SUNNYVALE, Calif., January 17, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — GSI Technology, Inc. (Nasdaq: GSIT), the inventor of the associative processing unit (APU), a paradigm shift in artificial intelligence (AI) and cutting-edge technologies. Performance Computing Processing (HPC) providing true in-memory computing technology, announced today that it has been selected by the U.S. Army for a potential contract worth up to $250,000 under the DoD Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program. . The contract represents a significant opportunity for GSI to develop advanced, military-specific AI solutions using its revolutionary Gemini-II technology.
The project will focus on two critical objectives that showcase the potential of GSI’s innovative architecture. First, GSI will determine the feasibility of integrating Gemini-II with AI models specifically tailored to the Army’s advanced computing needs. This will involve a comprehensive assessment of operational challenges, optimization with the Gemini-II architecture and establishment of key performance metrics through detailed customer discovery and technical specifications for edge AI development.
The second objective focuses on identifying and validating the AI algorithms best suited to the Gemini-II platform. GSI will conduct extensive research to select effective edge AI models, develop a detailed integration plan, and evaluate performance metrics for low-latency, high-value throughput applications in military environments.
“This contract with the U.S. Army represents a significant opportunity for GSI Technology to demonstrate the transformative potential of our in-memory computing architecture for military applications,” said Lee-Lean Shu, CEO of GSI Technology. “Our Gemini-II platform provides substantial processing capabilities that can significantly improve the Army’s operational effectiveness and situational awareness. »
The Gemini-II is a second-generation APU technology based on the GSI in-memory computing architecture that processes data directly in memory structures, addressing the critical challenges of advanced computing. By performing data processing directly in memory, the technology significantly reduces power consumption and transfer latency while increasing overall processing capacity. The platform features two million-bit processors per chip, enabling parallel processing and real-time data management in demanding operational scenarios.
Of particular note is the project’s focus on developing 1-bit extended language models (LLMs) for the U.S. military, which maintain high accuracy while providing exceptionally low power consumption and minimal latency . This innovation not only promises to benefit warfighters, but also presents exciting application opportunities in several dual-use markets, including complex computer vision recognition, autonomous vehicle navigation, and mobile data computing.
“The SBIR contract underscores GSI Technology’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of edge computing and AI technologies,” added Shu. “Addressing the U.S. military’s need for robust AI capabilities that improve situational awareness and decision-making, GSI is positioning itself at the forefront of technological innovation across defense sectors and commercial IT. »
