BRN Discussion Ongoing

[Teach22]

The cut-off time in the closing auction is supposed to be set by a random number generator between 1 & 60 seconds after 4.10 It is astounding how often in the auction the final transaction is just one share that just happens to drop the price by half a cent. The timing is fantastic. Level playing field. my arse.

It’s even more astounding the number of posts we see on this matter…..

....................... quality will be the same, as Mercedes Benz will just put their badge on a chinese built EV in the years to come.
Apart from Tesla, all European/American brands will be chinese EVs badged in their own colours. Sad reality unfolding now.

Yeah… for sure.. and Mullen will buy them all right?

Surely this has got to be good for us?

The edge-native software platform simplifies development, deployment and management of edge AI applications.
BARCELONA, Spain, February 26, 2024--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Intel (Nasdaq: INTC):
What’s New: At MWC 2024, Intel announced its new Edge Platform, a modular, open software platform enabling enterprises to develop, deploy, run, secure, and manage edge and AI applications at scale with cloud-like simplicity. Together, these capabilities will accelerate time-to-scale deployment for enterprises, contributing to improved total cost of ownership (TCO).
"The edge is the next frontier of digital transformation, being further fueled by AI. We are building on our strong customer base in the market and consolidating our years of software initiatives to the next level in delivering a complete edge-native platform, which is needed to enable infrastructure, applications and efficient AI deployments at scale. Our modular platform is exactly that, driving optimal edge infrastructure performance and streamlining application management for enterprises, giving them both improved competitiveness and improved total cost of ownership."

– Pallavi Mahajan, Intel corporate vice president and general manager of Network and Edge Group Software
Why It Matters: The amount of compute happening at the edge is growing fast because that is where data is generated. In addition, many edge computing deployments are incorporating AI. At the edge, businesses need to automate for many reasons: to achieve pricing competitiveness, to relieve the effects of labor shortages, to expand innovation, to add efficiency, to improve time to market and to deliver new services.
However, working at the edge is often complex and challenging for a variety of reasons:

• Difficulty building performant edge AI solutions with high return on investment (ROI) across a range of use cases in a specific industry.
• The diversity of hardware, software and even power requirements at the edge.
• Lack of secure and cost-effective methods to move and utilize high data volumes required by AI at the edge while maintaining low latency.
• Increasingly complex operations management of distributed edge devices and applications at scale.

Use cases – with examples including defect detection and preventive maintenance in industrial facilities, frictionless checkout and inventory management in retail, and traffic management and emergency safety in smart cities/transportation – typically require advanced networking and AI analytics at the edge with low latency, locality and cost requirements to meet stringent real-world needs. Additionally, a mix of on-premises analytics with aggregation and placement of some AI processing in the cloud to manage global deployment locations is common. These hybrid AI scenarios require a software platform built to handle them.
And while custom solutions to challenges are available today, they are often built on closed systems and specialized hardware. This makes integrating legacy systems and adding new use cases both costly and time-consuming.
How Intel’s Edge Platform Empowers Enterprises: The open, modular platform will enable ready-made solutions across industries. By leveraging Intel’s edge experience and broad ecosystem to make the most in-demand edge use cases available, enterprises can purchase a complete solution or build their own in existing environments. Enterprise developers can build edge-native AI applications on new or existing infrastructure, and they can manage edge solutions end-to-end for their specific use cases.
The platform provides infrastructure management and AI application development capabilities that can integrate into existing software stacks via open standards.
About Edge-Native Infrastructure: The platform’s edge infrastructure has built-in OpenVINO™ AI inference runtime for edge AI as well as a secure, policy-based automation of IT and OT management tasks. Intel’s OpenVINO has evolved over the past five years to help developers optimize applications for low latency, low power and deployment on existing hardware specifically at the edge, enabling standard hardware already deployed to run AI applications efficiently without costly upgrades or refactoring.
The platform has a single dashboard that enables IT and DevOps personnel to provision, onboard and manage a fleet of edge nodes, including edge servers, industrial controls, HMI devices and others. This is accomplished securely and remotely with zero touch, across day 0/1/2 operations.
Furthermore, closed-loop automation enables operators to leverage policies and observability to trigger business logic from operational alerts at the edge, optimizing operations across the network and improving TCO.
Deep, heterogeneous hardware awareness gives best-in-class capabilities to allocate resources for optimal efficiency, as well as zero-trust security features co-developed for Intel architecture.
About Edge AI + Applications Capabilities: The platform will provide enterprise developers with access to powerful AI capabilities and tools, including:

• Finely tunable application orchestration for remotely placing latency-sensitive workloads on exactly the right device for best application performance.
• Powerful low-code to high-code AI model/app development with hybrid AI capabilities from the edge to cloud.
• A range of horizontal edge services like data annotation services that leverage Intel® Geti™ to build AI models, as well as vertical industry-specific edge services to improve results in common industrial use cases using video and time series information and digital twin capabilities to track and manage environments.

About Intel’s Role in Proven Partner Ecosystem: Intel’s Edge Platform will come to market with industry leaders and broad ecosystem support that includes Amazon Web Services, Lenovo, L&T Technology Services, Red Hat, SAP, Vericast, Verizon Business and Wipro.

