Neuromorphic computing, a better solution for Artificial Intelligence? - An interview with BrainChip

Deep Learning is a great technology, some would say revolutionary. Companies like Intel and NVIDIA are currently thriving on the computing needs of deep learning and many startup are currently offering news ways to improve the compute. Most of these companies are using “Von Neumann” architecture...

Must be a lot older than the date states, unless 2021 was a misprint?

YT: When do you expect on your side to see a neuromorphic chip in mass production? Could this technology be applied to phones?
RL: Based upon current customer design activity and market demand, 2021 looks like the year in which the next generation of AI processors based upon neuromorphic computing principals will hit mass adoption.

Have not bothered to post a link but just read a tech news item claiming without any real details that rumour has it that Apple is planing to release a new more powerful upgraded Pod later this year or early 2023.

No other details provided but one for the 1,000 Eyes to keep in mind.

My opinion only DYOR

I remember reading an article too, a week or so ago, claiming Apple are working on a new HomePod type music machine thingy. Also speculation about it incorporating a camera and Apple TV.

I have two of the larger original HomePods (which have obviously been discontinued last year) connected to my Apple TV and stream everything on my telly. Amazing sound. If Apple were able to release a portable version with our technology in it the mind boggles what the battery life could deliver.

They should have named it Harpakazi.

This seems quite scary, but HOPEFULLY can serve as a major detractor from waging war completely.

I can foresee a defense system employing thousands of very small randomly swarming drones that loiter above radar units and act as mobile air mines for loitering HARPY drones.

Roger Levinson’s no longer at Brainchip, must be an old article with incorrect date.

Yep, sorry, I can’t make it work. I’ll repost when I get to my lappy.

Hi FF is this the one you are talking about.

Asynchronous Neuromorphic Digital Readout Circuit for Infrared Cameras for Autonomous Target Acquisition and Autonomous Vehicles – Army SBIR|STTR Program

This is about Raytheon Intelligence & Space on their Third Gen FLIR. Speaking of Raytheon, look what I stumbled across.

Raytheon to develop smart sensors, machine learning, and digital signal processing for military targeting​

June 18, 2021
Raytheon will develop an event-based camera, digital signal processing, and machine learning for smart sensors in tactical military applications.

ARLINGTON, Va. – Sensors experts at Raytheon Technologies Corp. will develop a new kind of camera and digital signal processing to enable electro-optical smart sensors for tactical military applications.
Officials of the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) in Arlington, Va., announced an $8.8 million contract Wednesday to the Raytheon Intelligence & Space segment in El Segundo, Calif., for the Fast Event-based Neuromorphic Camera and Electronics (FENCE) project.
FENCE seeks to develop and demonstrate a low-latency, low-power, event-based camera and a new class of digital signal processing and machine learning algorithms that use combined spatial and temporal information to enable intelligent sensors for tactical military applications.
Neuromorphic describes silicon circuits that mimic brain operation; it exhibits low latency, sparse output, and extreme energy efficiency. Neuromorphic cameras offer sparse output, and respond only to changes in the scene, with accompanying low latency and low power for small-format cameras in sparse scenes.

Related: Artificial intelligence and machine learning in signal processing become the intelligence analyst's friends
Event-based imaging sensors operate asynchronously, and only transmit data from pixels that have changed, so they produce 100 times less data in sparse scenes than traditional focal plane arrays (FPAs). This leads to 100x lower latency at 100x lower power.
Despite their inherent advantages, existing event-based cameras are not compatible with military applications because military images are cluttered and dynamic. The FENCE program seeks to develop an integrated event-based infrared focal plan array with embedded digital signal processing to overcome these challenges.
The FENCE program's primary focus is on developing an asynchronous read-out integrated circuit (ROIC) capable of very low latency and power operation, and a new, low-latency event-based infrared sensor with in-pixel processing.
The project also will develop a low-power processing layer that integrates with the ROIC to identify relevant spatial and temporal signals. The ROIC and the processing layer together will enable an integrated FENCE sensor that can operate on less power than 1.5 Watts.
Related: The coming revolution in sensor and signal processing
The FENCE program will last for four years, and DARPA researchers issued their broad agency announcement for the project last October. Raytheon may not be the only FENCE contractor, as DARPA officials say they plan to award contracts to several companies.
On this contract Raytheon will do the work in Goleta and El Segundo, Calif.; Cambridge and Tewksbury, Mass.; McKinney, Texas; Tempe, Ariz.; and New York City, and should be finished by May 2025.

Yes, war technology will get smaller and more accurate. It will pass human capabilities. Imagine sending off drones to target the origin of artillery fire as a defence mechanism. Imagine ai driven "Iron dome" defence capabilities for cities living under threat of bombardment. Imagine sensors able to detect explosive compounds communicating with drones in large crowds as a defence against terrorist acts.

Agreed. We are now in the second half of a year of which we were promised revenue and deals. I’m sure it’s happening, but we need to see some more customers to develop the SP.

 

[newpunta]

Not a doubt in my mind and clearly just only my opinion.
I only watched the last hour and will presume the previous 5 hours today was very similar.
The only sellers were the same people buying .......... just hope real buyers are getting in and taking advantage.

I am more laid back about the manipulation lately ......... not cos i am getting used to this but COS thanks to the thousand eyes quality posts.

I have NO DOUBT where Brainchip is going ......... beyond where any man/woman or neutral have EVER BIN.
Just my opinion

Ukraine could do with a few of those Harpy launchers right now, they would tip the balance very quickly
