BRN Discussion Ongoing

[Sirod69]

is this interesting for us?
I go to bed now

Project Monterey GA announced today as part of VMware vSphere 8 with the Arm based DPU ecosystem providing excellent performance and latency benefits. And more workloads (AI/ML, Bare metal, RAN acceleration, etc) and disaggregation use cases to come in future! Lot of innovation on this since its inception days to transform the next gen enterprise infrastructure. #vmwareexplore2022

Not sure if this has been posted and watched-

So far I am about 14-15mins into watching this, the guy is talking about YOLOv4 so far

GitHub - stdp/akida-yolo: A basic example of using Akida with a camera feed running YOLO to identify people and cars within frame.

[Fact Finder]

A message from the coal mine:

“Hi Fact Finder

I'm taking two weeks annual leave at the end of this week. I'll be back at work on 19th September.

This will be my first holiday since starting at Brainchip so I'm hoping you (and other shareholders) could refrain from emailing or calling during this period so I can have a proper break from work and an opportunity to recharge my batteries. I'm still recovering from Covid, so this break has come at just the right time for me.

I'd be happy for you to share this message on TSE.

Regards
Tony Dawe”

Not an unreasonable request but I will alert the auditors to check the accounts just in case.

My opinion only DYOR

This is precicely what I have been getting on about with fully/semi-autonomous vehicles. They will have to have “safety” features that cause them to break unnecessary. They will “jump at shadows”!

Autonomous driving is a case of a desire for a technology pushing for its existence before it is fully ready, and the push to be first to market using our streets as test areas.

I could not agree more stronglt with the statement from the article of:
“This nation should not allow this malfunctioning software which Tesla itself warns may do the 'wrong thing at the worst time' on the same streets where children walk to school,” Mr Nader said in a statement.

I am fully supportive of driver assistance technologies but not for fully autonomous vehicles driving on public roads.

I would like to see some statistics/data around this sentiment.

People do random irrational things too all the time!
The difference is that people won't iteratively be improving their abilities and become better/safer drivers. ( assistant technologies will help up to a point )

Otherwise this fear of autonomous vehicles is like the fear of sharks when you should be worried about drowning.

What are the chances. Now that would put a fire into the shorters backside!

I'm not a religious man but please God, Mohammed, Buddha, Shiva, Jesus, Ganesha, Santa, Easter bunny or anyone else who will listen, let this be us.

Can’t I be afraid of sharks and drowning or do I have to pick.

• general-purpose Dpsv5 and Dplsv5
• memory optimized Epsv5

Azure Virtual Machine series, built on the Ampere Altra processor.

Interesting news, however, what is the theoretical connection to Brainchip?

Enjoy the sunshine .

It's great to be a shareholder.

Look at the volume. Pretty low. Looks like not getting enough volume to play with it. Hopefully soon tha shorters will let it go .

NVIDIA Orin Brings Arm and Ampere to the Edge at Hot Chips 34​

NVIDIA Orin For 2022 Self Driving Cars

At Hot Chips 34 we got to see the NVIDIA Orin at a new level of detail during one of the talks. This is NVIDIA’s Arm-based edge CPU with an integrated Ampere GPU for the edge markets.

Note: We are doing this piece live at HC34 during the presentation so please excuse typos.

NVIDIA Orin Brings Arm and Ampere to the Edge at Hot Chips 34​

NVIDIA Orin has 12x Arm Cortex-A78AE cores using Arm v8.2. It incorporates an Ampere GPU, LPDDR5 memory, and has more I/O connectivity. The real goal of the platform is to bring NVIDIA AI inference to the edge in various form factors from automotive to robotics.

HC 34 NVIDIA Orin Overview
The Arm Cortex-A78AE cores operate at 2.2GHz and are arranged in three clusters each with 2MB of L3 cache per cluster in the 12-core configuration.

HC 34 NVIDIA Orin CPU Complex
These are not official results, but for some perspective, this performance is very high. The SPEC CPU 2017 rate integer at 39.36 is very good. An 80-core 3.0GHz Ampere Altra Arm data center CPU is 301 and a 64-core AMD Milan-X is around 440. Again, those are official results compared to Orin that is estimated.

