Intel is also mentioned: 'We now have access to Intel Neuromorphic Research Consortium and are using it for other projects'. This after mentioning early access to Brainchip's AKIDA.

This research was conducted prior to AKIDA1500 release with transformers so perhaps this would leave Loihi in the dust.

Tactical agility for AI-enabled multi-domain operations​

2 May 2023 • 3:10 PM - 3:30 PM EDT | Tampa 2

Commanders must remain agile and adaptive in the future Artificial Intelligence (AI)-enabled multi-domain battlespace, where critical decisions are made at the tactical edge. Over-reliance on static, cloud-centric approaches to Machine Learning Operations (MLOps) compromises such agility and adaptability. These systems must operate in a dynamic threat environment, and learn to detect novel threats during operation. They must be able to perform this learning through the execution of tactical MLOps under austere and degraded conditions, especially limited wireless network bandwidth. In response to these requirements, this paper describes Hawk, a system that leverages edge proximity for rapid and iterative execution of the Observe stage of the Observe-Orient-Decide-Act loop. Central to this architecture is the use of tactical cloudlets. These mini data centers provide cloud-like computing resources without the communication latency to exascale data centers. Hawk enables a human to guide MLOps at low cognitive load, thus enabling an operational objective to be achieved at speed and scale while remaining usable and explainable.

Chip designer Arm makes its own advanced prototype semiconductor

Company to build test chip with factory partners, stoking fears it could in future compete with its biggest customers

The company will team up with manufacturing partners to develop the new chip, according to people briefed on the move who describe it as the most advanced chipmaking effort the Cambridge-headquartered group has ever embarked upon.



However, multiple industry executives told the FT that its newest chip — on which it started work in the past six months — is “more advanced’ than ever before. Arm has also formed a bigger team that will execute the effort and is targeting the product at chip manufacturers more than software developers, they said. The company has built a new “solutions engineering” team that will lead the development of these prototype chips for mobile devices, laptops and other electronics, according to people briefed on the move.

Chip designer Arm makes its own advanced prototype semiconductor​

Company to build test chip with factory partners, stoking fears it could in future compete with its biggest customers


in London 6 HOURS AGO 41 Arm Ltd news. Arm is developing its own chip to showcase the capabilities of its designs, as the SoftBank-owned group seeks to attract new customers and fuel growth following a blockbuster IPO later this year. The company will team up with manufacturing partners to develop the new chip, according to people briefed on the move who describe it as the most advanced chipmaking effort the Cambridge-headquartered group has ever embarked upon. The effort comes just as SoftBank seeks to drive up Arm’s profits and attract investors to a planned listing on New York’s Nasdaq exchange. The company traditionally sells its blueprint designs to chip manufacturers, rather than getting involved directly in the development and production of semiconductors itself. The hope is that the prototype will allow it to demonstrate the power and capabilities of its designs to the wider market. Arm has previously built some test chips with partners including Samsung and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co, largely aimed at enabling software developers to gain familiarity with new products. However, multiple industry executives told the FT that its newest chip — on which it started work in the past six months — is “more advanced’ than ever before. Arm has also formed a bigger team that will execute the effort and is targeting the product at chip manufacturers more than software developers, they said. The company has built a new “solutions engineering” team that will lead the development of these prototype chips for mobile devices, laptops and other electronics, according to people briefed on the move. The solutions engineering arm is led by chip industry veteran Kevork Kechichian, who joined Arm’s top executive team in February. He has held previous roles at chipmakers NXP Semiconductors and Qualcomm, overseeing the development of the San Diego-based company’s flagship Snapdragon chip. The team will also expand on Arm’s existing efforts to enhance the performance and security of designs, as well as bolster developer access to its products. Rumblings about Arm’s chipmaking moves have stoked fears in the semiconductor industry that if it makes a good enough chip, it could seek to sell it in the future and thereby become a competitor to some of its biggest customers, such as MediaTek or Qualcomm. People close to Arm insist there are no plans to sell or license the product and that it is only working on a prototype. Arm declined to comment. Any move to build chips for wider commercial sale would undermine Arm’s position as the “Switzerland” of the semiconductor industry, selling designs to almost all mobile device chipmakers while not directly competing with them. Its neutral model has led to its products being found in more than 95 per cent of smartphones, with customers including Qualcomm, MediaTek and Apple. “Working on intellectual property is one thing but really designing and working with production partners to turn those efforts into physical chips is a totally different arena. It’s more capital intensive,” a former Arm executive with knowledge of the effort told the FT. “At some point in the future [Arm] will definitely need returns to justify that massive investment.” SoftBank’s push for growth has led Arm to seek out changes to its commercial practices. The chip designer has sought to increase prices and overhaul its business model by charging royalties to device-makers rather than some of its chipmaker customers, the FT reported last month. Recommended Arm Ltd SoftBank’s Masayoshi Son set to sign off on Nasdaq listing for Arm Arm acknowledged in its annual report published last week that a principal risk to its business was the “significant concentration” in its customer base. Arm’s top 20 customers accounted for 86 per cent of revenues last year, so “the loss of a small number of key customers could significantly impact the group’s growth”. That warning came with Arm currently embroiled in a bitter legal dispute with Qualcomm, one of its largest customers, after it accused the chipmaker of using some of its designs without having procured the necessary licence. There are also widespread concerns in the industry that in-house chips developed by Apple, Arm’s largest customer, are outperforming those made by competitors such as Qualcomm and MediaTek. “Google thought it could demonstrate the world’s best Android OS so it built the Pixel phone. Microsoft thought it was the master of Windows so it built Surface laptops. So, naturally, Arm thinks it can build best-in-class Arm-based chips, better than chip developers out there,” said Brady Wang, a semiconductor analyst with Counterpoint Research. But making chips is even more challenging than building devices, Wang said. “It will need generation after generation of development efforts.” Additional reporting by Christian Davies in Seoul Copyright.

