Fathom Neural Compute Stick Enables Mobile Devices to React Cognitively

Intel-owned Movidius has introduced a fascinating new device called the Fathom Neural Compute Stick, a modular deep learning accelerator in the form of a standard USB stick. “The Fathom Neural Compute Stick is the first of its kind: A powerful, yet surprisingly efficient Deep Learning processor embedded into a standard USB stick. The Fathom Neural Compute Stick acts as a discrete neural compute accelerator, allowing devices with a USB port run neural networks at high speed, while sipping under a single Watt of power.”
