Edge computing spending set to skyrocket as AI takes hold​

New figures from IDC have predicted a potentially colossal growth in edge computing spend over the coming years in light of increasing AI adoption.

Edge computing is quickly emerging as an important element in an evolving technological landscape, and the integration of AI applications into edge infrastructure is said to be the primary driver behind the projected growth.

IDC’s projections suggest that edge computing spending could reach $350 billion by 2027, surpassing earlier estimates.


Edge computing is set for a spending boom​

Dave McCarthy, research vice president, Cloud and Edge Services at IDC, highlighted the pivotal role of edge computing in AI deployment: “To meet scalability and performance requirements, organizations will need to adopt the distributed approach to architecture that edge computing provides.”

The forecasted growth is based on 500 enterprise use cases across 19 enterprise industries and six domains.

According to current trends, multi-access edge computing (MEC), content delivery networks, and virtual network functions are expected to account for around one-fifth (22%) of all edge spending this year.
Marcus Torchia, research vice president, Data & Analytics at IDC, added: “Enterprise investments have continued to shift the past 24 months toward infrastructure expansion and greenfield deployments. Companies are acting on plans to build more robust local computing infrastructure capabilities.”
IDC anticipates substantial five-year compound annual growth rates (CAGRs) in the low-to-mid teens for the 19 industries surveyed, and a 19.1% CAGR for the service provider segment.
Looking ahead, IDC forecasts a focus on emerging edge use cases, including augmented reality, artificial intelligence, and autonomous operations.
The market intelligence company also notes the concentration of investment across North America, Western Europe, and China, whereby North America alone is expected to account for around two-fifths (40%) of all spend, although growth is also expected across Africa and the Middle East.

Try weight, size, one or few shot learning and there's that thing of low power consumption.
Taking what you say a little further @McHale as we have seen the evolution of the Space market will depend on technology that trumps size, weight and power (SWaP) budgets - they (the commercial space companies of the future) see only Akida as the solution ats. If we translate the advantage Akida has into terrestrial application then what kind of technology will eventually pervade and proliferate into our daily lives? One that has the SWaP advantage I would think 🤔 It’s not rocket science, to scale out into the smaller and lighter indeed even into tinier and tinier sensors SWaP will be essential. We will eventually own the market - it’s just a matter of time and we don’t really know how long a time. Suffice to say as markets are forward looking the share price should reflect that ownership sooner than it actually takes imo.

Great interrogation @chapman89.

So the 8-bit was for the CNN2SNN converter, which would have produced 4-bit weights for Akida 1000.

Just imagine the performance step up that Akida 2 with new features like TeNNs and ViT will bring for latency and power usage. They are gonna need a bigger graph.

This is a good example of what is coming and the merging of space industry to the real world.


DARPA is planning for a future where tens of thousands of satellites from multiple private sector organizations deliver broadband services from low earth orbit (LEO). The goal of Space-BACN is to create an “internet” of satellites, enabling seamless communication between military/government and commercial/civil satellite constellations.

These will be operating where conditions will need efficiency and you can see how the current space mission akida is on is around self operable robots to repair satellites.

At those speeds having data centres in orbit and akida making them efficient is a match made in space.

Morning Chippers ,

Have to say it would be nice to have this company onboard , thay also dabble in turbine jet engins , so plenty of scope for sensor integration / data analytics.

Esq.

Was that an umbrella that pops out of the door pillar? 🤔..

And "suicide" doors on a modern car?
Do they know how they got that name?..
(Edit - Rolls Royce are a big fan..)

There are so many gimmicks in that car, it's incredulous..

Afternoon DingoBorat,

Yep , umbrella compartment.... alternately I'd keep my deluxe extra large cigar there , I'm shaw if one asked that space could be converted to a humidifier.

Once saw one of these wagons with a fitted chilled champagne & crystal flute's compartment in the boot , highly impractical but hay , if one is spending 600k upwards who cares.

Esq.

I would bloody well hope so! They said acquisition which = bought or obtained so a material announcement I would think will be Monday morning to satisfy the ASX rules if a financial contract is written unless we've all misunderstood that post.

Being a wog, and knowing enough about the Greek language, I'd assume they meant bought/purchased when they used the word acquisition. I hope I'm wrong, but I also know that Greeks (in Greece) cant even say the word sugar....... "tsuga"(tsooga)... :)

Brainchip is going to be part of the technology showcase at the “A Future by Design” event in Perth on Friday, which is being promoted as “Western Australia’s thought leadership event in exponential technologies and innovation with world renowned thought leaders, national and local experts” that “brings Silicon Valley thought leadership to WA”.

It would be awesome to additionally have someone from the Brainchip Perth team participate in one of the interactive panel discussions. Since the list of speakers includes recent additions, maybe there is still the chance of being considered, if so desired?

Hi Esq.

actually, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Ltd, the present-day manufacturer of luxury automobiles with the iconic front grille and Spirit of Ecstasy bonnet mascot (https://www.press.rolls-roycemotorc...the-human-drama-behind-the-legend?language=en) and Rolls-Royce Holdings plc are two completely separate companies, despite their similar names and emblems.

In 1973, Rolls-Royce Motors (now defunct), was separated out of Rolls-Royce Ltd (which had been nationalised in 1971). But to make things even more complicated: Today’s company Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Ltd is not even a direct successor of that original automobile company associated with class, prestige and luxury, but a totally new company founded in 1998, which has been a wholly owned subsidiary of BMW AG for the past two decades!

