So it’s not going to be the GR765, then, but a completely new SoC, the GR801.

As predicted, Jörg Conradt’s lab at KTH Stockholm will be collaborating:
He better practice spelling and saying “Akida” correctly ASAP!

Svenska rymdprocessorn får neuromorf AI​

Jan Tångring,04 april 2025


Frontgrade Gaisler tar fram ett chip som integrerar dess egen rymdprocessor med australiska Brainchips neuromorfa AI-processor Akida.

Beställningen kommer från Svenska rymdstyrelsen. En först tape-out ska komma i slutet av året.

Chipet heter GR801 och blir den första produkten i Gaislers nya produktlinje Grain (Gaisler Research Artificial Intelligence NOEL-V). På GR801hittar vi Gaislers Risc V-processor Noel V och Brainchips neuromorfa processor Akida.

Brainchip har utvecklat sin strömsnåla accelerator Akida i två decennier. Den är digital men är neuromorf (liknar biologiska hjärnceller) i meningen att den simulerar de spikpulser som biologiska hjärnor använder för signalering, inklusive att beräkningarna är händelsestyrda – de väntar på spikpulserna.

Akida kan integreras i SoC:er och utvecklas i standardarbetsflöden som Tensorflow. Den kan tränas under drift.

KTH har konstruerat en demo som kopplar en sensor – även den neuromorf – till GR801. Den kommer från forskargruppen Neurocomputing Systems (NCS), som leds av professor Jörg Conradt.

Gaislers produktlinje Grain är till för att möjliggöra mer avancerade och autonoma rymduppdrag – med stöd av energieffektiv AI.

GR801 kommer att jobba i både kommersiella och institutionella rymduppdrag.

Sandi Habinc

– Grain är en spännande satsning för Gaisler, eftersom vi har goda förutsättningar att möjliggöra nya funktioner för realtidsdatabearbetning, autonom navigation, jordobservation samt objektigenkänning och -spårning, säger Sandi Habinc, verksamhetschef på Frontgrade Gaisler.
Frontgrade Gaislers strålningshärdade mikroprocessorer finns i hela solsystemet – från Merkurius till Neptunus.

Frontgrade Gaisler is developing a chip that integrates its own space processor with Australian Brainchip's neuromorphic AI processor Akida.

The order comes from the Swedish Space Agency. A first tape-out should come at the end of the year.

The chip is called GR801 and will be the first product in Gaisler's new product line Grain (Gaisler Research Artificial Intelligence NOEL-V). The GR801 features Gaisler's Risc V processor Noel V and Brainchip's neuromorphic processor Akida.

Brainchip has been developing its low-power Akida accelerator for two decades. It is digital but is neuromorphic (similar to biological brain cells) in the sense that it simulates the spike pulses that biological brains use for signaling, including that the computations are event-driven - they wait for the spike pulses.

Akida can be integrated into SoCs and developed in standard workflows like Tensorflow. It can be trained during operation.

KTH has constructed a demo that connects a sensor - also neuromorphic - to the GR801. It comes from the Neurocomputing Systems (NCS) research group, led by Professor Jörg Conradt.

Gaisler's Grain product line is designed to enable more advanced and autonomous space missions - supported by energy-efficient AI.

GR801 will work in both commercial and institutional space missions.


- “Grain is an exciting venture for Gaisler, as we are well positioned to enable new capabilities for real-time data processing, autonomous navigation, Earth observation, and object recognition and tracking,” says Sandi Habinc, Director of Operations at Frontgrade Gaisler.

Frontgrade Gaisler's radiation-hardened microprocessors are found throughout the solar system - from Mercury to Neptune.

The link does not lead to this paper and I cannot find it there. Can you please help.

Hi CHIPS,

FYI: it’s the same paper I had already posted about on Wednesday:

https://thestockexchange.com.au/threads/brn-discussion-ongoing.1/post-456495

You may want to try the link I had shared then (a slightly different one)

https://arxiv.org/pdf/2504.00957v1

although the www.arxiv.org link @Fullmoonfever provided actually works fine for me.

Alternatively, you’ll find screenshots of the whole paper in my post.

Schönes Wochenende

Hello Frangipani

There was a misunderstanding from my side because I thought that the article was also to be seen at this link https://ebrain4everyone.com/
The other one worked fine then. Thank you for your help.
Schönes Wochende!

