Special Issue Information​

Dear Colleagues,
The Korean government has established a plan to make it the world’s third-largest digital competitor and create an economic effect of about 400 billion dollars through AI-based businesses by 2030. In particular, in the healthcare sector, the government announced that it would use AI to foster the biotechnology and medical industries as next-generation core growth industries. With the country’s successful ICT-based response to COVID-19, more attention has also been focused on AI in medicine and its related industry. Due to this, the contribution to AI research in medicine in Korea is rapidly increasing. It seems meaningful at this point to understand and share South Korean research on artificial intelligence approaches for medical diagnostics, so that one could learn its progress, compare it with that of other countries, and anticipate future directions. This Special Issue aims to bring together scholars, professors, researchers, engineers, and administrators in Korea using state-of-the-art technologies and ideas to significantly improve the field of AI and machine learning in medical diagnostic technology, including but not limited to the following:
Diagnostics with smart IoT and mobile/wearable devices;
Intelligent in vitro diagnostic analysis;
Medical image analysis and diagnostics;
Text mining and natural language processing in medicine;
Intelligent voice transcription;
Knowledge engineering approaches in medical diagnostics;
Data analytics and mining for biomedical decision support;
AI with electronic medical records;
Artificial neural networks and deep learning in medicine;
Models and systems for AI-based public health.

I think the clue is in "USB".

Ok but when I looked up PCle and USB all the tech articles were saying you do not run them together? Techies do this to real people all the time so more info please Dio. FF

Really cool article written by Gregory Cohen from Western Sydney University's International Center for Neuromorphic Systems. Also mentions his colleague, André van Schaik. We've seen both of these guys mentioned before in reference to neuromorphic applications in space as well as links to Prophesee.

Akida is mentioned in the second last paragraph.

Why We Built a Neuromorphic Robot to Play Foosball

Electronics inspired by biology and the brain need benchmarks grounded in the noise and chaos of the real world. Maybe foosball is the right test.

'...in the case of MBUX, drivers can, for example, say, “Hey Mercedes, how much did Parasite gross at the box office?” or “Hey Mercedes, what shall I have for dinner tonight?” MBUX intuitively knows where to route the request and how best to complete the driver’s desired action, providing a streamlined, effortless user experience.'

'Through a single interface, Cerence Cognitive Arbitrator removes the complexity of whether the Cerence-powered assistant or GiGA Genie should execute a given task, giving drivers flexibility and enabling automakers to maintain their brand experience and data ownership.'

'We are excited to team up with KT and support our long-term partner, Mercedes-Benz, as they bring this important capability to drivers of select Mercedes-Benz models in Korea.'

As the headline implies ( I guess) Cerence is a cloud software outfit so should become a customer if they want to survive.

Akida 1000 has USB 3 and PCIe interfaces. The boards will be differrent sizes and the arangement of the physical plug contacts on the boards will be determined by yhe sockets into which the boards are to be plugged. [See top left of block diagram]

The following does not shed light on the USB, but it is another bit of publicity for AKIDA PCIe.

Tom's Hardware writeup on The PCIe board from 20220122:
https://www.tomshardware.com/news/brainchip-akida-pcie-board-goes-solo

up to 64 of the devices can be daisy-chained together over PCIe. It’s designed for use as a stand-alone embedded accelerator or as a co-processor. {See bottom right of board]

As they used to say in Alabama:
"Separate but equal".

The USB and PCIe blocks are separate CODECs (coder/decoder) adapted for the USB communication protocol and the PCIe communication protocol respectively. You would use one or the other depending on the application.

Hi Iseki,

I was really pleased to see Cerence onboard still. I’ve written about them before. They’re a massive company and would be complimentary to Akida as they can handle the cloud side of things and from memory we’re doing in cabin services.

A few months ago I was talking them up and how it would be good to become involved with them as they are with numerous car manufacturers.. Back then their SP was $80 US on Nasdaq and are now $35 which shows how fortunes can fluctuate.

I would be very pleased if Cerence became a customer of Brainchip!

Along with Denso and Valeo of course. We’d have most of the car market covered and become the de-facto industry standard!

Cheers

I was just at HC seeing how another Share thread was holding up and noticed I had been moderated today for the following post on 1.2.22. Getting too many likes would be the message. LOL

 

[Mn2019]

Its very strange as I too went to the HC site this morning (even though I have a permanent suspension). Its full of identities that I have not seen before and I'm wondering if it is an attempt by the operators of the site to get the traffic u0p so they dont lose their precious advertising revenue?

Stiil full of bickering and put downs and makes me realise what a breath of fresh air Zeebot has created here

They must have every paid downramper working overtime, be it either down ramping or up ramping, but never the less its very comical to read.

As they used to say in Alabama:

The USB and PCIe blocks are separate CODECs (coder/decoder) adapted for the USB communication protocol and the PCIe communication protocol respectively. You would use one or the other depending on the application.

Just as an example of a USB PCB (not Akida), on the left you can see that the usb card has only 4 contacts, two of which are used for power.

The PCIe card has lots of contacts (bottom right), so the data is transmittted in entirely different ways, eg the data in a USD is transmitted in series because there are only 2 data contacts, whereas PCIe can transmit data via up to 16 parallel "lanes" at one go.

Then there is the arrangement of the data packets (header, payload etc), and the transmission speed.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PCI_Express

Conceptually, the PCI Express bus is a high-speed serial replacement of the older PCI/PCI-X bus.[7] One of the key differences between the PCI Express bus and the older PCI is the bus topology; PCI uses a shared parallel bus architecture, in which the PCI host and all devices share a common set of address, data and control lines. In contrast, PCI Express is based on point-to-point topology, with separate serial links connecting every device to the root complex (host). Because of its shared bus topology, access to the older PCI bus is arbitrated (in the case of multiple masters), and limited to one master at a time, in a single direction. Furthermore, the older PCI clocking scheme limits the bus clock to the slowest peripheral on the bus (regardless of the devices involved in the bus transaction). In contrast, a PCI Express bus link supports full-duplex communication between any two endpoints, with no inherent limitation on concurrent access across multiple endpoints.

In terms of bus protocol, PCI Express communication is encapsulated in packets. The work of packetizing and de-packetizing data and status-message traffic is handled by the transaction layer of the PCI Express port (described later). Radical differences in electrical signaling and bus protocol require the use of a different mechanical form factor and expansion connectors (and thus, new motherboards and new adapter boards); PCI slots and PCI Express slots are not interchangeable. At the software level, PCI Express preserves backward compatibility with PCI; legacy PCI system software can detect and configure newer PCI Express devices without explicit support for the PCI Express standard, though new PCI Express features are inaccessible.

The PCI Express link between two devices can vary in size from one to 16 lanes. In a multi-lane link, the packet data is striped across lanes, and peak data throughput scales with the overall link width. The lane count is automatically negotiated during device initialization, and can be restricted by either endpoint.