By the way, the story of the Rolls-Royce marque is a reminder of how important IP due diligence is…

Here is a good overview of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars vs Rolls-Royce plc (and indeed, both could benefit from Akida… 😉). The reason the 2020 summary doesn’t mention that super-luxurious Spectre EV model in the video you shared, is that it did not go into production until 2023.


ROLLS-ROYCE MOTOR CARS AND ROLLS-ROYCE PLC ARE TWO DIFFERENT COMPANIES!​

ROLLS-ROYCE MOTOR CARS​

People seem to keep getting Rolls-Royce Motor Cars and Rolls-Royce plc confused, so here's a rundown of the differences and history!

ROLLS-ROYCE MOTOR CARS
Rolls-Royce Motor Cars is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the BMW Group. The company is the world’s leading luxury manufacturer based at The Home of Rolls-Royce at Goodwood, near Chichester, West Sussex, which comprises its global headquarters and Global Centre of Luxury Manufacturing Excellence – the only place in the world where Rolls-Royce motor cars are hand-crafted.


Production began on 1 January 2003 with the world’s pinnacle luxury product, Phantom. The range has since expanded to include Ghost, Wraith, Dawn, Cullinan and their Black Badge counterparts. An all-new Ghost is due to be launched later this year. The company has customers in more than 50 countries worldwide attended by a network of Rolls-Royce dealerships. Total sales in 2019 exceeded 5,000 cars. Over 2,000 people are employed at The Home of Rolls-Royce.

ROLLS-ROYCE PLC
Rolls-Royce plc is a leading industrial technology company with manufacturing facilities around the world employing some 52,000 people. Its head office is in London with main operations in Derby, UK; Bristol, UK; Indianapolis, US; Dahlewitz, Germany; Friedrichshafen, Germany; and Singapore. Originally founded in 1906, Rolls-Royce Ltd was nationalised in 1971, becoming Rolls-Royce 1971 Ltd., initially including the Motor Car Division. The Motor Car Division was floated as a separate company in 1973, and became Rolls-Royce Motors Holdings Ltd, which traded as Rolls-Royce Motors. Rolls-Royce 1971 Ltd. was privatised in 1987, becoming Rolls-Royce plc.

Rolls-Royce plc designs and manufactures engines for civil aerospace and military aircraft and ships. Its Power Systems business unit, based in Friedrichshafen, Germany, designs and manufactures engines for a range of land and marine applications including power generation.
Rolls-Royce plc has customers in more than 150 countries, comprising more than 400 airlines and leasing customers, 160 armed forces, 70 navies, and more than 5,000 power and nuclear customers. For the last 60 years it has also designed, supplied and supported the nuclear propulsion plant that provides power for all of the UK Royal Navy's nuclear submarines.

In January 2017, Rolls-Royce plc reached agreement with investigating authorities in the UK, US and Brazil relating to its activities in a number of overseas markets. On 20 May 2020, Rolls-Royce plc announced 9,000 job losses worldwide, predominantly in its Civil Aerospace business, in response to the medium-term reduction in demand for civil aerospace engines and services resulting from the Covid-19 pandemic.

Maybe the golden arches will need to take a leaf out of GMAC's book:

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-03-16/mcdonalds-system-outage-technology-double-down/103596848
  • In short: McDonald's suffered a global systems outage on Friday evening, causing restaurants across Australia to turn away customers.
  • The tech troubles are unlikely to slow the fast-food giant's adoption of new technology, including artificial intelligence.
  • What's next? McDonald's is continuing to push for more customers to order through digital avenues like its app and its self-serve kiosks.
...
McDonald's mobile app; its human-less, order-taking kiosks; its digitised menus that change based on trends, the weather and more; and even its generative AI — together, these enable McDonald's to eke out additional sales and efficiencies worth billions of dollars to the company, which has 40,000 locations in roughly 100 countries.
...
McDonald's said in a statement the outage was caused by an unnamed third-party provider during a "configuration change".

McDonald's Australia on Friday evening apologised to customers for the inconvenience, and added that the issue was "not related to a cybersecurity event".

Just to illustrate the landscape here. I just heart about it. The satellite can decide for itself onboard and what it sends back to earth. The images are still being analysed in the satellite. Only the relevant data is sent. It can decide independently on it's own whether to continue monitoring the area. I can't find any entry about this company here. So for the TSE archive.

They were launched with the same rocket.

"After a successful lift off from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California onboard SpaceX's Falcon 9 as part of the Transporter 10 mission, we received confirmation of the successful deployment of HAMMER from the Exolaunch deployer and, on first pass over the ground station, satellite operators at our Open Cosmos Control centre received a strong signal from the satellite and started downloading telemetry nominally."

Good article outlining NASAs desperate need to advance it's technology:


"NASA's supercomputing capabilities are insufficient for its tasks, which leads to mission delays. NASA's supercomputers still rely primarily on CPUs, and one of its flagship supercomputers uses 18,000 CPUs and 48 GPUs."

""HEC officials raised multiple concerns regarding this observation, stating that the inability to modernize NASA's systems can be attributed to various factors such as supply chain concerns, modern computing language (coding) requirements, and the scarcity of qualified personnel needed to implement the new technologies," the report says. "Ultimately, this inability to modernize its current HEC infrastructure will directly impact the Agency's ability to meet its exploration, scientific, and research goals."

"Additionally, the audit found that the security controls for the HEC infrastructure are often bypassed or not implemented, increasing the risk of cyber attacks."
