MulticoreWare, Inc., a global leader in software performance optimisation and artificial intelligence (AI) solutions, announced its intended collaboration with Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. to serve as an AI Software Authorized Design Centre (ADC).

The planned cooperation aims to position MulticoreWare as a key enabler for automakers and enterprises to scale AI workloads from proof-of-concept to mass-scale production on Qualcomm Technologies' Snapdragon Digital Chassis solutions. As an ADC, MulticoreWare will help bridge the gap between state-of-the-art research & development AI models and scalable commercial embedded solutions. Together, the companies will solve last-mile AI deployment challenges – such as model porting, model quantisation, and heterogeneous compute optimisation – to ensure that high-demand workloads perform reliably within the strict power and thermal constraints of edge devices.

MulticoreWare works with leading automakers to deliver production-grade Driver Monitoring Systems (DMS) and Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) on the Snapdragon Digital Chassis. Additionally, MulticoreWare optimises Generative AI workloads, including LLMs and Vision Transformer models, for efficient on-device performance.

"We look forward to joining the Qualcomm Authorised Design Centre Program, a move that formalises our long-standing history of driving optimal compute performance on Snapdragon Digital Chassis platforms," said Vish Rajalingam, VP and GM, Mobility and Transportation BU at MulticoreWare. "By combining Qualcomm Technologies' industry-leading AI stack with our specialised capabilities in model porting and performance tuning, we can help empower our customers to scale their next-generation intelligent devices, while accelerating time-to-market more efficiently than ever before."

"Realising the full potential of on-device AI requires engineering partners who deeply understand how to optimise performance per watt," said Laxmi Rayapudi, VP and GM, Software, Automotive & Industrial and Embedded IoT, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. "We look forward to welcoming MulticoreWare as an Authorised Design Centre. Their expertise in algorithmic optimisation and model porting will help our mutual customers efficiently produce and scale AI solutions on Snapdragon Digital Chassis solutions."
