INTEL NEURAL COMPUTE STICK 2

Intel® Neural Compute Stick 2 is powered by the Intel™ Movidius™ X VPU to deliver industry leading performance, wattage, and power. The NEURAL COMPUTE supports OpenVINO™, a toolkit that accelerates solution development and streamlines deployment. The Neural Compute Stick 2 offers plug-and-play simplicity, support for common frameworks and out-of-the-box sample applications. Use any platform with a USB port to prototype and operate without cloud compute dependence. The Intel NCS 2 delivers 4 trillion operations per second with 8X performance boost over previous generations.