HC 34 NVIDIA Orin CPU Performance
Orin a safety island complex with Arm Cortex-R52 cores.

HC 34 NVIDIA Orin Safety Island
Here are the specs on that. The lockstep pairs is perhaps the most interesting and important part.

HC 34 NVIDIA Orin Safety Island CPU And Memory
Another big feature is that Orin uses Ampere GPU IP. The embedded products skipped Turing so they went from Volta in Xavier to Ampere in Orin.

HC 34 NVIDIA Orin Ampere GPU
This GPU can split into two GPUs using MIG, like higher-power Ampere GPUs. This is a feature of the chip but during the talk NVIDIA said this is not supported in software and that is why we probably had not heard of it before.

HC 34 NVIDIA Orin Ampere GPU 2
NVIDIA has its Deep Learning Accelerator with an emphasis on INT8 for AI inferencing since that is a key capability of this line. Training happens on bigger chips and systems. FP16 was removed in this generation due to power efficiency. DLA is designed for well-understood AI inference models and running at a lower power and lower area overhead. As a result, FP16 was removed in favor of INT8 optimization.

HC 34 NVIDIA Orin Next Gen DLA
Here are the new Orin features:

HC 34 NVIDIA Orin Net Features Compared To Xavier DLA
Something that I did not know before this talk was that there is a multi-Orin topology available. This can happen either with PCIe x4 links or with 10GbE.

HC 34 NVIDIA Orin Multi Orin
There has been a lot of talk about AV1 video encode/ decode. Orin has this along with being able to support functions for cameras and it even has 10GbE.

HC 34 NVIDIA Orin Additional Enhancements
Performance is up with the more modern platform, but the main focus is really on accelerators on a platform like this.

HC 34 NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin Performance V Xavier
In terms of energy efficiency, the new chips are faster and use more power, but they end up being more efficient.

HC 34 NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin Performance V Xavier MLPerf
The NVIDIA Jetson Orin is the line that will power robotics and has a 10W-60W TDP range.

HC 34 NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin And NX Orin
For automotive, there is the Drive Orin Automotive. This is the one that scales to four Orin.

HC 34 NVIDIA Drive Orin Automotive
This is a big step function for NVIDIA and also an area where having more compute and energy efficiency is always welcome.

Final Words​

We actually have a video for the NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin that was going to go live next week but we are probably going to add in a bit from the HC34 presentation. This video was used as a bit of a test for a slightly new angle that took some time (and failures) to get together.

NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin Developer Kit
Stay tuned for more on this as it is a very exciting platform.

NVIDIA Orin Brings Arm and Ampere to the Edge at Hot Chips 34

At Hot Chips 34, we got a deeper-dive into NVIDIA Orin, the company's Arm CPU and Ampere GPU AI edge platform

I was kind of expecting the patent announcement today granted 30/ 8

 

[Proga]

Hi @Proga , I thought Akida would be incorporated with the NVIDIA DRIVE platform in which case I imagine it would be in both the EQE and EQS.

EV Technology Goes into Hyperdrive with Mercedes-Benz EQS

The focal point of the revolutionary Mercedes-Benz EQS is the MBUX Hyperscreen, a truly intuitive AI cockpit powered by NVIDIA.

blogs.nvidia.com

Not sure. It mainly describes the new hyperscreen in which the glass stretches between the 2 A pillars and has 3 separate screens behind it. I hope you're right. Determined to fit the jigsaw together. MB doesn't make it easy.

Hadn't noticed it before but the new hyperscreen does look like the nose of a bullet train.

The news that Mikhail Sergeyevich Gorbachev died today hasn’t really registered with me. I’m still getting over the shock of finding out that he didn’t die decades ago.

Exactly. I remember his face on a Billboard in England advertising Vodka . As it is always better to have the advertised product positioned in the upper right hand side , his face was on the left side of the billboard. As a result the advertiser repositioned the very recognisable birth mark to the right hand side of his forehead. It took ages before the media picked it up and the Vodka got a double shot of advertising. That was 1981

 

[Bobbygant]

for us in Germany it was really great 1989, when the Berlin wall falls, I really hope this forum will not begin to be a political one, ok
In Germany we have to much of problems, because we´d hat to much trust.........

I agree this forum should stay on track BRN
