Overview
The Axelera Edge 130p is a single-slot half-height half-length PCIe card built around one Metis AI Processing Unit. It delivers 214 TOPS of INT8 inference - the highest performance AI accelerator class in Axelera's edge line - while running from a PCIe Gen3 x4 host link that consumes only 4 GB/s of bidirectional bandwidth, which lets it slot into modest edge servers and industrial systems rather than requiring a full GPU host.
The card is rated for -20 C to +70 C operation, making it suitable for industrial and outdoor-adjacent deployments where a data-centre GPU would need environmental protection. Software integration is through the Axelera Voyager SDK, with quantization tooling intended to preserve prediction accuracy. A single board can run inference for dozens of cameras and host multiple parallel neural networks.
Key Benefits
High density per slot. 214 TOPS from one Metis AIPU in a half-height half-length single slot. Industrial temperature range. -20 C to +70 C operation suits embedded and industrial edge enclosures. Light host link. PCIe Gen3 x4 (4 GB/s bidirectional) keeps host requirements low. Faster deployment. Voyager SDK, out-of-the-box pipelines and published datasheets and reference designs shorten integration.
Applications
Edge computer vision, smart city and traffic analytics, industrial inspection, retail analytics, multi-camera video inference, and ruggedised edge servers.
