BRN Discussion Ongoing

[Tothemoon24]

Samsung will launch the Galaxy S24 in mid-January 2024, and it will be the company's first AI Phone. It features a chipset (Exynos 2400 or Snapdragon 8 Gen 3) with a powerful NPU that can offer on-device AI processing so that it doesn't need the internet to offload tasks to a cloud server. That makes things faster and more reliable for some tasks. Further, the company plans to enhance NPU to be ready for raytracing and upsampling tasks in future Galaxy smartphones.

Samsung developing its own raytracing, super sampling gaming tech for Exynos

It is reported that Samsung (SAIT) is developing its own raytracing and super sampling gaming technologies for future Exynos chips.

Hi Jesse,

The RZ/V2M uses Renesas in-house DRP-AI, which runs MACs.

https://www.renesas.com/us/en/produ...cessor-isp-vision-ai-assp-real-time-human-and

RZ/V2M​

infoActiveSamples Available

AI Accelerator (DRP-AI), 4K-compatible Image Signal Processor (ISP), Vision-AI ASSP for Real-time Human and Object Recognition​

The AI hardware IP, DRP-AI, configured with DRP and AI-MAC, combines both a high-speed AI inference and low power consumption and realizes 1TOPS/W class power performance. In addition, the image signal processor (ISP) is highly robust, producing a stable image independent of the environment, allowing for a high AI recognition accuracy. With these features, the RZ/V2M realizes low power consumption, which is a challenge for embedded devices, making heat dissipation measures easier. Since heat sinks and cooling fans are no longer needed, the equipment can be miniaturized and the BOM cost can be reduced. The result is that it is ideal for vision AI applications in a wide range of embedded markets, including surveillance security, retail, office automation (OA), industrial automation, robotics, and healthcare. In addition, the RZ/V2M also features abundant high-speed communication interfaces such as USB 3.1, PCI-Express, Gigabit Ethernet, and many CPU peripheral functions, so it can also be used in a variety of applications.


DRP-AI patent:
US11249722B2 Semiconductor device and method of controlling the semiconductor device 20180615

A semiconductor device includes a dynamic reconfiguration processor that performs data processing for input data sequentially input and outputs the results of data processing sequentially as output data, an accelerator including a parallel arithmetic part that performs arithmetic operation in parallel between the output data from the dynamic reconfiguration processor and each of a plurality of predetermined data, and a data transfer unit that selects the plurality of arithmetic operation results by the accelerator in order and outputs them to the dynamic reconfiguration processor.

2024 MB GLB with latest MBUX & voice assistant. Couldn't find the word "lidar", but given "lane keeping" and "steering assist".

Also the reference to voice control "artificial intelligence".

2024 Mercedes-Benz GLB price and specs​

The updated Mercedes-Benz GLB seven-seat SUV range is set to go on sale in Australia this week.
...
Inside there’s the latest generation of the MBUX infotainment system which offers wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, as well as a more sophisticated voice assistant.


The MBUS site is more forthcoming:
https://www.mbusa.com/en/future-vehicles/2024-mercedes-benz-glb-suv

The GLB offers so much in such an accessible package, it feels like magic.​

Room for up to seven passengers. Ample space for cargo. A wealth of state-of-the-art technologies. Plenty of power and superb handling. The 2024 GLB kicks it all up to another level, welcoming an abundance of standard features and enhancing each of its hallmark offerings.
It’s been redesigned, its unmistakable sporty outline sharpened and polished with angled LED headlamps, redesigned front bumper and athletic shoulder shape. Inside, its 10.25-inch media displays anchor a modern cabin accentuated in materials like the steering wheel’s standard Nappa leather. Plenty of other features now comes standard too: the LED headlamps and taillamps with Highbeam Assist, the Parking package, USB package, Keyless GO and more. Safety technology also sees an upgrade: Active Steering Assist Disclaimer[3] offers more comfortable control over Lane Keeping Assist Disclaimer[4] and the Parking package allows for a 360-degree camera Disclaimer[5] view of the external environment.
The latest generation of MBUX offers even more innovation upgrades. Drivers can now select three display modes: “Classic,” “Sporty,” and “Discreet” (for those who like to keep it minimal). Three modes (Navigation, Assistance and Services) and 10 ambient light settings allow for even greater personalization. The system goes to even greater lengths to learn from drivers over time, registering preferred routes and settings, suggesting personalized entertainment and comfort features — and allowing drivers to decline those suggestions temporarily or permanently with a simple verbal command.

• Upgraded version Mercedes-Benz User Experience (MBUX) with Voice Control multimedia system based on artificial intelligence

Blind spot warning accident avoidance system	Standard
Driver attention alert	Standard
Pre-collision safety system	Standard

Since it is a hybrid, power usage is not a critical issue, so it could be using Nvidia AI ... but would it make sense to have 2 different systems?

Hi Dio,

In the photo little short circled it shows brainchip on the monitor with moschip while they're demonstrating RZ/V2M?

Or am i confused..?

