Summary
For over a decade, CPU and GPU design companies have been using Synopsys VC Formal Datapath Validation (DPV) app with its HECTOR™ technology to verify their data processing elements because traditional verification methods cannot exhaustively verify the correctness of mathematical computations in these designs. Like CPUs and GPUs, AI processors are also datapath heavy with mathematical functions like addition, subtraction, matrix multiplication, and square root in its compute engines, making these designs a good fit for formal datapath validation.
This webinar will introduce the Synopsys ARC® NPX Neural Processing Unit (NPU) IP family of embedded AI processors and use of Synopsys VC Formal DPV to verify its datapath functions. The Synopsys ARC NPX6 processor supports the latest and most complex neural networks, such as CNN, RNN, and transformers, targeted for AI SoCs that are widely used in automotive, data center, high end gaming, next generation augmented reality, and surveillance. At the heart of the NPX6 neural network processor are convolution and tensor accelerators that are optimized to perform light speed computations. Correctness of these functional units are key to correct facial, audio, image processing and recognition which could have safety implications for automotive applications. We will explore Synopsys VC Formal DPV, the gold standard for datapath validation and signoff for the last 20 years, and how it is used to ensure correctness of the core algorithms of the ARC NPX6 processor’s compute engines.

The fool is at it again Mickleboro just can't be humble in his defeat.

"The jury is still out on whether Brainchip will ever successfully commercialise its technology". What a head

Why has the BrainChip share price rocketed 17% in 4 days?

The Brainchip Holdings Ltd (ASX:BRN) share price has been a strong performer this week. Here's why its shares are booming...

Onwards and upwards Brainchip

MF

Difficult to argue with this paragraph

"But given this alliance, other recent agreements, management’s bullish rhetoric, and its lofty market capitalisation, the market will no doubt be expecting Brainchip to start delivering some very big sales in 2023."

And it provides BRN.AX some exposure to generate investor interest.
OK admittedly trying to put some lipstick on the pig.

 

[FJ-215]

Hmmmm… I think it’s a given that revenue is the kind of performance we are all expecting. Three years into commercialisation, and a year into his role of CEO - Sean and the board know what shareholders expect very well, and a few partnerships wouldn’t cut the mustard in my opinion.

That being said, I remain optimistic and excited to see what he is to be judged by. I think 2023 could be a fantastic year for this company.

Spot on.

Sean said as much himself when he said "Watch the financials"

Unfortunately for Micklepickle both the Prosecutor and the Counsel for the Defence objected when his name was called and so the Judge excluded him from jury duty stating thank you gentlemen had you not excluded him I would have as it is clear from his previously published statements he is entirely biased and his ability to independently weigh the evidence is on its face non existent.

As a result anything Mr. Micklepickle thinks is irrelevant and to be ignored.

The Judge further remarked that any true investigative financial journalist would have contacted Intel directly rather than rely upon plagiarising a Press Release from Brainchip and on its face doing absolutely no actual research.

The Judge further stated there is clearly no forensic value in this article as it is simply an unverifiable personal opinion piece riddled with pre-existing negative bias.

Yep, so if we have big sales in 2023 will Kockleboro back off and concede that he was wrong about BRN and that he and his MF mates missed out on a massive investment opportunity?

Lastly before I turn the meeting back over to Antonio, let me briefly recap.
It’s been nearly a half year of building a commercial engine that is just now starting to reveal its possibility.

Key priorities and initiatives include:
• Structuring Commercialization.
• Understanding our Market Ecosystem.
• Clarifying our Business Model.
• Ensuring Product-Market Fit.
• Focusing on Marketing.
• Expanding Sales.

Our work on the commercialization leg of the stool has made substantial progress but it is a journey of continuing improvement.

But when you couple this commercial engine with our differentiated IP product, delivering proven and an exponential improvement on anything else available, plus a market which is moving to the edge, I am highly confident that the commercial results will come in a steady and sustainable fashion.

Even with all this hard work on commercialization in the last 5 months, the company and myself should be judged not on effort, but results.

With that said, I look forward to standing before you next year to share all the progress and results from this next critical chapter of BrainChip’s commercialization.
Thank you.”
- END -

The above is exactly what the CEO Sean Hehir said and it most definitely is not saying that income in the 4C’s is the benchmark by which to judge the company and the CEO. It is far more than this it is about building a company that will be ubiquitous and at the forefront of technological advancement across the entire semiconductor industry.

It is about partnerships, ecosystems, employing super star employees and a technology North Star over in Perth creating science fiction as it advances towards Artificial General Intelligence.

The fact that Brainchip is an IP company means that it’s true financial wealth will be generated off the back of the Magic Pudding known as ROYALTIES being paid in perpetuity.

Royalties are paid on the product containing Brainchip IP being produced and sold in the retail market.

I have exampled how Prophesee and Sony have been engaged for three years and have only just announced that they are going into mass production.

