RUNTIME-PROGRAMMABLE NEAR-SENSOR PROCESSOR

Compute closer to where data begins.

At RiDM, we develop DODA, a programmable dataflow architecture designed to process sensing data closer to its source before it becomes a system-level data movement problem.

WHY IT MATTERSIllustrative data path

Moving raw data is expensive. There is more of it every year.

Every sensor produces a raw stream, and every stream is hauled to a processor before anything useful happens to it. In sensor-dense systems that movement, not the computation, is becoming the bottleneck — and sensor counts are still climbing.

SENSORSMASSIVE RAW DATA MOVEMENTPROCESSORSCPU · NPU · GPU
10–15sensors in a phone
60–100in a car
2,000–25,000in an aircraft

Every one of those numbers is still rising, and each sensor adds a stream.

SYSTEM FLOWIllustrative data path

Pre-processing is where sensing systems stall: every raw stream is written to shared memory, worked on by the CPU and written back before an accelerator ever sees it. RiDM’s proprietary DODA architecture does that work beside the sensors, so only fused, reduced data crosses the system.