[IloveLamp]

Hi ILL,

This is an exciting find.

Fact Finder recently reminded us that Akida 2P was expanded from 80 nodes to 256 nodes maximum.

I think that this will be useful for LLMs and, in addition, for AI acceleration in cloud servers.

I've picked the eyes out of the article for support for the idea of Akida 2P in the cloud, but the whole article is well worth reading:

• #78,889

https://www.eetimes.com/arm-updates-css-designs-for-hyperscalers-custom-chips/


CSSes are Arm’s oven-ready designs that combine key SoC elements to give customers a head start when designing custom SoCs. Arm also has an ecosystem of design partners to help with implementation, if required. The overall aim is to make the path to custom silicon faster and more accessible. The recently announced Microsoft Cobalt 100 is based on second-gen CSS (specifically, CSS-N2).

...
Awad said hyperscalers choose Arm because the availability of CSSes means custom solutions can be created quickly and combined with Arm’s robust ecosystem.
“What we’re hearing from everywhere is that, generally speaking for hyperscalers and many of these OEMs, general-purpose compute is just not keeping up, meaning an off-the-shelf SoC is not keeping up,” he said. “We’re really optimistic about [CSSes] and we’ve seen tremendous traction with these platforms.”
The driver for hyperscalers’ desire to build their own chips is undoubtedly AI.
Awad said Arm has customers running AI inference at scale on Arm-based CPUs, in part down to the cost of custom accelerators, and in part down to their availability. (The market-leading data center GPU, Nvidia H100, is in notoriously short supply.) CPUs are widely available and very affordable compared with other options, he said.


...
Arm also expects its CSS designs to be used in tightly-coupled CPU-plus–accelerator designs, analogous to Nvidia Grace Hopper, which is optimized for memory capacity and bandwidth, Awad said.
CSSes don’t just work for hyperscalers; they can also support smaller companies, particularly through the Arm Total Design ecosystem of design partners, he said.
“[Smaller] companies are looking to get to market as quickly as possible to launch their solutions to capture market share, to establish themselves,” he said. “They’re also looking for a level of flexibility so that they can focus their innovation, and then they obviously need the performance to run some of these workload
Collaborative relationship
With CSS, Arm takes responsibility for configuring, optimizing and validating a compute subsystem so the hyperscaler can focus on system-level workload-specific differentiation they care about, whether that’s software tuning, custom acceleration, or something else, said Dermot O’Driscoll, vice president of product solutions for Arm’s infrastructure line of business.
“They get faster time to market, they reduce the cost of engineering, and yet they take advantage of the same leading edge processor technology,” he said. “We created the CSS program to give customers the same kind of control of the silicon stack as they have over their software and system stacks today. This is a close collaborative relationship and our partners push us really hard to raise our game.”

...
The CSS-N3 offers a 20% performance-per-Watt improvement per core over the CSS-N2. This CSS design comes with between 8 and 32 cores, with the 32-core version using as little as 40 W. It’s intended for telecoms, networking, DPU, and cloud applications and can be used with on-chip or separate AI accelerators. The new N3 core is based on Armv9.2 and includes 2 MB private L2 cache per core. It supports the latest versions of PCIe, CXL and UCIe.

Hmmmmnnn !! more shorts taken on Friday


View attachment 57884
View attachment 57886

BrainChip will always be shorted, so don't worry..

I'd be interested to know, how many of the current shorts are underwater, or sitting on "paper losses"..

Globally, the figure quoted, for bets against the Semiconductor Industry, would have to now be around 10 Billion US dollars (NVIDIA's recent surge added 3 Billion).

Paper losses, of course means, those losses haven't yet been "realised".

So, you may think that's not so bad..
But the thing is, they can just get worse, if the A.I. Bull Market continues (which is really only just getting started)..

There are those, that would have already covered and repositioned, or changed strategy, but regardless, they still contributed to that rise, with their own brand of A.I...

A.I.B. or Artificially Increased Buying, as they are "forced" to buy, or lose more.

I believe many of the shorts, were already well in the money, at 16 cents, but there just wasn't the volume to convert.

Now the volume's there, but most/many, would be selling at a loss.

Part of our current re-rate, which has already had more than significant churn (a good thing) at these levels, is due to their A.I.B. on top of already strong demand.

Things are looking up

He added that to achieve this vision, Microsoft needs "a reliable supply of the most advanced, high-performance and high-quality semiconductors," and said "that’s why we are so excited to work with Intel Foundry, and why we have chosen a chip design that we plan to produce on Intel 18A process.”


The deal with Microsoft could help Intel establish itself as a leading foundry while providing Microsoft with the necessary hardware to run its AI tech.


Intel said that Intel Foundry’s expected lifetime deal value is greater than $15 billion in total across its wafer and advanced packaging segments.

Intel Announces Arm Collaboration​

Intel also announced a partnership with chip designer Arm for Intel Foundry to provide cutting-edge foundry services for Arm-based system-on-chips (SoCs).


The companies said they will make co-investments and Arm will provide IP at scale to "fuel this next wave of innovation."


Arm shares have gained close to 80% this year as the chip designer caught investors' attention as a major benefactor of the AI boom.
