport this matrix multiplicaion?

 

I know we can use tensforflow to implement it, if A is input and B is weights matrix. I just want to do numerical calculation, not neural network. CUDA(GPGPU) support this function. Does NCS support it.

Could your support person contact me? I work in National University of Singapore. I plan to use NCS to do visual SLAM. my email : elescho@nus.edu.sg

Hi @SamShen

 

Thank you for your interest in the Intel Neural Compute Stick (NCS). The NCS does not support a pure math application since it was designed specifically for deploying neural networks.

 

Hope this answers your question.

@Jesus_at_Intel I appreciate your answer. I know the workaround to use neural network to implement pure math application. I've bought NCS2 and I have tried it and prove it can do. However it's complicated and the function is limited.

 

Can I ask further question: "Myria Development Kit & Board" can do traditional computer vision. Where I can buy it?

Hi @SamShen

 

The Myriad Development Kit is meant for customer purchases in large volume. Please visit the Movidius Contact site for non-NCS related inquiries.

Got it. I see. I've to look for other solution.

 

Thanks a lot.
