Micron, Continental Collaborate to Accelerate Machine Learning

Micron Technology (NASDAQ:MU) and Continental have entered into a collaboration agreement to explore and adapt Micron’s deep learning accelerator for next-generation machine learning automotive applications.

As quoted in the press release:

This agreement brings together two world leaders in the automotive and memory markets to advance machine learning to meet the extreme memory requirements of modern vehicles.

Automobile infotainment, communications, advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) and powertrain control systems are becoming increasingly sophisticated. Continental and Micron will work together to develop an application-specific version of Micron’s deep learning accelerator (DLA) technology designed to be flexible and scalable while delivering the low power and high performance needed to support industry-standard programming models.