If anyone is going to judge a company like Brainchip solely by income in a 4C then they would never have invested in companies like Tesla, Apple, Intel, Facebook or Google.

A little reminder of our news letter back in September 2020

"Long term holders of Brainchip shares will know that Vorago in the Phase 1 NASA application to harden AKD1000 described it as a CNNRNN processor." (FF)

BrainChip and VORAGO Technologies Agree to Collaborate through the Akida™ Early Access Program​

Agreement to Support Phase I of NASA Program for Radiation-Hardened Neuromorphic Processor

Aliso Viejo, California – September 2, 2020 – BrainChip Holdings Ltd (ASX: BRN), a leading provider of ultra-low power high performance AI technology, today announced that VORAGO Technologies has signed the Akida™ Early Access Program Agreement. The collaboration is intended to support a Phase I NASA program for a neuromorphic processor that meets spaceflight requirements. The BrainChip Early Access Program is available to a select group of customers that require early access to the Akida device, evaluation boards and dedicated support. The EAP agreement includes payments that are intended to offset the Company’s expenses to support partner needs.

The Akida neuromorphic processor is uniquely suited for spaceflight and aerospace applications. The device is a complete neural processor and does not require an external CPU, memory or Deep Learning Accelerator (DLA). Reducing component count, size and power consumption are paramount concerns in spaceflight and aerospace applications. The level of integration and ultra-low power performance of Akida supports these critical criteria. Additionally, Akida provides incremental learning. With incremental learning, new classifiers can be added to the network without retraining the entire network. The benefit in spaceflight and aerospace applications is significant as real-time local incremental learning allows continuous operation when new discoveries or circumstances occur.

VORAGO Technologies is a privately held, high technology company based in Austin, Texas with over 15 years of experience in providing radiation-hardened and extreme-temperature solutions for the Hi-reliability marketplace, and recognized as one of Inc 5000’s Fastest Growing Private Companies in America. VORAGO’s patented HARDSIL® technology uses cost-effective high-volume manufacturing to harden any commercially designed semiconductor component for extreme environment operation, and has created a number of solutions throughout Aerospace, Defense and Industrial applications. VORAGO Technologies opens up a new world of possibilities for customer designs, no matter how hostile the environment. www.voragotech.com

Louis DiNardo, BrainChip CEO commented, “We are both excited and proud to participate in this Phase I program with VORAGO Technologies and support NASA’s desire to leverage neuromorphic computing in spaceflight applications. The combination of benefits from the Akida neuromorphic processor and a radiation-hardened process brings significant new capabilities to spaceflight and aerospace applications”.

Bernd Lienhard, VORAGO CEO added, “We are thrilled and honored to partner with BrainChip to harness the radiation hardening capabilities of our patented HARDSIL® technology for the Phase I program with NASA. Our ongoing mission of creating components with increased availability and unmatched solutions in aerospace and defense applications paired with the Akida neuromorphic processor will create unprecedented standards moving forward in the industry.”

If you take Prophesee as an example it is unlikely that their royalties are being paid at point of production by Sony otherwise it would have not needed to raise $50 million so close to announcing that they were about to go to mass production.

Really good question that I googled out of interest also.

https://www.design-reuse.com/news_img/Handbook_Understanding_SemiIP_BusinessProcess.pdf

Seems it could be done both ways tbh.
Might be based on the client or end user.

"In the royalty-based model, there is an ongoing payment of consideration tied to some objectively
quantifiable measure, such as the number of units sold or the number of wafers manufactured. The royalty based
model is most common in the licensing of highly differentiated SIP products and may include other
parties to the agreement such as the foundry who manufactures the device instantiating the SIP. In some
cases, royalties are paid by foundries, such as in the case of foundation SIP products; in other cases,
royalties are paid by the end user such as in the case of processor SIP products and specialty memory SIP
products."

'Royalties are paid on the product containing Brainchip IP being produced and sold in the retail market.'

My experience with royalties is that they are paid at production.
If the product with the IP is mismanaged, over priced, not popular or for whatever reason fails to achieve sales, that should not be a problem for BRN.

How can we say they have not already been achieved?

Income was not given as a performance indicator by which to judge his and the Boards performance.

‘Warning the following comment is a response to the recent tragedy.’

The early press releases are suggesting these loonies were ‘Survivalists’ well if true they have to be marked as abject failures.

Definition:

Noun

1. a person who practises outdoor survival skills as a sport or hobby.
   "a survivalist's handbook"
   
   
2. 
   a person who tries to ensure their own survival or that of their social or national group.
   "a paranoid survivalist bracing for Armageddon"

Giving these evil lunatics such credibility by use of the name ‘Survivalists’ is irresponsible journalism.

Their suicide event proves beyond doubt that they were not interested in anything other than their own selfish egocentric narcissistic deluded view of their superiority.

Like the evil lunatic that stalked Port Arthur there is nothing to commend understanding such individuals they have nothing to offer other than a warning that such individuals or groups exist.
