Great to see Brainchip top of the list. What a month.

Brainchip has been on a rocket ride with little in the form of company announcements to explain the move. As I've noted in the Interesting Moves section, it does kick off a major investor roadshow next week.

The run has bashed up against some substantial historical resistance in the form of 0.52. You can clearly see the impact of this level on the demand-supply environment in today's candle, more specifically, the long upward pointing shadow. Upward pointing shadows are the fingerprints of excess supply.

Otherwise, the short term uptrend (light green ribbon) is well-established and the long term trend appears to be transitioning from neutral to up. Support now moves to the last peak at 0.39.

Investors should be on the lookout for further supply-side showings around 0.52, for example black candles or upward pointing shadows. Otherwise, white candles and downward pointing shadows would indicate the demand-side remains very much in control, and in this case 0.61 is the next likely overhead resistance point.

On the other hand the Lapsang Souchong index indicates that stray floaters have escaped the strainer and met resistance from the teaspoon and splashed onto the cup and handle ...

That's not my cup of tea, but maybe for you. I saw that you were the last who posted this URL. Can you do anything with it? I couldn't find anything here using the keyword search for the Mentium Technologies or sub orbital either.
Maybe it is interesting. I'm closing the tab as this will take until 2026 anyway.

"Testing neuromorphic architectures for high capacity/low-power AI in Sub Orbital flight​

Project Description​

The technology is a radiation-hardened Artificial Intelligence (AI) inference accelerator. The system consists of a co-processor that is able to expand the AI capabilities of existing systems by orders of magnitudes while consuming less than 0.4W of power.

Anticipated Benefits​

Artificial Intelligence systems in space are significantly impacted by hardware limitations such as power, mass, and radiation protection. This technology has the potential to bring world-class efficiency of 50 TOPS/W efficiency, at 0.4W power consumption, revolutionizing onboard data analysis, sensor enhancement, and system autonomy, all with a radiation-hardened design."

But then it will probably come from Synopsys? I have no clue. That's really not my field. I can't get my head around who is doing what with whom for whom and so on; whomwhom. But ARM? I couldn't find them in Neuromorphia's ecosystem thread, which she has thankfully just updated. So I'll leave it here before I close the dab.

*For those of you who follow such things the first release of the AKIDA 2.0 specs indicated that 'P' would have a capacity of 50 TOPS however after it was in the hands of the early access customers some further upgrades by way of adding extra nodes were made lifting 'P' to 131 TOPS. It might be thought sensible to not race in and produce a proof of concept chip until you have settled on the IP design but I will leave that to others better qualified to say.

Hi cosors,

The number of nodes has always been flexible. Even Akida 1 was made with less than the maximum possible number of nodes/NPEs.

https://brainchip.com/akida-generations/

Akida 2E can have 1 or 2 nodes

Akida 2S can have from 3 to 8 nodes, and

Akida 2P can have from 8 to 256 nodes.

Interestingly VIT is only available as an option with Akida 2P.

I may be wrong, but didn't Akida 1 SoC have 80 nodes although the IP was capable of supporting up to 256 nodes? I guess the 256 limitation is down to the mesh network interconnecting the nodes.

So making Akida 2P capable of having 256 nodes (1024 NPEs) means that BRN contemplates Akida 2P being capable of some serious heavy lifting, not that I can think of any application which would require that capacity ...?

Two Indian gentlemen were having a discussion on a bus and were overheard by a lady in the next seat.

1st gentleman: "It's spelt whoomb".

2nd gentleman: "No, no, no. It's spelt woombh."

The lady turned around and said: "Perhaps I can be of assistance. The correct spelling is womb".

"Goodness gracious me!" the gentlemen declared in unison "When did you ever hear a hippopotamus fart under water?"

Excerpt...

On the other hand, we are still to see full-scale development with the billions of neurons - the hardware complexity and power consumption challenges are yet to be solved at scale. There is also very little by way of programming techniques or algorithms that utilize the abilities of the hardware design. Many aspects are still being researched. My colleagues at TCS are researching spike encoding for gesture recognition applications, for example.

What do you expect? They call themselves the fools of investing and have just discovered HC for fundamental analysis for their paid! accounts through this candidate and author here.

What's going on with them? I've just had a look at their website. On the one hand I wonder what has become of pickle and his favorite stock, I mean us. And on the other hand I see that they are churning out superficial articles in bulk. Is that what all the fools do? Who pays for that? I mean, today alone he has cobbled together 18 articles, if he even knows what's all about.
When he was still writing about us I at least had the feeling that he was taking it personally. Now he produces articles in mass. Are they paid per article?
Seriously, who works for a place like that voluntarily and who puts money on their table?
I picked out an article that recommended buying shares before a next week. And at the bottom it says quite clearly and obvious why. They hold the stocks that they recommend in this article!

MF contributor pickle has positions in Lovisa and Woodside Energy Group. The MF Australia's parent company MF Holdings Inc. has positions in and has recommended Lovisa, Macquarie Group, and WiseTech Global. The MF Australia has positions in and has recommended Macquarie Group and WiseTech Global. The MF Australia has recommended Lovisa. The MF has a disclosure policy. This article contains general investment advice only (under AFSL 400691). Authorised by who cares.

And I think they're serious about it. I need to wash my eyes.

Seriously, I think pickle has problems. While his colleague tonyoo casually generates two or three articles per day, pickle has to produce on an assembly line. Is he in financial mess?
who cares

Give me your signature and I'll tell you the best way to invest $1000, which I was told in confidence by my stealth under cover avatar colleague in a super exclusive secret forum.

INTEL CEO PAT GELSINGER:
Intel also wants to produce AMD processors
An AMD CPU from Intel? What seems unlikely at the moment could make sense for both companies in the medium term.
22. Februar 2024, 16:41 Uhr, Martin Böckmann

AMD processors from Intel? This might be less absurd than it seems.

During a question and answer session at yesterday's IFS event, Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger answered positively the question about future production for arch-rival AMD. Intel Foundry is intended to become a “world foundry” that is available to all companies worldwide and makes the entire product portfolio available. This includes Jensen (Nvidia), Satya (Microsoft) and Lisa (AMD).

The goal of the foundry team is to utilize the factories to capacity, said Gelsinger. Pat Gelsinger does not see the conflict of interest suspected by Paul Alcorn (Tomshardware) in the event of a better AMD design, which could become a better product thanks to Intel's leading manufacturing process.

Intel Foundry has already been spun off into its own legally separate company, which will also publish business figures separately in the future. This does not fundamentally change the competitive relationship between the development departments at Intel and AMD; it is only possible for both manufacturers to have their products manufactured using the same manufacturing process.

Colorful mix of chiplets possible
Gelsinger also expects that other manufacturers will also use Intel products directly in the future, even if they have a better product in other areas. For example, it would be possible to build a chip with Intel tiles, but I/O, security or graphics chips from a different manufacturer, or as in the case of Meteor Lake, even from a different foundry.

Gelsinger reiterated the openness to competing companies in a later answer to another question: "I want my factory to be used by everyone, period. We want to help Nvidia build chips and AMD, TPU chips for Google and also inference chips for Amazon. We want to help them and we want to provide them with the most powerful, high-performance and efficient technology for their systems."