Intel, TSMC outline deal to form chipmaking venture, says report

Chip giant Intel and foundry TSMC have reportedly reached a preliminary agreement to form a joint venture to run Intel's chip manufacturing.

Intel, TSMC outline deal to form chipmaking venture, says report​

Struggling chip giant Intel and Taiwanese foundry TSMC have reached a preliminary agreement to form a joint venture to run Intel’s chip manufacturing plants, according to a report in The Information.​

TSMC is set to take a 20 percent stake in the venture with Intel and US fabless chip companies holding the majority, the report said referencing unnamed sources. At least some but not necessarily all of Intel’s wafer fabs will be included under the venture, the report said as details are worked out.

The possibility of a deal was previously reported last month just as Lip-Bu Tan was taking over as CEO.

It was reported at the time that TSMC had been invited to come up with a plan by the Trump administration to try and resolve a long-running crisis at Intel which had been the world’s pre-eminent chip company.

TSMC has offered to share some of its manufacturing process technology with Intel in exchange for a 20 percent in the new company, The Information has reported. TSMC will also take control of manufacturing and training of workers in the venture’s wafer fabs.

TSMC has held talks with potential partners such as AMD, Broadcom and Nvidia, according to previous report. Each partner might hold a minority stake but in aggregate the majority would be owned by US headquartered companies, a condition likely imposed by the US government.

If the deal goes ahead it will be an example of rapid and radical decision making by Tan. In his first speech as Intel CEO Tan said he would sell-off non-core businesses but also re-iterated a promise to create a world class foundry operation out of Intel’s chip manufacturing capabilities.

Mitch Stevison, CEO of Frontgrade Technologies (the US parent company of Sweden-based Frontgrade Gaisler) is very much looking forward to attending the upcoming 40th Space Symposium (https://www.spacesymposium.org/) in Colorado Springs (April 7-10), organised by the Space Foundation (https://www.spacefoundation.org/).

In an interview uploaded to YouTube two days ago (my transcription is lightly edited for easier readability, eg. without filler words such as “erm”, “you know”, word repetitions etc), Mitch Stevison refers to the annual Space Symposium as “our biggest show of the year” and “the space ecosystem’s most meaningful cong [gets interrupted by the interviewer]”.

Asked about what he is most excited to see, he replies “I am always one that wants to listen to what the operational leaders are saying”, adding that the defence sector still makes up two thirds of Frontgrade Technologies’ business.
Relating to national security, Stevison tells the podcast episode’s listeners that “I’m always most interested in what is on the mind as the priorities from those leaders, from government that will speak at the conference. And then there’s always things that you just walk around and you see both from a competitive standpoint and from a technology standpoint that is interesting. Because the other thing we haven’t talked about here today is: partnership is key in whatever happens in the future of space. No one company is gonna be the solution set that is going to drive us to be what we need to be in space with respect to national security or even our commercial capabilities that every part of the ecosystem today demands that space is there at every moment of every day, whether it’s communications or GPS or anything else of that nature.”

From the perspective of the Frontgrade CEO, the upcoming Space Symposium is simply THE place to be: “There is nowhere else that we go, that I can literally touch every customer we have in a matter of two or three days. Everybody is there. You know, we support the European Space Agency from our facility in Sweden. They are a great partner for us in developing capabilities that we couldn’t develop ourselves. They’re gonna be there, so the Director of the European Space Agency. You’ll see leaders from NASA.”

He then shares that he was initially a little concerned about some of the Trump administration’s governmental directives about not travelling that could potentially result in fewer government officials showing up this year, but he recently talked to Space Foundation’s CEO Heather Pringle (a retired US Air Force major general who last served as the Commander of the AFLR) who reassured him that “the Space Operations Command had made this mission [attending Space Symposium 2025] essential for their employees (https://www.spoc.spaceforce.mil/About-Us/About-Space-Operations-Command) and gave him “very high confidence that this would be one of the most well-attended Space Symposiums ever” despite those recent governmental directives.

„[Our Generation 2 IP] It’s all implemented in our box that we have here. It’s running on an FPGA, and so our customers can actually try it out in reality here, in real hardware, and the next step may or may not be to put this into a chip.”

Interesting.

Yeah..?

What, you telling me you don't like omelettes?..

Don't judge what's going on, without giving it some time to play out.

Right now, extreme fear is driving the markets.

Fear is an emotion, and is not rational thought.

Where there is extreme emotion in the markets, there is opportunity.
