BRN Discussion Ongoing

[Diogenese]

Revisiting the press release for Akida 2, can we expect Renesas to take out a new licence for Akida 2?

“We see an increasing demand for real-time, on-device, intelligence in AI applications powered by our MCUs and the need to make sensors smarter for industrial and IoT devices,” said Roger Wendelken, Senior Vice President in Renesas’ IoT and Infrastructure Business Unit. “We licensed Akida neural processors because of their unique neuromorphic approach to bring hyper-efficient acceleration for today’s mainstream AI models at the edge. With the addition of advanced temporal convolution and vision transformers, we can see how low-power MCUs can revolutionize vision, perception, and predictive applications in wide variety of markets like industrial and consumer IoT and personalized healthcare, just to name a few.”

There was something published about their own in-house DRP-AI recently. DRP-AI uses MACs.

Morning fellow brners, great posts!

I will do some research over the weekend when im back at work but in the meantime picked up this little beauty and only fitting i open it at $3.89.
Bring it on BRN

@MDhere from my point of view, apart from perhaps very, very rare cases, there is no one moment for a special wine.

I see it more as the time is always right when I have the leisure and peace to enjoy it and also to appreciate it, because nobody can know how long everything will go well.
In my opinion there is a danger that by waiting and waiting the opportunity passes and the moment to enjoy the nectar of the sun is gone. We can never know when our time is up and therefore the wine will sadly outlive us. So pop the cork when the opportunity is good. At least that's how I see it for myself. Life is too short anyway. At least at my home wine doesn't get better through long ageing because there is no storage

This is an exciting packaging for a very good wine. May the rocket rise soon!

 

[Diogenese]

Interesting and thank you for both! I understand this post much faster than your first answer regarding AMD where I am still trying to guess if we have two new serious competitors with AMD and Samsung or not.
Here is the answer:

The Bin number represents the Batch Identification Number. Bearing no relation to quality or price, the number refers to the area in the cellars where the wines were historically stored.

I'll have a look later to see what big wine my Aussie shop has to offer this time. It's just a small shop and he gets a special bottle for me every now and then. Most people are too stingy for good alcohol LoL - cough.
I can then compare it with a wine from Napa Valley CA from the Duckhorn winery that I received as a gift yesterday. The first wine from the USA for me. Wines from there are almost impossible to get here. I am curious.
But it's already clear to me personally that your Shiraz from Down Under tastes far better than any Syrah I've tasted from France, where the grape originally comes from.
I'm digressing off-topic and have to continue reading here in the thread. I still have a few pages to go. Back to business. But thanks again for your insight into both topics!
Luckily the weekend starts in a few hours

They are serious in that they're big, but they are big and stupid.

Samsung thinks NPUs include a processor with instructions

US2021004663A1 NEURAL NETWORK DEVICE AND METHOD OF QUANTIZING PARAMETERS OF NEURAL NETWORK 20190704

[0079] Referring to FIG. 5B, the neural processing unit (or, a processor) 113 may include a control circuit 171 , a logic circuit 172 , an embedded memory 173 and a register 174 .

[0080] The control circuit 171 controls overall operations of the processor 113 . The control circuit 171 may control flows of instructions and data for quantizing parameters of the neural network.

[0081] The embedded memory 173 may store the instructions and the data of the processor 113 . The register 174 may store the quantized N-bit fixed-point type of asymmetric input data and the quantized N-bit floating-point type of weights provided from the result register 136 .

[0082] The logic circuit 172 may be connected to the register 174 and may apply the quantized N-bit fixed-point type of asymmetric input data and the quantized N-bit floating-point type of weights to the neural network to generate a quantized neural network QNN.

Got anything more up to date……we all know about the EQXX from 2022!…….and it was a great endorsement from MB.

The new CLA concept is going to be using NVIDIA and is the reason for the ’water-cooled’ chip…….and the chip-to-cloud processing.

Now unless you can find any evidence that Akida will be used for processing data at the edge of the sensors in the CLA concept…..then all you have is ‘Hope’.

Akida will be used extensively in future MB models……..just not in this one…..it’s too early for us.

hit me with your condescending and patronising memes….i’m read

Umm…I wasn’t being condescending, I was merely responding to your RUDE insinuation that I was spreading BS. I was simply advising you to contact Daimler directly if you have an issue with the information that has been published by them.

