Semiconductors Supply Chain distribution Graph GSP Processor streamingFirms to serve demanding markets with AI, computer vision and video processing applications
J-Squared Technologies Inc., a leading provider of ruggedized computing hardware solutions, has entered into a strategic partnership with Blaize, enabling the distribution of the firm’s Graph Streaming Processor (GSP) architecture hardware and software technologies.
“In many industries, SWaP-C (size, weight and power – cost) has become a critical – if not top – priority. Our mission is to educate ourselves on technologies that can meet these demanding requirements and provide exceptional performance. Blaize’s products check these boxes,” said Jeff Gibson, CEO and founder of J-Squared. “Their GSP architecture makes it possible to deliver AI solutions at the edge efficiently and cost-effectively. With our worldwide distribution capability, this partnership enables both Blaize and J-Squared to address a growing market need.”