Talking of Synsense, I’m still thinking something has happened with them and iniVation. It’s common knowledge they both worked together to produce “Speck” . They advertise it on all their different pages. Yet at CES 2023, iniVation release their new shiniest and brightest neuromorphic image processor , Aeveon , and I am yet to find any article or anything which links or mentions any Synsense involvement.

Mmmh, I wonder why, of all animals, iniVation would pick an image of a kangaroo to illustrate the key features of their all-new Aeveon sensor technology…
For a company based in Switzerland, obvious choices would have been a dairy cow, an Alpine ibex, a chamois, an Alpine marmot or a golden eagle.
Of course it could be mere coincidence or even a red herring. But how probable is that?

Edit: Right after hitting the send button, it occurred to me that this might be a wallaby rather than a roo… Sorry!

Pioneers in neuromorphic vision​

​

The founders of iniVation invented the field of neuromorphic vision, which mimics key features of the human visual system. Our patented Dynamic Vision Sensor (DVS) transmits binary pixel-level change events, at microsecond time resolution. This approach is equivalent to a high-speed camera at thousands of frames per second – but with far less data. The advantages include:​

• High speed (equivalent 10k+ fps) and very low latency (< 1 ms)​

• High dynamic range (over 120 dB)​

• Longer battery life​

• Reduced data rate​

Aeveon™ – Redefining vision sensing​

​

With our all-new Aeveon™technology, we are changing the game again. A new Adaptive Event Vision™ unified pixel architecture enables every pixel to generate multiple types of events:​

• Binary change events as with the legacy DVS​

• Multi-bit change events​

• Full frame readout​

• Region events​

A state-of-the-art stacked sensor design with massively parallel Adaptive Event Cores produces a rich, highly compressed output stream. It combines the speed advantages of legacy DVS with the high fidelity of frame-based sensors.​

​

Key Features​

​

Lossless image reconstruction using adaptive multi-bit events.​

​

Multiple dynamic regions of interest (ROIs) enable valuable bandwidth to be focused on the most critical regions of the scene, and updated on-the-fly.​

​

On-sensor fast lossless compression, based on regions and motion information, saving up to 80% data.​

​

Self-adapting smart pixels provide native high-dynamic range (HDR) output and minimize noise, particularly in low light.​

​

Real world integration features​

Anti Flicker​

Remove artefacts caused by illumination variation​

Improve quality for consumer imaging and automotive​

​

Small pixel size enables high resolution​

Stacked design enables pixels down to 1.5 µm or less​

Full 1:1 events or frames from every pixel​

Flexible architecture​

Can be used directly with custom pixels (infrared, automotive, etc.)​

Software compatibility​

Works with all existing frame-based and event-based vision software​

Protect your software investment​
