The Movidius Neural Compute Stick is a miniature deep learning hardware development platform that you can use to prototype, tune, and validate, your AI programs, specifically Deep Neural Networks. The Movidius Neural Compute Stick is a USB device that allows you to run Deep Learning models on the edge, without requiring an internet connection or a powerful GPU. It is powered by the Intel Movidius Myriad 2 Vision Processing Unit (VPU), which can perform over 100 gigaflops of computation within a 1W power envelope1. You can use it to prototype and deploy AI applications for various domains, such as Computer Vision, Natural Language Processing (NLP), Speech Recognition, and more. It features the same Movidius vision processing unit (VPU) used to bring machine intelligence to drones, surveillance cameras, and VR or AR headsets now, in a USB stick form factor. You can also use the Intel Movidius Neural Compute SDK (NCSDK) to program and optimize your models for the device.