Morning IIoveLamb.,

Well if thay are not using Akida , yet displaying our business name , infering we are in the mix , then one would think this is were our IP lawyers would step in.

Well spotted Thelittleshort.

Hi Ill,

Strange. Ravi Tej answered Jesse's query by saying it ran on the Renesas chip, but it was at a Renesas do, so he would say that wouldn't he?

We did do a co-presentation in India with MosChip on 11 - 12 May 2022.

https://moschip.com/blog/brainchip-moschip-to-demonstrate-ai-capabilities-at-iesa-ai-summit/

Maybe they are clutching at our coat tails?

PS: I remain convinced that Akida is better than DRP-AI.

Hi Dio,

thanks for the reply.

It is interesting. Is there a teeny weeny tiny minute minuscule atoms chance you could be wrong about our inclusion.........?

Sorry to question, it's just i fail to see why our logo would be displayed front and centre at a renesas / moschip display that is demonstrating the rz/v2m unless we were involved in some way?

I have also posted numerous LinkedIn likes etc from brn staff on this particular renesas chipset.

I can't help but feel we are missing something.

 

[Bravo]

And here's the old page:

April 2021 (Shows Brainchip):
https://web.archive.org/web/2021042...y.edu.au/marcs/our_research/our_collaborators

June 2022 (Does not show Brainchip):
https://web.archive.org/web/2022062...y.edu.au/marcs/our_research/our_collaborators

Great work retrieving these archives @wilzy123!

I got a bit excited this morning when I realised that we may be able to deduce some connections in relation to hearing devices/cochlear implants, etc., from the old page.

After all, it seems more than a little coincidental that we are located in the centre in proximity to Cochlear and Google, don't you?

Also, I noticed in May 2023 that Western Sydney University, along with Cochlear and Google Research (Australia) have teamed together to help tackle problems with hearing devices such as "background noise".

Breaking the Sound Barrier: Using Sensors to Help Australians Hear Better — NSSN

In this thought piece, Dr Kelly Miles, Research Fellow at Macquarie University, writes about her successful team from this year's NSSN Grand Challenge Fund and how they are using smart sensors to make the world a more accessible place for Australians with hearing difficulties.

www.nssn.org.au

And Andre van Schaick from Western Sydney University has contributed to numerous research paper, such as this one, about hearing and neurmorphic engineering.

Event-driven spectrotemporal feature extraction and classification using a silicon cochlea model - PubMed

This paper presents a reconfigurable digital implementation of an event-based binaural cochlear system on a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA). It consists of a pair of the Cascade of Asymmetric Resonators with Fast Acting Compression (CAR-FAC) cochlea models and leaky integrate-and-fire (LIF)...

I remember PVDM talking about hearing devices and now I wonder if the old Wester Sydney Uni "Collaborators" page indicates something significant in this area.

Agreed! I am very nervous as this company is where I started my investing journey and 1 of the first things I learnt was have a plan and stick to it. Well my plan is to take profits in July 2024 pay house off. Failing this and the narrative is still , soon, not to distant future, revenue is coming etc get out and reinvest elsewhere. 2 Xmas ago I was super confident thinking everytime an Ann came out this is it. Now everytime and Ann comes out I think uh oh . Sean and the company have promised alot and delivered on alot of promises except the one that counts$$$. I truly hope and reservingly believe soon, near future etc is before 01-07-2024.

Hi Ill,

What a question! Of course there's no chance I'm wrong ;}

Seriously, the Renesas block diagram for the RZ/V2M shows the DRP-AI block in the grey Sensing and Analysing section.

Our deal with Renesas was that they would handle the heavy lifting with their 10 year plus researched DRP-AI, and the 2 nodes (8 NPUs) of Akida would be for the fiddly bits (ultra-low power applications).

Maybe the sunk costs are preventing Renesas from using the best solution. They have come up with a really nifty solution which became obsolete immediately Akida became available.

Or maybe it is expedient to proceed with their chip for the time being. They would have done all the prototyping, taping out, testing, refinement and approval processes for their high-end applications, so maybe, short term it makes sense to use DRP-AI for safety-critical applications until they qualify Akida for those applications?

Hey Gang!

I've been thinking about the new Renesas 22nm RA-family chips which is expected to be launched towards the end of the year. This chip is an extension to the RA family of 32-bit Arm® Cortex®-M microcontrollers and is the one that is supposed to include our amazing technology.

Anyway I was thinking about the question of revenue based on mass volume and trying to work it form various angles to try and get a gauge on what we could expect to see coming into the coffers in the near future.

So we know from our website that a 28nm chip costs $15 for mass volumes (see below). And I'm presuming 22nm might be a little more expensive, let's say $20 a chip??

As for the term "mass volumes", what does that look like from a quantity perspective? I am pretty sure I remember Sean saying after the last AGM that total chip production costs on mass volumes are really high, into the tens of millions of dollars. I think he may have said up to $50 million dollars.

Sooo, based on this remedial information Renesas must be pretty confident they can sell enough chips to cover their costs and make a decent profit - which is a lot of chips when you think about it.

All IMO. DYOR.
