SiMa.ai Surpasses the Industry ML Leader Again in the MLPerf™ Closed Edge ResNet50 Benchmark

SiMa.ai, the machine learning company delivering solutions for the embedded edge, announced the results of its second MLPerf submission, outperforming industry ML leader NVIDIA’s Orin NX and AGX Orin in the Closed Edge power category in the MLCommons® ML Perf 3.1 benchmark. SiMa.ai participated in the MLPerf™ Inference 3.1 closed, edge, power division of this benchmarking process, focusing on the image classification benchmark ResNet50. Since the company’s prior submission in April 2023, SiMa.ai achieved a 20 percent improvement in its results for Single Stream ResNet50 for performance and power, while exhibiting up to 85 percent greater ResNet50 MultiStream efficiency compared to NVIDIA. With frames per second per watt as the de facto performance standard for edge AI and ML, these results demonstrate SiMa.ai’s pushbutton approach drives continued leadership in unrivaled power efficiency that does not compromise performance.

“Outperforming the industry leader not only once, but again for a second time is great validation for our technology. Our team at SiMa.ai will persistently pursue performance per watt leadership and new standards in ease of use for the embedded edge market as part of our core DNA,” said Krishna Rangasayee, CEO and founder, SiMa.ai. “We are proud of the SiMa.ai team’s leadership in the latest MLPerf benchmark and excited to extend these latest improvements to our customers’ real-world needs and use cases.”
