BrainChip to start 2022 by shipping edge AI chips in volume​

Akida PCIe Board - Brainchip
BrainChip Holdings Ltd. is gaining notoriety for its chips in the growing market for edge AI applications, having made a debut in a new all-electric Mercedes-Benz concept car in January. Recently, BrainChip started taking orders for two development kits integrated with the Akida AKD1000 edge AI processor for internal testing and validation.
Last month, the manufacturer announced the beginning of the full commercialization of its Akida AKD1000 AI chip through the availability of mini PCIe boards. BrainChip said its solution is a viable product to unlock increased functionalities for Smart City applications as well as digital consumer health and smart home devices. As the market for customized hardware has grown, the manufacturer pledged to offer full PCIe board design layout and bill of materials to system integrators and developers — enabling them to design custom boards and deploy the Akida AKD1000 chip as embedded accelerator or co-processor.

The Akida AKD1000 edge AI processor provides OEMs and car manufacturers with a cost-efficient solution for real-time in-vehicle preventative care. The edge AI processor is capable of early detection mechanisms through real-time analysis of incoming sensor data. Because of real-time edge AI capabilities, the processor chip reduces the existing problems with privacy, internet dropout, and latency and bandwidth constraints.

“We have been working on developing our Akida technology for more than a decade and with the full commercial availability of our AKD1000, we are ready to fully execute on our vision,” said Sean Hehir, BrainChip CEO. “Other technologies are simply not capable of the autonomous, incremental learning at an ultra-low power consumption that BrainChip’s solutions can provide. Getting these chips into as many hands as possible is how the next generation of AI becomes reality.”
BrainChip said the PCIe boards are immediately available for pre-orders on the BrainChip website, starting at $499.

Making headway in 2022​

There was a revamp inside BrainChip in 2021 with the appointment of Sean Hehir as the new CEO and the appointment of Jerome Nadel as CMO, who will lead the team for product marketing as it moves toward achieving full commercialization of its Akida neuromorphic computing platforms. BrainChip said 2021 was its “most successful year” with several technological advancements and marketing upgrades. Among all the milestones achieved, Akida AKD1000 is the most successful production chip designed by BrainChip. Additionally, the company introduced MetaTF, a machine learning framework that works within TensorFlow.
In a January regulatory filing (BrainChip is publicly traded on the ASX), the company revealed it reached $1m in revenue for 4Q 2021. The company has also been granted its ninth patent.

Came across this random article about Neuromorphic computing..............Judging by the main picture they used as the teaser I'd say it'd probably be worth a read................Unfortunately you need to pay to access the whole article

What’s So Exciting About Neuromorphic Computing

The human brain is the most efficient and powerful computer that exists. Even after decades and decades of technological advancements, no computer has managed to beat the brain with respect to efficiency, power consumption, and many other factors.

An interesting article here about how neuromorphic computing may be able to overcome some of the technical limitations of Lethal Autonomous Weapon Systems (LAWS). There is much controversy around allowing an autonomous weapon system roam the battlefield uncontrolled.

Neuromorphic computing, the author believes, "...may allow LAWS to function in a manner more comparable to a human combatant". For example, neuromorphic computing might be better at telling the difference between a military target and a civilian and help avoid "collateral" damage.

Of course, connectivity and latency are paramount in autonomous weapons. Currently, only our Akida could carry out the processing at the Edge on a weapon. Whatever your views on autonomous weapons, they will be a feature on future battlefields so hopefully this can be another example of Akida being 'beneficial AI'.

Some interesting read on ARM:

New Arm CEO heavily hints company is working on GPUs/Accelerators for hyperscale, AI, and autonomous vehicles
February 08, 2022

https://www.datacenterdynamics.com/en/news/new-arm-ceo-heavily-hints-company-is-working-on-gpusaccelerators-for-hyperscale-ai-and-autonomous-vehicles/?utm_source=pocket_mylist

Fresh off of the implosion of Nvidia's acquisition of Arm, the company has suggested it still has big plans for the GPU market.
Speaking on a media briefing attended by DCD, the company's new CEO Rene Haas said that it is looking at markets that "need an accelerator, that need something that can do offload from a CPU."

