If ARM was an arm, BRN would be its biceps💪!
Was a quiet day so, ICYMI a brief summary of 2022 for Sifive to lead into the weekend. I do like the 100 customers bit.

SiFive Delivers Record Growth in 2022 with Fast-Growing Roster of New Customers and Products​

Highlights leadership in RISC-V and proven performance and power density benefits
San Jose, Calif., Dec. 13, 2022
– At the RISC-V Summit today, SiFive, Inc., the founder and leader of RISC-V computing, celebrated its impressive year of growth and technical achievements. In 2022 SiFive announced collaborations with some of the world’s largest chip companies and hyperscale datacenters, as the company has been laser-focused on expanding growth. Today SiFive has design wins with more than 100 customers, including 8 of the top 10 semiconductor companies, in applications including automotive, AR/VR, client computing, datacenter, and the intelligent edge. This year the company rolled out new products for a range of fast-growing and high-volume markets, including a comprehensive automotive portfolio, and expanded its presence globally. This momentum was recognized last week when SiFive was awarded the prestigious 2022 Most Respected Private Semiconductor Company Award by the Global Semiconductor Alliance GSA.
“This was a standout year for SiFive, as we collaborated with some of the biggest companies on the planet to tackle their unmet needs, shifted our portfolio and revenues from embedded to high performance RISC-V products that are shaking up the industry, and expanded our global footprint,” said Patrick Little, CEO and Chairman at SiFive. “With the fast-paced growth of SiFive and rapidly increasing demand for our products, and the overall growth of the RISC-V ecosystem, as we’ve said before, the future of RISC-V ‘has no limits’ as we take the company to new heights.”
SiFive has made incredible technical progress over the last year, rolling out several products with unparalleled compute performance and efficiency. The new SiFive Performance™ P670 and P470 RISC-V processors raise the bar for innovative designs in high volume applications like wearables, smart home, industrial automation, AR/VR, and other consumer devices. The company introduced its SiFive Automotive™ E6-A, X280-A, and S7-A solutions to address critical needs for current and future applications like infotainment, cockpit, connectivity, ADAS, and electrification. Plus, SiFive enhanced its popular SiFive Intelligence™ X280 processor IP to meet the accelerated demand for vector processing, especially for AI and ML applications.
The company has continued to deepen its collaborations and partnerships as it works to transform the future of compute and define what comes next. Through partnership with Microchip, SiFive is a part of NASA’s next generation High-Performance Spaceflight Computing (HPSC) processor, which delivers a 100x increase in computational capability to help propel next-generation planetary and surface missions. Additionally, the X280 processor with the new SiFive Vector Coprocessor Interface Extension (VCIX) is being used as the AI Compute Host to provide flexible programming in a leading datacenter. SiFive also announced its work with companies including BrainChip, Kinara (Deep Vision), Synopsys, and ProvenRun, as well as a broad set of OS, Software Tools, and EDA ecosystem processors for the SiFive Automotive Family of processors
Another big milestone for SiFive is the company’s partnership with Intel to spark innovation in high-performance RISC-V platforms. SiFive is supporting Intel Foundry Services (IFS) Innovation Fund’s goal to build innovative new multi-ISA computing platforms including RISC-V platforms optimized for Intel process technology. The IFS Innovation fund will support the creation of disruptive technologies to address modern computing challenges, with the Intel-SiFive collaboration aiming to extend the RISC-V ecosystem. At the show, the companies unveiled more details about the HiFive Pro P550 Development System (code named Horse Creek); this high-performance development system will enable the RISC-V ecosystem to productively create software when it is commercially available later in 2023.


Agreed @TopCat, I like the 100 customers part too! I'm pretty excited about what 2023 holds in store for the BrainChip and SiFive partnership and particularly excited to see what this might entail. 🤞☝️✊🐇

Thanks Taproot, had a chance to watch this morning, Duy Loan Le, what a super star.
I read about her of coarse when it was announced that she will be joining the BrainChip board, but I didn't quite grasp
just how much of an outstanding individual she actually is. We are truly blessed to have her on team brain.

Hi Bravo,

Could this be what Ford have been tinkering away with.

Brainchip, Renases, SiFive = Ford

Just joining dots on a Sunday, I'm sure at some point Ford will make an announcement or do a Merc.

Self-driving EV computers like Tesla HW4 could generate climate change emissions to rival all data centers​

EV self-driving computers may increase climate emissions (image: Tesla) EV self-driving computers may increase climate emissions (image: Tesla)
The green EV credentials are under threat from a new MIT study that calculates future greenhouse gas emissions from vehicles with computers dedicated to autonomous driving tasks. Self-driving kits like Tesla's upcoming Hardware 4 upgrade could produce climate change emissions equal to or surpassing those of all current data centers combined if their power draw is not kept in check.
Daniel Zlatev, Published 01/20/2023 🇫🇷 🇪🇸 ...


