BRN Discussion Ongoing

Older article by our mate :) that I found interesting.

I know Silicon Labs has been mentioned before and pondering any connection to Akida via Edge Impulse given they are one of Silicon Labs Tech partners and Silicon Labs now have an edge AI/ML accelerator for their devices. Obviously compatible with M class as well.

Wireless processors for IoT get AI accelerator upgrade​

February 9, 2022 Sally Ward-Foxton

Silicon Labs’ latest families of wireless-enabled SoCs for IoT applications for the first time include a hardware AI/ML accelerator. The upgrade is indicative of the growing popularity of AI/ML techniques for a variety of IoT markets, including smart home, medical and industrial. Dedicated AI/ML hardware on-chip improves power consumption, critical to many IoT applications, even bringing AI/ML within reach for more power-sensitive IoT applications.

“You’ve always been able to run machine learning algorithms on an M-class processor, the trick is can you do it in an energy efficient way?” said Ross Sabolcik, general manager for IoT industrial and commercial products at Silicon Labs. “If you burn so much energy making the calculations, you might as well push it to the cloud, if you have the bandwidth. Our focus was not only to be able to run AI and ML, but to be able to do it in a really efficient way.”

The BG24 and MG24 families, with Bluetooth capability and multi-protocol capability, respectively, will be the first devices in Silicon Labs’ portfolio to feature a new, in-house developed AI/ML accelerator. The accelerator offloads AI/ML workloads from adjacent Arm Cortex-M33 microcontroller cores in applications such as smart home, medical and industrial IoT.

Sabolcik said the company’s hardware accelerator can speed up IoT AI/ML workloads up to four times with a resulting six-fold power savings (compared to using the Cortex-M33). Such power savings are suitable for battery-powered IoT devices. Latency is also improved, compared to sending data back and forth to the cloud for processing.

The new devices natively support TensorFlow, and Silicon Labs has partnered with SensiML and Edge Impulse for a full toolchain to simplify application development and dataset management.

According to Sabolcik, customers are interested in executing AI/ML workloads at lower power at the network edge in applications like wake-word detection and sound detection in security scenarios. AI would also accelerate predictive maintenance analysis for industrial machinery. For non-AI application, the availability of accelerators could mean better reliability, fewer false positives and improved accuracy, Sabolcik said. Vision use cases, such as presence detection or people counting with low-resolution cameras, are also possible on these devices.

Matter is enabled

The BG24 and MG24 also boost flash and RAM capacities, the largest in Silicon Labs’ portfolio. The memory increase stems not from AI/ML requirements, said Sabolcik, but from the desire to offer future-proofing functionality such as multi-protocol support and over-the-air app upgrades. Both series offer up to 1536 kB of flash and 256 kB of RAM.

“Across the board, this is the most capable device that we know how to build for the 2.4GHz space, in terms of sensing, computing, connectivity and security,” he said.

While the BG24 is designed for Bluetooth applications, the MG24 has multi-protocol support, including Matter. Matter, the home automation connectivity standard previously known as Connected Home over IP, is gaining popularity. The feature represents Silicon Labs’ highest radio output power for range and reliability at +20dBm, and the company’s best sensitivity on the receive side.

Robust security features in both families also meet PSA Level 3.

BG24 and MG24 parts are already shipping to more than 40 early-access customers, with general availability expected in April 2022. Modules based on the new SoCs will be available in the second half of this year, the company said.

I thought I would search up where Bill Gates said if someone invents artificial intelligence then they are worth 10 x Microsofts, and found this site:


What I love about this page is this bit:

If anything, Gates was too conservative in his estimates. Experts say the market opportunity is now far, far greater than 10 Microsofts.

Maybe we should change to 20 x or 50 x or 100 x Microsofts!

🚀🚀🚀;)



Quoted from the above link:

For several years the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency funded machine learning research under the rubric Personal Assistant that Learns (PAL). Robert Kohout was the program manager. “InformationWeek” mentioned the effort in a July 2009 article:[4]
One of the reasons the PAL project has been able to maintain funding, Kohout says, is because Bill Gates once said that a breakthrough in machine learning could be worth 10 Microsofts. In fact, several companies have been launched based on findings from PAL, including “virtual personal assistant” provider Siri, whose iPhone app will be launched this summer.

The FACTS are:

1. That announcements are unlikely because the CEO Sean Hehir has said look to the income to judge the companies progress, and

2. That income again according to the CEO Sean Hehir will be lumpy.

Based on these two known facts you are more likely to be disappointed than not so perhaps you need to seriously explore these other opportunities that you have identified.

Brainchip is not a get rich quick scheme.

My opinion only DYOR

Worth a watch.
Nothing new, just reinforces a way of thinking from yet another successful investor.
I have seen a few of these and there are some common denominators.
Certainly mirrors how I invest these days.
Before I had 12 stocks on the ASX. Now I only have 4.

Northrop Grumman to provide battle management hardware and software for sensors and situational awareness​

Sept. 19, 2022
IBCS is to be a revolutionary air command-and-control system to help commanders make decisions and adapt quickly to changing battlefield conditions.

Ibcs 19 Sept 2022


REDSTONE ARSENAL, Ala. – Battle management experts at Northrop Grumman Corp. are preparing to help military authorities quickly deal with uncertain information concerning potential air and missile attacks.
Officials of the U.S. Army Contracting Command at Redstone Arsenal, Ala., announced a $24.1 million order earlier this month to the Northrop Grumman Mission Systems segment in Huntsville, Ala., for hardware and software for the Integrated Battle Command System (IBCS).
The IBCS is to be a revolutionary air command-and-control (C2) system to help air and missile defenders make quick decisions and adapt quickly to changing battlefield conditions. Last December Northrop Grumman won a potential $1.4 billion contract for IBCS low-rate initial production and full-rate production.

The IBCS will help enhance aircraft and missile tracking and situational awareness to enable military commanders and air defenders to make critical decisions within seconds in response to air and missile attacks.
The IBCS represents a modular open-systems architecture to optimize limited resources and facilitate flexible defense designs, company officials say.
The IBCS enables commanders to tailor organizations, sensors, and weapons to meet the demands of diverse missions, environments, and rules of engagement not achievable today, Northrop Grumman officials say. It provides wide-area surveillance and broad protection areas by networking sensors and interceptors.

The system enables affordable integration of current and future sensors, weapons, and modernization efforts, and helps connect systems for joint and cooperative multinational missile defense.
The IBCS is to replace seven legacy command-and-control systems with network-centric battle management to reduce single points of failure and increase the flexibility for deploying small force packages. The system creates a standard approach across forces to reduce logistics burdens and change training.
On this order Northrop Grumman will do the work in Huntsville, Ala., and should be finished by December 2025. For more information contact Northrop Grumman Mission Systems online at www.northropgrumman.com, or the Army Contracting Command-Redstone at https://acc.army.mil/contractingcenters/acc-rsa/.


It's great to be a shareholder.

It’s only just hit me that this quote is from 2004 and so when we all say 10x Microsoft we’re actually referring to 10x it’s 2004 market cap. I’ve for some reason always assumed it’s current market cap having not considered timing of the quote.

Microsoft’s market cap was $2.9B in 2004.

That would put BRN at $29B and a share price of $16.90.

I’m a little disappointed. $16.90 sounds good, however, it is significantly below what I was hoping over a 10-20 year period.

Can we all please agree to start saying 100x Microsoft?

$290B market cap with $169 share price sounds like something I could settle for.

Cheers
