In line with the growing AI trend in the market, Qualcomm introduced what's known as the neural processing engine. This is essentially a software development kit (SDK) designed to assist developers in optimizing their applications to work efficiently on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 600 and 800 series processors. If you're developing apps that utilize AI—like image recognition—you can incorporate Qualcomm’s SDK to ensure smoother performance on smartphones equipped with compatible processors.
Qualcomm first unveiled the neural processing engine as part of the Zeroth platform roughly a year ago. Since then, beginning last September, they’ve been collaborating with various partners to refine the SDK. Today, they've made it publicly available for anyone to access and utilize.
The company mentioned that one of the early adopters of their SDK is Facebook. Currently, Facebook is leveraging it to enhance the speed of real-world filters within their mobile apps. According to Qualcomm, thanks to the neural processing engine, these filters now operate at five times the speed compared to traditional CPU implementations.
For Qualcomm, the logical progression following the software-based neural processing engine is moving towards hardware. This involves introducing a dedicated AI mobile chip. While the exact timeline for releasing this chip remains unclear, there’s no doubt it will eventually arrive.
