Google Coral: Is there a limit to model size?

1.4k Views Asked by At

I was looking to use a relatively large model (~300 MB Tflite) but I'm concerned it may not be supported by Google Coral due to its size. That's where my questions come from.

  • How exactly does it work? Is the model loaded into the Coral itself? Or does Google Coral act like a coprocessor where the CPU hands it tasks and it provides results?
  • If it is indeed loaded, how large of a model/data can it support?

Most of the info I read implies that it can't handle much since they talk about YOLOv4-Tiny and mobilenet-ssd for example. However, this answer makes it seem like there is no size limit for Google Coral.

I did read that a Google Coral has 8MB of SRAM, but it's used as a cache it seems.
