What about the Coral? I been running frigate with mine for 2 years.

What's the deal with memory? Does it use the system RAM? I've been considering a cluster for local inference.

  • The data has to go across PCI / USB to get to the internal (tiny) SRAM. It's not a good choice for clustering, you should just use a GPU for that.

  • Dont know, sorry. But the performance is not that awesome, but works well enough for my setup doing realtime object detection with a few cameras.

    My main reason for getting one was power efficency compared to a traditional GPU for this task.

    • I have a Coral M.2 and an Intel Xe iGPU on the same machine. Both passthrough to VM, Proxmox, iGPU with SR-IOV. On Proxmox I can see power usage of one camera for SR-IOV device utilizing intel_gpu_top: less than 0.1W.