While Tesla is preparing to release the Hardware 4.0 computer upgrade for its next Full Self-Driving Beta kit generation, MIT researchers are warning that cars equipped with autonomous driving chips may generate greenhouse gas emissions on par with the world's data centers. If 95% of the electric cars on the road by 2050 have some sort of autonomous driving capabilities with the respective chip and sensor paraphernalia, for instance, computational efficiency would need to double almost every year so as to keep the fleet's climate change emissions under the level of current data centers.
According to one of the study's authors Soumya Sudhakar, an MIT graduate student in aeronautics and astronautics:
If we just keep the business-as-usual trends in decarbonization and the current rate of hardware efficiency improvements, it doesn’t seem like it is going to be enough to constrain the emissions from computing onboard autonomous vehicles. This has the potential to become an enormous problem. But if we get ahead of it, we could design more efficient autonomous vehicles that have a smaller carbon footprint from the start.
In an example where a self-driving EV system comprises of ten cameras with neural network processing images from each, the car equipped with it would be making more than 21 million interferences per hour of driving. A billion such vehicles, or about two thirds of the current global fleet of cars, would create 21.6 quadrillion inferences in just an hour, or many times more than the whole of Facebook for a day with its data centers.
"We are hoping that people will think of emissions and carbon efficiency as important metrics to consider in their designs. The energy consumption of an autonomous vehicle is really critical, not just for extending the battery life, but also for sustainability," added Vivienne Sze, an associate professor at MIT's Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science.
The study of future autonomous driving system greenhouse gas emissions calculates that their computers would have to keep the power draw at not more than 1.2 kW in order to have some acceptable level of emissions throughout the life cycle of the car.
The solution that the MIT study's authors point out to, is making autonomous driving computers like Tesla's upcoming Hardware 4.0 even more specialized and the self-driving algorithms more efficient in terms of power consumption, without compromising vehicle safety.

25 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. :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

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. (y)
Let's just for now stick to our 46,000 s/holders and soak up the s/price it brings well under the ASX radar for now .......... who know's what will happen when we have over one million s/holders on the register and there won't be enough shares to go round to fill their and future requirements.

She has the Charisma and confidence of Bruce lee. I had to take a sit back in my chair case she kicked my ass.

She appears to be on par with AMD CEO Lisa Su. Inspirational and great to see on the BRN board.

um ... but ... if the vehicles are powered by renewables?

Hi all, have not posted for a while but have still been following closely.

I think it's safe to assume that the team and partners are setting up commercialisation well and have come a long way since the prior CEO. Share price never indicates the progress of a company, especially one that has just come out of their R&D stage.

It is always nice to have a lesson that good things never last. Mercedes was linked and SP went from our current stages (66 cents) to an intra day high of 2.34. The positive is that there should be many more large companies like Mercedes being mentioned in the future. No need for revenue when the large Co's start being linked in all sectors.

I don't know why people get so impatient when our partners have only been testing our product for 6/9 months. I'm excited seeing all our 3rd parties start to really ramp up their marketing. BRN's website is looking very nice and has come a long way over the past 2 years. Great to see.

Always DYOR... Doesn't take much for this stock to move either way. Lot's of fun.

Mucking around on a Sunday arvo on Chatgpt and asked the question "can edge computing store data to later send to the cloud?
The answer of course was yes but the interesting part was it/they referred to it as "Fog Computing"
I don't recall hearing or seeing that terminology before. I am somewhat forgetful though.
Anyway, could be part of my next search looking for clues.
have fun.

Maybe find this post from May last year worth a read...has an article explaining

At the time I wrote we had one partnership in the consortium...well, now we have two.

"If we think of our primary start point or playground as the Edge then what of the "beyond the Edge" back the other way to the cloud....being the Fog.

The area between the Edge and the Cloud.

Obviously partnered with at least one member of the the OpenFog Consortium...in red below."

Well 4 business days this week and 2 the following, and then we'll have our current questions answered.

I think most of us feel that the timing isn't quite right, we are still so far ahead of the curve, products are coming, royalties are coming
but I feel it's definitely not all in synch just yet.

As mentioned before, I wish to hear of more IP signings. The companies we have been engaged with for a number of years now
through our EAP program really need to commit, surely....as the months trundle by I am really having trouble accepting that they
just won't commit, "officially" that is.

Brainchip signs IP Licenses, that's our play.

Have things stalled somewhat? Please put aside all the dots for a moment, please put aside the companies that have "officially"
signed an IP License, we know that they are developing products, that I totally understand, but it's the companies that are seemingly
on the fringe, when do they actually, officially, have to be announced as holding an IP License?

That part has me confused.

Just putting the question out there, I'm backing our company 100% to succeed, is it all about the NDA's???

Or is it simply a case of, our partners have to sell our IP to their customers before they commit to actually developing a product as such?

All's cool, just throwing it out there.

Cheers....Tech (y)
