BRN Discussion Ongoing

[Diogenese]

Today I was dropping some things off to the local Salvation Army Op-Shop in my Toyota Echo and there was a guy who looked to be in his early twenties who asked the shop assistant if there were any undies in the store. The shop assistant said that it was unlikely, however if underpants were to be anywhere they'd be located in the far left corner and he added helpfully that there was an Aldi's next door and that they sold extremely cheap underwear.

Well, the young dude looked a bit crest-fallen but he continued his search and he actually succeeded in finding what may have been the only underpants in the entire op-shop and he bought them over to the counter whereupon the shop assistant exclaimed. "These are brand new! It must be your lucky day!"

"Oh, really?" said the dude "In that case, I'll leave them".

And that's a true story.

Oh dear!

Hi JB,

Quadric make what they call a "Supercomputer" which integrates the functions of CPU/GPT/AI accelerator using a modified CNN for image classification.

Its basic unit seems to be their Vortex ALU.

It won't be used for doorbells.

The White Paper 2019​

May, 2019

https://www.quadric.io/post/the-white-paper

we founded Quadric to build a product that brings server-class performance to the edge.

By 2015, researchers were proving classification results on the Imagenet challenge that exceeded human error rates. One such advanced CNN network architecture, RESNET50 strikes a balance between total computational network complexity and error rate.

The Akida Event-Based Neural Processor
The Akida event-based neural processor is a fundamentally different approach that breaks the linear relationship between high power consumption and performance seen in traditional accelerators. The Akida processor is 10x to 30x more energy-efficient than its nearest competitor for inferencing on industry-standard benchmarks such as MobileNet and Google Keyword Spotting DNNs, and is easy to use. Trained on MobileNet’s Imagenet 1000 data set, the Akida neural processor can classify all 1.2 million images, and 1,000 classes, at 30 frames per second within a power budget of just 156 milliwatts in 28nm, compared to several watts for a Google Edge TPU. Audio keyword recognition using the Google keyword database runs at an extremely low power of 150 microwatts.

30 frames per second in 156 mW = 192 frames per second per Watt. (This is the 2019 Akida, not the improved 2021 commercial version - to be fair, the Quadric figures are from a 2019 white paper). So Quadric is in the same ballpark, but Akida has made home base, while Quadric just making 3rd.

The main difference is that Quadric is a Frankenstein amalgam of CPU, GPU and AI accelerator. Their AI accelerator uses ResNet50, an improved CNN arrangement which enables skip connections when intermediate layers are not required.

Oh dear!

No, that's the funny thing Dodgy-knees they weren't dear at all, actually they were really cheap! But even-so he didn't want to touch them with a 10 foot barge pole. I can only guess as to what the moral of this story is?

Just a lovely reminder of our management team

Hi all, I have obviously not been here for sometime.

I want you to know I will always own some Brainchip stock. I believe in the technology, I have been following for years. Yes it will have a role in future technology for sure, imo.

I am concerned with world affairs and ask you to recheck your risk to ratio analysis of your investment, no advice, imo, dyor.

We have had a fantastic journey. Many beautiful souls here and I wish you all well. Your are all intelligent and amazing people.

I am heading off for sometime but I wanted to wish you all the best before I go.

Hope to catch up in the future at some stage. May God bless you all and your families. Stay safe.

AKIDA BALLISTA!!

Everyone has gone to bed. So annoying and boring. I am babysitting some echidnas so I can't go to sleep and I so wish it was Friday already.

Did you name one of them Spike?

 

[Bravo]

So now you're a clairvoyant as well as being the biggest brainiac I know! Phffff!

I agree.

I didn´t try to win a popularity contest by writing it, but just to put the recent discussion a little into perspective. What is beneficial AI anyway?

Fred, when reading your post all I saw were non-partisan dollar signs

Let's just hope the devil respects patents and royalty payments

Could it be this year akida goes into production with Mercedes? Time will tell.

Quite some time ago I watched and also recorded via a hard drivable formatted recorder this year… (2022)

SBS THE THIRD INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION

Apologies no link, however something every BRN chipper should view…

Recording may have been done prior to 2020, however the amount of IOT speaks loud volumes of what is transpiring prior including ATM moving forward and where BRN is needed / required.

This includes, illustrations that BRN has shown on a visual level , in relation to smart cities, home etc…

Just got an email that my AKIDA PCIe is on it way, so stoked.
