BRN Discussion Ongoing

Energy required to power AI data centres really becoming an issue as we all know.........edge computing must be compelling for these AI giants

Microsoft signs historic nuclear power deal to fuel AI data centres

The owner of the infamous Three Mile Island nuclear plant in the US has announced a $1.6 billion plan to restart part of the operation to power a series

"OpenAI has pitched the Biden administration on the need for massive data centers that could each use as much power as entire cities, framing the unprecedented expansion as necessary to develop more advanced artificial intelligence models and compete with China.

Following a recent meeting at the White House, which was attended by OpenAI Chief Executive Officer Sam Altman and other tech leaders, the startup shared a document with government officials outlining the economic and national security benefits of building 5 gigawatt data centers in various US states, based on an analysis the company engaged with outside experts on. To put that in context, 5 GW is roughly the equivalent of five nuclear reactors, or enough to power almost 3 million homes."

Robust Iterative Value Conversion: Deep Reinforcement Learning for Neurochip-driven Edge Robots​

A neurochip is a device that reproduces the signal processing mechanisms of brain neurons and calculates Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs) with low power consumption and at high speed. Thus, neurochips are attracting attention from edge robot applications, which suffer from limited battery capacity

[2408.13018] Robust Iterative Value Conversion: Deep Reinforcement Learning for Neurochip-driven Edge Robots

We verified RIVC's effectiveness on a neurochip-driven robot. The results showed that RIVC consumed 1/15 times less power and increased the calculation speed by five times more than an edge CPU (quad-core ARM Cortex-A72)

RICV:
5.1.1. Entire Experiment Settings
This section describes the construction of the proposed framework shown in
Fig. 2. We utilized a desktop PC equipped with a GPU (Nvidia RTX3090) for
updating the policies and an Akida Neural Processor SoC as a neurochip [9, 12].
The robot was controlled by the policies implemented in the neurochip. SNNs
were implemented to the neurochip by a conversion executed by the MetaTF
of Akida that converts the software [9, 12].

Or was it.....

I gotta protect my billable (wish) DD IP hours... I'll happily take any effective SP rise as payment though

Thankfully through our collective DD efforts info is generally found on this site first most of the time.

BRN Discussion Ongoing

So Intel is under enormous pressure to get an AI accelerator. Is Intel the mysterious Company "X" (not "the company formerly known as ...") that took over the Akida 2 tapeout after Anil announced BRN was about to commence the process? As much as Peter and others within the Brainchip executive...

Ohh damned, my memory seems short LOL, but good to see you can joke about it and not getting angry because of "I was first syndrome".

Well it's good enough to bring up again because I think it clearly shows how good Akida is compared to the competition and persons in the know writes papers about it.

We must be getting close to some deals I am sure, too much (good) press about our technology to be ignored by smart people in the business.

Exactly…

In fact, I had posted about those NAIST researchers and the Megachips connection even four days earlier after spotting their YouTube video that revealed they had been utilising AKD1000, but couldn’t yet access the whole paper at the time. So your post nicely complemented mine…

On August 20, four researchers from Nara Institute of Science and Technology’s NAIST Robot Learning Lab (one of them has meanwhile graduated with an M.E. and landed a job as an engineer at NTT Docomo, Japan’s largest mobile provider owned by NTT - Nippon Telegraph and Telephone) and a former Nara Institute of Science and Technology M.E. student, now working for Mega Chips, published a paper titled Robust iterative value conversion: Deep reinforcement learning for neuro-chip-driven edge robots.
They also credit another NAIST Master student, Alonso Ramos Fernandez, for his experimental assistance.

The paper’s first author, Yuki Kadokawa, reports financial support was provided by MegaChips Corporation.

While I can’t access the full version of their paper, the video they uploaded to YouTube on August 21 is clear evidence they utilised AKD1000 for their research.

And therein lies the collective

Again my question: What is wrong with Akida or BrainChip that even Edge Impulse does not use it???

Interesting to see no Brainchip on the thank you partners list
But maybe I miss read this on linked in

Don’t know about you… but you should read between the lines (sorry I marked one “I” to much)

Just had a look on the BrainChip website and noticed Mercedes not on the list of partners.

Partners

Become a partner!

There appears to be other updates as well but does anyone look at this reasonably frequently (ie once a week)

Go to the home page.

In the bottom there is a line saying, you are in good company.

Under the line is a rolling list of companies and the M.B. star is there.

Still shows on the homepage slide.

Maybe BRN didn't update that page yet to remove them ....or maybe MB aren't a partner but now a customer

Part time reader and poster here.

Not sure if i'm late to the party on this one, but i've noticed this partnerships between Edge Impulse X Celus on Linkedin. Akida surely? View attachment 69824 View attachment 69823

Why should akida be a part of this partnership?

Is it just me? I recently have the feeling people do no business anymore… only partnering… no wonder many companies goes bankrupt just kidding no I’m not… no I’m just kidding…

because it’s the industry in which brainchip operates? I just ask for a friend
