BRN Discussion Ongoing

[IloveLamp]

This is two weeks old, but I don't recall having seen this posted here.

The g mac intelligence CEO, posted about us a couple of weeks ago,

This guy is very well connected at Qualcomm............. If Qualcomm have developed their own equivalent technology, or close to it,......... Why would they partner with brain chip instead?

He would be privy to most recent tech advancements that Qualcomm and the industry have to currently offer given the connections he has.

Why Amite Mate?? Why choose Brainchip over Qualcomm?

I know why. Do you?

"Excited to partner with Brainchip, a renowned leader in edge AI computing "

GMAC Intelligence Goes Big with BrainChip Partnership

Very cool name btw i have to say I'm a little jealous. Imagine living in aus with that name.....

"What's your name mate?"

Amit - "Amit Mate"

"Nice to meet you Amit, what's your last name?"

Amit - "Oh Ffs here we go again "

Hi all,

Just a few views/thoughts.

You may have noticed when posters post job adverts, the number of applicants early within hours is pretty high given the specialized
field we work in, I see that as very promising.

The Quarterly Investors Podcast (QIP) is due within the next 2 weeks, it could well be revealing as we drive towards the release date
of AKD 2.0 within 40 business days.

Some great posts coming through, thanks for your time and effort.

A bit of revision (March 12th 2023) on Sunday morning is always refreshing. Perhaps this is where some of that customer revenue came from?

“In order to serve the diverse and growing IoT market, developers require a new standard of secure, high-performance microcontrollers, combined with endpoint ML capabilities,” said Paul Williamson, SVP and GM, IoT Line of Business at Arm. “The integration of Arm’s highest performance microcontroller with the Akida portfolio enables our partners to deliver on this potential and efficiently handle advanced machine learning workloads.”

The integration of Akida and the Arm Cortex-M85 processor is an important step forward for BrainChip, demonstrating the company’s commitment to developing cutting-edge AI solutions that deliver exceptional performance and efficiency.

“We are delighted Akida can now seamlessly integrate with the Arm Cortex-M85 processor, which is one of the most advanced and efficient MCU platforms available for intelligent IoT,” said Nandan Nayampally, CMO of BrainChip. “This is a significant milestone for BrainChip, as it drives new possibilities for high-performance, low-power AI processing at the edge. We are excited to offer our mutual customers the benefits of this powerful combination of technologies.”

Good article outlining the fierce competition leading up to ARM's IPO.
Tenstorrent and SiFive mentioned.
We appear to be well connected.

From an article by Sally Ward-Foxton April 2022

“It’s advantageous for BrainChip to align with industry leaders to make sure their customers have a seamless integration experience, so BrainChip can deliver the requisite software that runs on the host processor and makes it easier for the end user to integrate their products and ours,” he said.

Jones described work done so far as the “tip of the iceberg,” adding that the two companies have so far demonstrated compatibility of BrainChip’s IP with SiFive’s RISC–V architecture. The companies will work together on an ongoing basis to further integrate software and hardware IP.

“We have ambitious plans going forward,” Jones said. “SiFive has made great strides in the last year or so, bringing vector processing to market now that [vector processing] has found its niche in AI and image signal processing.”

Part of SiFive’s plan is to build an ecosystem of AI accelerator IP providers whose products are compatible with its host processor IP.

“Our relationship with BrainChip is in no way exclusive,” Jones said. “BrainChip is the first partner we’ve gone public with, but we’re talking to many other players in this space.”

While BrainChip is the company’s first hardware IP partner, SiFive has design wins for its host processor IP, including data center AI accelerator company Tenstorrent.

“Certainly, we’re open to exploring partnerships with people who have novel technology,” he said. “Companies that are bringing IP or chips to market can’t ignore RISC–V as a platform just because of the market share we’re taking.”

Thanks for reminding everyone about SiFive- the significance of being their first hardware IP partner… the preeminent RISCV hardware design shop (which will be a major industry standard along with arm) who work with tenstorrent, whose CEO is the semiconductor industry guru, and COO also just happens to join us for our podcast… the IP licenses will come when the products are developed, my view is the share market doesn’t appreciate the timelines nor do most investors have the patience or stomach for the volatility- my hope is it will seem obvious in retrospect.

Is it just coincidence that Infineon are looking to research digital neuromorphic technology on risc-v architecture after this weeks announcement of them joining a risc-v consortium with NXP, Qualcomm, etc….. I’d a love to be a fly on the wall at their meetings

I’d be interested in knowing if these are new positions or if they are replacing staff that have moved on.

 

[Fullmoonfever]

Was having a look again at Cote D'Azur projects to see if any updates show up.

Nothing much.

I also wonder if the telecommunications references could related to LEAT?

Found a thesis paper dated Dec 22 by an employee at Renault Software who has now moved to another company April this year.

I think his wording around a BRN 2021 video is supposed to be "presented" though haha.

Some of the jury members were interesting.

Paper HERE

Anyway, one of his tables was a nice reminder.

Brainchip’s links to Tenstorrent through our partner SiFive. As mentioned they will license the X280 processor.

And don't forget SAMSUNG and HYUNDAI have just given $100M to Tenstorrent to fast track there AI chips.

Hi Benny,

Jim Keller needs "that spike thingy" urgently:

https://docs.tenstorrent.com/tenstorrent/tenstorrent-pcie-cards/getting-started/minimum-requirements

System Power Supply Budget the appropriate power per card when choosing the power supply. An additional 75, 150, or 300 watts should be budgeted for each e75, e150, or e300 card.

Internet Connection Internet access is needed for driver and stack installation.

Just another recent comparison table from a July 23 paper.

Something that was interesting and wrong if I understand correctly, is they list Akida as analog?

Either way, we're still better haha

I actually think the biggest hurdle for us at the mo is industry understanding the process given it's essentially black box tech and also having the best hardware to implement.

Yeah I noticed that too... definitely a mistake, definitely digital.

Also - under GSOPS/W... what kinda value is "Akida".

 

[Humble Genius]

I went to the Latrobe Uni open day today with my son. He is looking at studying Computer Science or Cybersecurity when he finishes VCE, We went on a tour of the computer science school and there were lecturers that spoke about each of the topics. One of the talks was by their lead in Artificial Intelligence and he spoke of two technologies they have developed. One relates to AI used to analyse the swimming performance of our olympic/national swimming team, and the other related to AI used to analyse all the pixels in an image of a slice through a cancerous tumour and determining the most suitable course of treatment. The lecturer mentioned that most of the AI taught relates to the visual modality and language models. When he finished he asked the audience if they had any questions. I put my hand up and made mention of this company from Perth that had an AI solution that covered all 5 modalities as well as radar, Lidar, etc. After I finished talking, he said he had never heard of Brainchip or AKIDA, and wasn't aware of any technology that covered the other modalities.

I find this strange, but perhaps an opportunity for the company to get in with some of the Australian Universities, not just the ones in the US of A.

So, Tony, or any of the other Brainchip employees are reading this, perhaps it should be something worth exploring.