– Open Grid Scheduler / Grid Engine

Haas was asked by The Next Platform's Timothy Prickett Morgan about whether the company would compete in the GPU space for high-performance compute and artificial intelligence workloads, referencing Nvidia's flagship A100 GPU and whether Arm would be interested in building a more open, licensable competitor.

"I've got Inder [Singh] with me who will keep me honest as a long term company CFO, and I'm day one on the job as a first time CEO, so I [need to] make sure I don't get too forward-reaching in term of my comments here," Haas replied.

"But your commentary is an interesting one, because today Mali is largely known for our footprint in mobile," he said, referencing the company's GPU IP for consumer devices like smartphones.

"It's the most popular GPU on the planet - Nvidia notwithstanding, most GPUs that ship in the world are actually the Mali architecture. I think as you start to get into the hyperscale, and you start to fast forward into the cloud, you get into some really interesting opportunities relative to the CPU, the GPU, where is the machine learning taking place? Is it a standalone NPU [neural processing unit]? Can you do something else relative to that area?

"I can tell you that we've got a lot of people looking at that, and I think it's one of the biggest opportunities for us."

Haas could have been talking about adding more machine learning compute to CPU designs, but followed up by mentioning offloading from CPUs to accelerators. He said: "It's also a playbook that's very relevant from cloud to hyperscale, into autonomous - that needs an accelerator, that needs something that can do offload from a CPU."

He continued: "So nothing I can tell you yet about product plans. I can tell you that we have a lot of smart people inside the company spending a lot of cycles thinking about different things we can do in that space."
The company has equally been wildly successful with mobile CPUs, along with other low-power devices, but has long struggled to break into the hyperscale server market. That has begun to change in recent years, however, most notably with Amazon Web Service's custom Graviton processor range.

Mention of Brainchip about half way down

BRAINCHIP HOLDINGS - THERE IS STILL A LOT IN THE PIPELINE

The BrainChip Holdings from Australia, which is well-known with up to 10 million sales per day, is also here. The head of the company, CEO Sean Hehir, will appear in front of the audience at 7:00 p.m. and present his strategy in the competitive chip market.

After an increase of over 300% in just 3 months, the price has recently entered a slight consolidation. Thus, the trend follows the big trend on the NASDAQ, where the technology index NDX has so far fallen 15% of the high. Tesla, the super-hypnotised representative of e-mobility, lost 30% in the same period. The interest rate turnaround in the US capital markets had led to this correction of the well-run tech stocks. She's not over yet!

Contrary to the current price correction, however, the technological progress at BrainChip is evident. The US Patent and Trademark Office recently granted the company the patent for Method and a System for Creating Dynamic Neural Function Libraries. It is a continuation of two previous US patents. According to BrainChip, this patent protects the basic structure and function of a digital neuron, which consists of several synaptic circuits, which are connected to a soma circuit in analogy to a biological neuron.

With the granting of this further US patent, BrainChip can show its customers that its technology plays a pioneer in the "revolutionisation of artificial intelligence", according to company founder Peter van der Made. Previous experiments in this field of research have not yet been able to achieve comparable results. The company's patent portfolio currently includes eight patents granted in the USA and one in China as well as 21 pending patent applications in the USA, Europe, Canada, Japan, Korea, Australia, Brazil, Mexico and Israel.

The prominent BrainChip customers include organisations such as NASA, Valeo, Nanose Medical, Renesas and Ford. A megatrend is likely to develop in the area of autonomous driving, here the Australians with their technologies are already very far away. BRN shares are actively traded in Australia, NASDAQ and Germany. The market capitalisation is currently around 1.67 billion EUR. Take the value back into observation, because consolidation on the NASDAQ is likely to continue a little due to the interest rate shock. Technically, it should not be less than 0.80 EUR!

Anybody else read this article and wonder about this comment

"The BrainChip Holdings from Australia, which is well-known with up to 10 million sales per day"

Anybody have any idea what they are talking about or maybe it's just an error in translation?

 

[ForrestofHope]

Yes - it’s a very curious inclusion because the rest of the article is quite accurate.

Can anyone contact Doris Stockle and ask where she got that figure from.

 

[ForrestofHope]

Thanks greenwaves for posting the link. When I ran it through a translator it says

'BrainChip Holdings from Australia, which is known for trading up to 10 million shares per day, will also be there.'
