BRN Discussion Ongoing

[Fullmoonfever]

Can someone please explain what Alphacore. Inc. has to do with Akida's spot with NASA?

I'd hazard a guess it is driven around the hardware not so much SNN tech of their own imo.

If you search their site for neuromorphic there are no results but their solutions are around the hardware.

I've read other NASA papers and statements that 22nm FDSOI is what they prefer rad hardened.

They absolutely want neuromorphic processing but the radiation fries most hardware.

Maybe Alphacore are wanting to prove up the hardware and then NASA or whoever can implement the neuromorphic IP accordingly.

My thoughts anyway.

Standard boilerplate, but it is reassuring to know "that all care has been taken".
Meanwhile, over at the architects........

To further expand on my post now I have some time to grab the info.

The snips below are from a NASA paper Aug last year that outlines the RadNeuro Project that we know we have been involved in with other partners and the hardware issues.

NASA refers to neuromorphic chips / computing as NMC and can see why someone like Alphacore etc may want to get a rad hard chip in there....how our SNN IP would be affected (if at all)....above my pay grade @Diogenese

Sorry D...caught up with Chelsea again

Julian says "hi".

"The most important function to preserve in avionics is the memory, which suffers bit upsets that may not be detectable or correctable."

So there may be a place for MemRistors/ReRAM because they are more naturally rad-hard and do not store information in the same way as CMOS bits are stored.

In other words, a hybrid technology of CMOS on FDSOI and ReRAM may be a solution. Some of my almost fully depleted neurons keep spiking random scintillations of the ghostly outline of patents for such a hybrid circuit

This Intel patent contemplates using ReRAM with MOSFET/CMOS circuits:

WO2019005057A1 NON-VOLATILE LOGIC CIRCUIT EMPLOYING LOW-POWER MOSFET ENABLED BY NON-VOLATILE LATCHED OUTPUTS

Techniques are disclosed for forming a non-volatile hybrid logic circuit employing low-power MOSFET enabled by non-volatile latched outputs. The hybrid arrangement is able to achieve both circuit-level non-volatility and relatively lower power levels, neither of which can be attained using MOSFET/CMOS or non-volatile logic/memory elements on their own. Further, standard MOSFET/CMOS alone cannot be used with relatively low threshold voltages (VTs) due to leakage currents and lack of non-volatility during power gating, for example. Accordingly, the non-volatile elements of the hybrid circuit serve as flip-flops or register files to provide non-volatile latched outputs for preserving the state of the logic circuit even when not receiving power. Thus, in the hybrid circuit arrangement, low-VDD, low-VT MOSFET devices are operatively coupled with non-volatile logic/memory elements (e.g., spintronic devices, ferroelectric devices, magnetoresistive devices) to enable energy efficient, low-VDD, low-VT, non-volatile operation for a logic circuit.

the non-volatile element may include at least one of a spin-torque switched magnet, spin-hall effect- switched magnet, ferroelectric field-effect transistor (FeFET), ferroelectric capacitor, magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ), resistive random-access memory (ReRAM or RRAM), or magneto-electric-switched magnet.

Western Digital:

WO2023064005A1 HYBRID MEMORY MANAGEMENT OF NON-VOLATILE MEMORY (NVM) DEVICES FOR USE WITH RECURRENT NEURAL NETWORKS

Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) wherein a non-volatile memory (NVM) array provides a memory bank for the RNN. The RNN may include a Neural Turning Machine (NTM) and the memory bank may be an NTM matrix stored in the NVM array. In some examples, a data storage device (DSD) that controls the NVM array includes both a data storage controller and a separate NTM controller. The separate NTM controller accesses the NTM matrix of the NVM array directly while bypassing flash translation layer (FTL) components of the data storage controller. Additionally, various majority wins error detection and correction procedures are described, as well as various disparity count-based procedures.

Neural Turing Machines (NTMs), or more generally Memory Augmented Neural Networks (MANNs), are types of recurrent neural networks. An NTM has a neural network controller coupled to external memory resources with which the controller interacts using attentional mechanisms (e.g. mechanisms that focus the attention of the network on particular portions of data stored in the external memory). NTMs have the potential to accelerate the manner by which RNNs process information. There is an on-going need to provide improvements within NTMs, MANNs, and other RNNs, and with devices that are configured to implement NTMs, MANNs, and other RNNs.

I need one of those as an Esky to follow me round with my beers

[TECH]

With July fast approaching we enter the downhill slope to Christmas, this in my opinion is the real start of our journey
with regards, AKD 1500 and AKD 2.0 being released from our foundry partners, tested and re-tested by Anil and his team
of engineers, released to our EAP's for their final evaluation before deals are done and dusted, we as a company have done
everything possible to accommodate these "potential clients", this pattern cannot continue whereby they need to evaluate
AKD 3.0....the time has come to accept what has been created here, get those designs completed and get production of products
underway, Intel, IBM and others aren't on the same page as us...commit, lets get this brilliant technology rolling !

If what was quoted in a recent email from Antonio to one of our forum members, well that really says it all, potential clients investing
millions in developing products with Akida IP embedded, how can we lose, we have already won, they love the technology, time will
simply prove me and others right.

Exciting 18 months ahead....love Brainchip x Tech

If AM likes it; I like it too!

It’ll be interesting to see if MB patents involve Akida.

Interesting video.
Great to get an insight into the nature of the evolving auto business and how innovative mindsets disrupt given opportunity and frozen mindsets can get left in the dust over time.
Thanks for sharing.