While you‘re at it, why not drop Markus Shafer a comment on his LinkedIn as well, to see if he can retract his “In the Loop” blog on the benefits of neuromorphic computing? Maybe tell him not to do a follow up on it, as has been promised.

And don’t expect me to waste my time providing readily available information to you on Mercedes and BrainChip‘s collaborations and reported achievements to date when they’re so readily available.

For more recent information, including my thoughts on CLA Class, just look back at my previous posts from the last few days.

Nighty-night.

Here's a thought:

If an object moving at close to light speed passes between a pair of opposed mirrors, would each reflection show the object in different places at one instant?

I think your assumption is correct because the crazy fast object must have traveled a certain distance in the time it takes for the light to travel from one mirror to the other. If you could take a picture of the scenery at that moment the two mirrors would have to show a different image of the object or at a different position. But my understanding is absolutely relative.

I think it's a hint of his future work and genuine interest in Humanity.

He has already shown/sowed the seeds of his philanthropic work, when he donated 3.5 million shares to the Lions Alzheimer's Foundation, in June 2022.

A huge gift, from the CTO of a start up company, that was "sold" by the investor website Simply Wall St, as a negative! As a Company director selling shares on market.
(still gets my goat).

They have all the upstandingness and deservedness of respect, as the Fools, in my opinion.


Peter Van der Made, is going to be extremely wealthy in the future.
And I think he will become a Great philanthropist.

Okay, I'll bite

I think it depends entirely, on the perceptual abilities, of the "Observer".

This is a very insightful read , we are certainly in with a big chance of becoming a tech giant!!!

Why RISC-V support is a big deal for Qualcomm and Android

Arm's had a stranglehold on mobile processors forever, but increasing momentum behind the RISC-V ISA could change that — to everyone's benefit

www.androidpolice.com

And then there's the recent news that caught even more consumers' eyes than the 2022 rumors of upcoming RISC-V smartphones. Qualcomm's October 2023 announcement that it was collaborating with Google to design its first mass-market RISC-V chipset, in this case for powerful, efficient Wear OS smartwatches, brought renewed excitement to the industry. But that's not even the most recent development, as in November 2023, Tokyo-based Renesas Electronics Corporation became the first company to announce a fully developed, 32-bit, general-purpose RISC-V CPU core.

BrainChip demonstrates its neuromorphic processor on Microchip’s 32-bit MPU at CES 2024​

Jan 11, 2024 | Abhishek Jadhav
CATEGORIES Edge Computing News | Hardware

BrainChip, a neuromorphic computing device provider, will present a demonstration featuring its Akida neuromorphic processor operating on Microchips’ embedded platform at CES 2024. This will utilize two evaluation boards, namely Microchip’s SAMv71 Ultra board and SAMA7G54-EK board, with a particular focus on showcasing the efficiency of the Akida neuromorphic processor when integrated with a 32-bit microprocessor unit. BrainChip aims to highlight its capabilities in always-on machine learning tasks, including keyword spotting and visual wake words.
“We look forward to demonstrating the potential and ease of integrating Akida for always-on machine learning applications on embedded devices at CES,” says Rob Telson, vice president of Ecosystem and Partnerships at BrainChip.

Neuromorphic computing systems are designed to execute parallel and distributed processing, mimicking the neural structure and functioning of the human brain. BrainChip Akida is an example of such a neuromorphic computing processor, which is designed for edge applications. It operates on an event-based principle, remaining dormant until activated, thereby reducing power consumption.
The integration of Akida with Microchip’s 32-bit microprocessor unit shows the advanced AI capabilities of the neuromorphic computing system when deployed on small embedded hardware. The demonstration holds significant relevance for the embedded systems market, where the combination of AI functionalities with traditional MPUs opens up new avenues for exploring the smart and connected market landscape.
“In this collaborative showcase with BrainChip, we will illustrate how our customers can leverage the advantages of next-generation AI to enable low-power, high-performance machine learning applications on our embedded platforms,” says Rod Drake, corporate vice president of MPU32 and MCU32 business units at Microchip.
BrainChip recently unveiled a strategic partnership with Unigen to introduce an energy-efficient edge AI server powered by the Akida neuromorphic processor. Unigen emphasizes its compact form factor but can still handle complex AI applications at the edge, leveraging the data processing capabilities of Akida.
