BRN Discussion Ongoing

[Straw]

Hasn't helped my painting before Christmas!

Ya and all my new seedlings which should be powering away are just sitting there with an exclamation bubble above them stating 'What the.......?"

 

[David holland]

I know fact finder always says 1% of this or that but surely BRN can achieve 5% of all that

All the talk on here sounds like where got a far greater share than that

 

[Diogenese]

Brainchip agrees!

Yes. I think the BrainChip/SiFive partnership started a FOMO snowball picking up ARM and Intel with a bit of help from MegaChips.

The Intel Foundry Services IP Alliance:
https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/foundry/ifs-accelerator/ip-alliance.html

We could soon see products including Brainchip/ARM SNNs made by Intel Foundry Services (IFS) competing with products including Brainchip/SiFive SNNs made by IFS, and both competing with products including Brainchip/Intel SNNs made by IFS.

Just as Brainchip covered the RISC-IV and RISC-V bases with ARM and SiFive, Intel has now spread its bets to cover the red and the black.

So from your perspective Dio,

Should BrainChip position itself into the Intel's Pathfinder Ecosystem also, to spread Brainchip's wings bigger?

[RobjHunt]

I totally agree DB.
How the hell making a profit from a falling share price is legal beggers belief because of the obvious - manipulation.
The problem is with shorters' is that over the years they have perfected the art of manipulation and unless there is an exceptional announcement, they will continue to bend us over.................
But what can us poor old retailers do? Don't let the pricks get any of your shares.
All good things come to those who wait.

Supersleuthing Learning,

Sifive have been collaborating for "a multi-year history", so this would be a solid launch pad to incorporate Akida.

SiFive

“Intel and SiFive, the founder and leader in RISC-V computing, share a multi-year history of collaboration, and we are pleased that Intel selected the SiFive® PerformanceTM P550 core both as the heart of the Horse Creek development platform and for use with Intel® Pathfinder FPGA-based development tools,” said Phil Dworsky, SiFive Global Head of Strategic Alliances. “Intel® Pathfinder for RISC-V* gives software developers a head start in preparation for the highly anticipated Horse Creek boards, which are on track for delivery this year. SiFive is excited to work with Intel on this project, to engage with mutual customers, and together to fuel innovation in the fast-growing RISC-V ecosystem.”

https://pathfinder.intel.com/news/i...new-capabilities-for-pre-silicon-development/

In fact, they could make an immediate start with the Akida simulator (nee ADE) in MetaTF.

SANTA CLARA, C.A. — August 30, 2022 — Intel® Pathfinder for RISC-V* is launching today to transform the way SOC architects and system software developers define new products. It allows for a variety of RISC-V cores and other IP to be instantiated on FPGA and simulator platforms, with the ability to run industry leading operating systems and tool chains within a unified IDE.

Sifive is still very much the new kid on the block, so having Intel's endorsement will supercharge its market penetration, and AI/one-shot on chip ML is all the rage.

I think we are looking at event horizon spaghettifying acceleration.

Hey @Diogenese

Have you ever done a bit of a dive into iCatch Tech?

The other partner / collaborator of Prophesee who released their info around April this year and we did ours around June.

I was looking into them and one of their news items about the IMX636 which is Sony's sensor, then coupled with Metavision and iCatch V57 SoC.

I found some info sheets as the AI details was a bit light on elsewhere. The Vi37 references CNN if I read right but the V57 and others just reference a NPU IP.

Appears not using low bit weights 8-16(?)

But Akida can run higher though if wanted yeah?

Just musing about any possible way they could use our IP as CNN2SNN on their chip which stacks with Sony IMX636 sensor and uses Metavision SDK or whether we would have to come through the Metavision side?

Couple snips from news.

Now iCatch has collaborated with Prophesee on Event-based Metavision sensing projects that integrated iCatch’s V57 AI vision processor with the new Sony Semiconductor Solutions ("SSS") stacked Event-based Vision Sensor IMX636, realized in collaboration between SSS and Prophesee.

iCatch built the OpenMVCam development platform for all algorithm partners and ODM customers to design a variety of AI products, systems and applications on many market segments like surveillance, smart healthcare, in-cabin monitor system, smart home, industrial automation, smart city and so on.

SSS’s Event-based Vision Sensor can be the input source for iCatch AI vision processor, based on iCatch built-in NPU acceleration engine and proprietary CV processing hardware engine. It can integrate Prophesee Metavision Intelligence SDK and other 3rd party’s machine vision algorithms to support end customers’ AI vision applications such as DMS and OMS in automotive in-cabin, patient/elder fall detection in home healthcare and hospitals, intruder detection in home surveillance, anomaly detection in industrial automation, gesture control in smart home appliance, eye tracking in AR/VR and so on.

Hi Fmf,

I didn't find any NN related patents for icatch.

The V57 is an Image Signal processor which includes an NN core:

A group of CV engines which comprise of an optical flow processing (OPF) accelerator, matrix arithmetic engine (MAE) with DSP functions and high-performance NPU engine, can manipulate the image and video data in real-time to support edge computing and intelligent processing, such as pedestrian detection, vechicle detection, distance extraction, behavior recognition, gesture recognition, or even action recognition, and much more. The embedded USB3.2 Gen1 device interface and support ultra high-speed and high-resolution video data transfer.



