Intel’s USB stick for developing deep neural networks

“As well as for use by data scientists and academics, the device is ideal for developers and engineers looking at integrating computer-vision and artificial intelligence capabilities into their IoT,” according to RS.

Like the earlier Movidius Neural Compute Stick, NCS 2 is based on the Intel’s Movidius vision processing unit  – but this time the latest Movidius Myriad X, which has a dedicated hardware accelerator for deep neural network (DNN) inference.

NCS 2 is a prototyping and development tool when combined with the Intel’s distribution of OpenVINO toolkit, which offers support for deep learning, computer vision and hardware acceleration towards “human-like vision capabilities”, according to RS. “The combination of NCS 2 and OpenVINO toolkit enables development from prototyping trained DNNs on the compute stick to porting DNNs to an Movidius-based embedded device or system with minimal code changes.”


The stick also supports Caffe and TensorFlow software libraries.
