Any TS-664 with Hailo-8 HM218B1C2LAE Application Examples?

[JC1]

I have seen this AI Accelerator in the compatibility list for TS-664; however I was not able to find any more information about this application, does anyone try this Hailo AI accelerator (26TOPS) and compared to Coral Accelerator (4 TOPS)?

Hailo-8 M.2 AI acceleration module for TS-673A ???

Since the QNAP posted support of a Hailo-8 M.2 AI acceleration module for QNAP NAS’s. QuMagie settings shows support for this in my TS-673A, however the compatibilty page only shows: |Coral|G950-06809-01 (G950-06809-01-QNAP)|Type-C|USB 3.2 Gen 1| |Coral|G650-04686-01 (G650-04686-01-QNAP)|M.2 B+M key (M.2-2280-B-M-S3)| Sources: Users can simply add a Hailo-8 M.2 AI acceleration module to a QNAP surveillance server for boosted AI recognition performance - fulfilling highly-efficient, large-…

As I know only AI core (for QuMagie) and QVR Face/Human can utilize this module.

Personally I will consider the CPU of 664 is not powerful enough to fully feed the Hailo module for AI detection features. But from my rough experience it can run 4-5 face recognization tasks on QVR Face. While Coral can only adds about 2-3.

While on high-level, for example i7 NAS, it may run 30 tasks for face recognization by co-working with a powerful CPU.

Imo on Celeron platform a Coral TPU might be sufficient.

Thank you for the information. This is exactly what I was looking for! I couldn’t find a comparison between these two AI accelerators anywhere else. For the TS-664, I think I’ll go with Coral, unless I decide to pay more than double for the Hailo-8.
