60 is the new 30 tech, so you're travelling well25 of those years overlapped, if that makes sense, so let's reduce the 90 back down to 64 but thinking I'm still 30 when I see a very
good looking lady.
Yes, but keep selling the story, we have a fantastic company and the more Australians who get to know about us and our brilliant
technology the better, as far as I'm personally concerned, we will always be Australian, thanks to Peter choosing our country to
develop and create his dream.![]()
I'm probably the least tech savvy on this forum but I don't see Ergo2 capable of one shot or few shot learning, doesn't use spiking neuromorphic architecture and is 100 times more power hungry than Akida.
I’m more worried about this sort of chip - traditional AI done faster - at the edge than Loihi in terms of competition.
Agree it doesn’t have on chip learning but they are claiming 30fps at 17mw whereas akida 1000 is 30 FPS @ 157 mw in 28 nmI'm probably the least tech savvy on this forum but I don't see Ergo2 capable of one shot or few shot learning, doesn't use spiking neuromorphic architecture and is 100 times more power hungry than Akida.
It's 7mm ×7mm so likely very expensive.
Yes, @Dhm! Prophesee is getting the word out, like upcoming Jan 25th TinyML Presentation!Prophesee have a White Paper out on event based sensing, "Metavision for Machines". It probably isn't appropriate for me to publish it myself as I had to apply for it, but here is a small teaser for you

It sounds very exciting from where I am sitting. Lets hope Prophesee can get the word out to the world!
Agreed, this one is for @DiogeneseAgree it doesn’t have on chip learning but they are claiming 30fps at 17mw whereas akida 1000 is 30 FPS @ 157 mw in 28 nm
Don’t know what nm Ergo is, maybe Dio can help clarify?
Edit: built on GlobalFoundries' 22FDX process node
For comparison, Renesas DRP can do 30 frames per second at 3.1 Watts
Perceive's Ergo 2 Offers Multi-Model On-Device Machine Learning in a Sub-100mW Power Envelope - Hackster.io
Offering a claimed four times the compute of the original, Perceive's latest system-on-chip comes with some impressive efficiency claims.www.hackster.io
Info on the process- same cost as 28nm
By my reading the after accounting for process to produce the chip still makes them about twice as power efficient as akida. Need some expert help!

The 10,000 fps equivalent did baffle my mind, plus the DVS cameras without a shutter!10,000 fps equivalent. I take this to mean that Prophesee's DVS event camera can capture movement (change in light impinging on a pixel) detected by individual pixels at 10,000 Hz, not a full screen of pixels in a frame. DVS cameras do not have a shutter, so the photoreceptor plate is continuously exposed to the field of view. The thing which would limit the speed which a DVS could capture movement would be the response time of the pixels unencumbered by any frame rate - without the inherent delay of the fixed frame configuration of normal video. The pixels fire asynchronously as the light impinging on the individual pixels changes.
Going back to Prophesee's comments about Akida, Akida can accept asynchronous input from individual pixels. It does not need to wait for a full frame of image data. It is able to receive individual "events" as they occur. So it seems from Prophesee's comments, Akida is capable of matching the performance of the Prophesee DVS, something that frame-based system cannot do.
On the other hand, nViso has tested Akida with framed video to over 1.6 k fps.
Not one for quoting ChatGPT but I use this instance as an exception.Agreed, this one is for @Diogenese
Can you imagine the customers company meetings to decide which one to go with.Not one for quoting ChatGPT but I use this instance as an exception.
Differentiate between Akida and Ergo 2.
Akida and Ergo 2 are both neuromorphic processors developed by different companies for a wide range of applications such as image and speech recognition, autonomous vehicles, and industrial automation. However, there are some key differences between the two processors.
Architecture: Akida is based on a spiking neural network architecture, which mimics the behavior of neurons in the brain. Ergo 2, on the other hand, is based on a more traditional artificial neural network architecture.
Power consumption: Akida is designed to be highly power-efficient, with low power consumption and high performance. Ergo 2 also claims to be low-power but the specific power consumption figures are not publicly available.
Programming: Akida provides a software development kit (SDK) and programming model that is designed to be easy to use, even for developers with limited experience in neuromorphic computing. Ergo 2 also has a development kit but the information about the programming model is not publicly available.
Pricing: Akida is available as a system-on-a-chip (SoC) and as a development board, with the SoC available for $1.65 in volume orders. Ergo 2 is available as a development kit that includes a development board and software tools, and is priced at $2,995.
Company: Akida is developed by Brainchip, a company that specializes in neuromorphic computing solutions. Ergo 2 is developed by Mythic, a company that specializes in low-power artificial intelligence processors.
In summary, while both Akida and Ergo 2 are neuromorphic processors designed for a wide range of applications, they differ in terms of architecture, power consumption, programming, pricing and the company that developed them.
I think my key take away from this is that the world is moving towards SNN while Ergo 2 is developing ANN.Not one for quoting ChatGPT but I use this instance as an exception.

They're making the best damn buggy whips money can buy.I think my key take away from this is that the world is moving towards SNN while Ergo 2 is developing ANN.
Sort of like Ergo 2 is the worlds best gas engine technology while the world has embraced electric cars.