2.3. Image process acceleration engine

 Matrix operation engines

 Scaling up/down engine

 De-warping engine for lens distortion correction (LDC) and multi[1]view affine transformation

 Motion detection engine

 HW accelerated optical flow engine for DVS sensor applications

 Pre/Post processing for NPU acceleration



2.5. Neural network accelerator

 High performance 1.2 TOPS NPU engine

 Supports weight/bias quantization using UINT8, INT8, INT16,

Float16, BFloat16 and Post-training quantization

 MAE engine – pre/post DSP accelerator


It does not include SNN.

It would be a case of either/or as far as the iCatch NN is concerned.

They would have been working with Prophesee for some time


https://www.prophesee.ai/2022/04/19/icatch-prophesee-collaboration-ai-vision-processor/

iCatch and Prophesee collaborated on development of AI vision processor natively compatible with Prophesee Event-based Metavision® sensing technologies.​

iCatch Technology (iCatch) has focused on image signal processing (ISP) technology and Camera SOC for over two decades and aggressively invested in research and development in more machine learning (ML) related technology and application.

Now iCatch has collaborated with Prophesee on Event-based Metavision sensing projects that integrated iCatch’s V57 AI vision processor with the new Sony Semiconductor Solutions (“SSS”) stacked Event-based Vision Sensor IMX636, realized in collaboration between SSS and Prophesee.
iCatch built the OpenMVCam development platform for all algorithm partners and ODM customers to design a variety of AI products, systems and applications on many market segments like surveillance, smart healthcare, in-cabin monitor system, smart home, industrial automation, smart city and so on.

iCatch also provides a high customized service and an excellent image quality system to become the eyes of all of machine vision equipment and smart devices in the future.

SSS’s Event-based Vision Sensor can be the input source for iCatch AI vision processor, based on iCatch built-in NPU acceleration engine and proprietary CV processing hardware engine. It can integrate Prophesee Metavision Intelligence SDK and other 3rd party’s machine vision algorithms to support end customers’ AI vision applications such as DMS and OMS in automotive in-cabin, patient/elder fall detection in home healthcare and hospitals, intruder detection in home surveillance, anomaly detection in industrial automation, gesture control in smart home appliance, eye tracking in AR/VR and so on.

So it looks like you have found the missing link in the Sony/Prophesee/? triangle.

But it was after this that Prophesee confessed its undying love for Akida. So, as I speculated when the Sony/Prophesee collaboration was announced, unfortunately they are probably contractually bound to iCatch for the first born.

So, as someone speculated above, was the Apple CEO inspecting iCatch's offspring, or was there a newer and better love child in the cradle?

You've got to ask yourself one question - would Sony or Prophesee be happy showing off an inferior solution?

Thanks D

Like you, I had a quick patent skim and couldn't find anything to do with AI per se either.

I did notice the CNN reference on the Vi37 but then just NPU on others as I said hence the question on CNN2SNN if viable.

When you say missing link I presume you mean the AI processing component (not us in that IMX) to create that package?

I'll try dig around for earliest Prophesee/ iCatch connection mentions maybe tomoz.

Begs question maybe then of how long working with iCatch and how long working with us before either public news releases and was there any parallel Testing / Dev?

IMX636 and IMX637 event-based vision | Imaging and Machine Vision Europe

Macnica ATD Europe now offers event-based vision sensors from its distribution partner, Sony Semiconductor Solutions

www.imveurope.com

IMX636 and IMX637 event-based vision
29 November 2021

Macnica ATD Europe today announced to offer the Event-based vision sensor (“EVS”) from its long-term distribution partner, Sony Semiconductor Solutions Corporation (“Sony”). The two sensors IMX636 and IMX637 were made possible through collaboration between Sony and Prophesee, another distribution partner of Macnica ATD Europe.

EVS realizes high-speed data output with low latency by limiting the output data to luminance changes from each pixel, combined with information on pixel position coordinates and time. Only the pixels that have detected a change in luminance for the object can output data, allowing the sensor to immediately detect the luminance changes with high-speed, low-latency, high-temporal-resolution while operating with low power consumption. It represents a whole new approach compared to the commonly used frame-based method, where the entire image is output at certain intervals determined by the frame rate.

Application fields where the two new models of EVS specifically exploit their advantages over frame-based sensors are for example sensing changes in sparks produced during welding and metal cutting; and sensing slight changes in vibration and detecting abnormalities for use in predictive maintenance.

Macnica ATD Europe as a prime distribution partner of both Sony and Prophesee covers the full cooperation on the EVS technology and offers technical support as well as the free loan of evaluation kits in different versions from first “hands on” evaluation to full performance evaluation (available in Q4). The cooperation also covers the Metavision® Intelligence Suite from Prophesee, an event signal processing software optimized for the sensors performance, which is available through Macnica ATD Europe. Combining Sony’s event-based vision sensors with this software will enable efficient application development and provide solutions for various use cases.
