The US is urging the Netherlands to ban ASML Holding NV from selling technology to China that is essential to a majority of global chip production, according to informed sources. As can be heard, the focus is on some systems from the field of deep ultraviolet lithography, which are most common in the production of chips for cars, cell phones, computers and robots.

USA drängen Chipausrüster ASML, Export nach China einzuschränken
(Bloomberg) -- Die USA drängen informierten Kreisen zufolge die Niederlande, der ASML Holding NV den Verkauf von Technik nach China zu untersagen, die für eine Großteil der globalen Chipproduktion unerlässlich ist. Im Fokus stehen dabei, wie zu hören ist, einige Systeme aus dem Bereich Deep...

Well if we are not going to talk about it then let’s all see it-
please open up the link and check it / read it and see it-remember with the MERCEDES scenario- the CEO said “it is something he cannot talk about”

NON-PROPRIETARY DATA
Objectives
The goal of this project is the creation of a radiation-hardened Spiking Neural Network (SNN) SoC based on the BrainChip Akida Neuron Fabric IP. Akida is a member of a small set of existing SNN architectures structured to more closely emulate computation in a human brain. The rationale for using a Spiking Neural Network (SNN) for Edge AI Computing is because of its efficiencies. The neurmorphic approach used in the Akida architecture takes fewer MACs per operation since it creates and uses sparsity of both weights and activation by its event-based model. In addition, Akida reduces memory consumption by quantizing and compressing network parameters. This also helps to reduce power consumption and die size while maintaining performance.

FUTURE PLANNED DEVELOPMENTS
Planned Post-Phase II Partners
We received five Letters of Support for this project. Two of which will provide capital infusion to keep the project going, one for aid in radiation testing, and the final two for use in future space flights.
Planned/Possible Mission Infusion
NASA is keen to increase the performance of its autonomous rovers to allow for greater speeds. Current routing methodologies limit speeds to 4cm/sec while NASA has a goal to be able to have autonomous rovers traverse at speeds up to 20km/hr. Early calculations show the potential for this device to process several of the required neural network algorithms fast enough to meet this goal.
Planned/Possible Mission Commercialization
A detailed plan is included in the Phase I final submittal to commercialized a RADHARD flight ready QML, SNN SoC to be available for NASA and commercial use.

people talk glibbery about science - Google Search

Interesting short clip. Not a thing to do with BRN. But shows we are left field of the normal with tech that needs to be looked at instead of having blinkers on.
Speaks volumes for me.

Someone did say that someone from BRN said they helped Nasa recently with a mission or something like that.

Hi- FF maybe this is why Silicon Space Technology Corporation now - Vorago have this agreement to Collaborate still active - maybe now an NDA.
BrainChip and VORAGO Technologies Agree to Collaborate through the Akida Early Access Program

Aren’t we getting a little ahead of ourselves here? It is only a software update. For this to be our contribution Akida would already have been embedded in the cars. I wish it were so.

don't know about this in twitter. on here yes but twitter not sure. It's Nasa. Brainchip have a number of very sensitive clients who don't necessarily want to go public before time and 1000 eyes are super detectives. Sometimes i thimk the knowledge we know is perhaps well in advamce. I'm not up there with what you can and can't put up on twitter so this is purely my thoughts. But yes kudos to the find and a great find at that. We know it and now the world knows it Akida is on a rocketship.I posted this on Twitter last night.....
Oh well!

Awesome! The myriad of solid dots equals mega validation, on both the (1) Technology and the (2) People behind it. Our people have to be impressing too, as they must be preforming very well in very serious meetings with other Spiking Neural Network tech-geek-heads. I think our Brainchip-Geek-Heads are winning. All I hear is a steady flow of good news, more ongoing Nasa next steps another example. If our people were not fantastic too, they would be long gone.
At the same time, there is massive industry news/announcements of the Far-Edge-AI Low Power Sensors focus. Everyone wants in this new blasting industry.
Seems to me this Fact Finder special just cements in Validation for the Team/People equally to the technology solutions.
Side Note: I saw 2 Cape Canaveral Launches last week. The first SpaceX booster was the same one that was used 45 days before. We watched from the beach behind the hotel. Those things landing on the Drone Barge is nuts! Plus the newest Disney Wish Cruise Ship came into the port for the first time. I started thinking about all the Akida SNN Use Cases on a cruise ship!

I guess you know who Jim Carlquist is?
Who has worked on 4 projects for NASA
including the RISC-V

And what you found @factfinder I thought it was old news?

I wouldn’t read too much into this, posters on Twitter love linking names (shout-outs) to attract attention, which this looks like
They might have purchased through megachips? I raised the question a while ago as to Megachips ability to on sell our IP licence. MC don't need to disclose everytime they sell it.
Which means companies wishing to fly under the radar can purchase through MC without the world knowing.

I’ve just spent the last hour digging into AL/ML usages in NASA and Army etc and have posted my findings in the Nasa section. Good to see so many projects underway in 2022

@alwaysgreen that poster on that sewage forum is possibly talking about this. LoL

If he gets the thought that article means a possible agreement with Intel.
Chips - Now it's really getting started! Intel, BrainChip, ARM, NVIDIA
Chip stocks like Intel have recently lost double digits on the stock market. But what about demand? Market researchers at McKinsey predict that the chip industry will grow by 8% annually until 2030 - and even more in selected niches such as the automotive industry. For chip stocks, this means...
