XMOS
XMOS is a fabless semiconductor company based in Bristol, UK, that designs the XCORE family of multicore, deterministic processors for embedded voice, audio, AI and control at the edge. Founded in 2005 by a team rooted in the University of Bristol and Inmos transputer heritage, XMOS built its name on far-field voice processing (VocalFusion, the first far-field solution qualified for Amazon Alexa) and now positions XCORE as a 'Generative System-on-Chip' (GenSoC) - silicon whose behaviour can be described in natural language while guaranteeing real-time, deterministic performance.
