Empowering Users to Innovate

Open source and community-driven software development is becoming increasingly important to the wireless industry. The world is becoming more and more connected, from intelligent homes to autonomous vehicles and smart cities. Open source software is helping spur the creativity and innovation that will allow these devices to better support their users and provide even greater value. In recognition of this market dynamic, Qualcomm formed the the Qualcomm Innovation Center (QuIC).

What is QuIC?

Qualcomm Innovation Center is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., focused on enabling and optimizing open-source software for use with Qualcomm technology.

The company is focused on technical innovations to mobile open-source software that leverages the unique capabilities of today's mobile devices, with a particular eye on optimizing platforms and applications which run on them via tight hardware integration.

Projects

AI Model Efficiency Toolkit

Qualcomm Innovation Center (QuIC) is at the forefront of enabling low-power inference at the edge through its pioneering model-efficiency research. QuIC has a mission to help migrate the ecosystem toward fixed-point inference. With this goal, QuIC presents the AI Model Efficiency Toolkit (AIMET) - a library that provides advanced quantization and compression techniques for trained neural network models. AIMET enables neural networks to run more efficiently on fixed-point AI hardware accelerators.

About Repo

Gunyah Hypervisor

Gunyah is a Type-1 hypervisor designed for strong security, performance and modularity. Independent of any high-level OS kernel, Gunyah runs in a higher CPU privilege level, and does not depend on any lower-privileged OS kernel/code for its core functionality. This increases its security and can support a much smaller trusted computing base than a Type-2 hypervisor.
