Hailo-8 Century High Performance PCIe Card

The Hailo-8 Century-0802S PCIe AI Acceleration Card, part number HCN0802I1HS, is designed to bring high-capacity neural network inference to an edge computer. It delivers 52 TOPS of peak INT8 performance and connects to a compatible host through a PCIe Gen 3 x8 interface.

This card is relevant to systems that need to analyse several video feeds or run more than one AI model within an application pipeline. Potential uses include object detection, intelligent surveillance, traffic monitoring, and industrial visual inspection. Processing inference close to the cameras can support timely responses and reduce the need to send every video stream to a remote server. The number of streams and frame rate an application achieves will depend on its models, video resolution, host hardware, and software pipeline.

The Century-0802S has a single-slot, low-profile form factor. Before integration, check that the host has an appropriate PCIe slot, enough physical clearance, suitable cooling, and a supported software configuration. Hailo lists x86 and Arm aarch64 host architectures in the card’s user guide.

Developers can use Hailo’s software tools to prepare supported neural network models for inference and run them on the card. This makes HCN0802I1HS a choice for teams building or expanding an edge AI video analytics system that needs more inference capacity than its host processor alone provides.
