Oct 30, 2024 | Stephen MayhewCategories Cloud Infrastructure | Edge Computing News | Funding
The EU Commission announced it is investing 865 million euros ($935M USD) in digital infrastructure to enhance connectivity for citizens and companies by 2027.
The funding will focus on expanding 5G networks, modernizing backbone networks, and reducing energy consumption.
Projects aim to ensure every EU citizen and company is connected to 5G and gigabit systems by the Digital Decade 2030.
Investments will also improve submarine cables and quantum communication networks for better resilience and capacity.
The EU also wants to use the pot to finance the integration of cloud and edge computing capacities in sectors such as healthcare, manufacturing, transport and logistics.
There are also plans to introduce operational digital platforms to optimize energy consumption in transport and energy infrastructures.
The Connecting Europe Digital Program has already funded 65 projects, with a goal of investing up to two billion euros in connectivity infrastructure by 2027.
The European Commission also approved up to €1.2 billion (roughly $1.3B USD) in aid for a cloud and edge computing project back in 2023.

space Memory & Data Storage
Vorago Technologies in the US has expanded partnerships with deals with Infineon and Avalanche Technology on rad hard non-volatile memory for edge computing for space.
Vorago will use the Avalanche MRAM magnetic memory boot and AI multi-processing designs with rad-hard and rad-tolerant microcontrollers and microprocessors. This will allow customers to access highly optimized processing solutions to support critical space and defence applications.
“The Aerospace & Defense industry has unwavering need for scalable platform solutions that meet a challenging balance of optimized reliability, SWaP and commercial viability,” said Paul Chopelas, General Manager at Avalanche Technology. “Working with key ecosystem partners like VORAGO to provide idealized boot solutions for their lineup of processors, we help realize the community’s Goldilocks requirements.”
In 2025, Infineon Technologies and Vorago will offer designs based on the Infineon radiation hardened NOR flash coupled with next generation Vorago MCUs.
“Microcontrollers are gaining fast acceptance in space applications due to their flexibility, small footprint, radiation performance and lower power consumption for secondary functions where a full-size FPGA would be exaggerated. We are pleased to support integrated as well as embedded QML certified boot solutions for VORAGO’s microcontrollers,” said Helmut Puchner, VP Fellow Aerospace and Defense at Infineon Technologies.
Novi is using the Vorago ARM Cortex-M4 microcontrollers in its 100 and 200 series on-board computers as well as offering custom hardware and software engineering services.
“We are dedicated to providing onboard computing solutions that combine high performance, cost efficiency, and radiation tolerance, driving the continued growth and capability of small spacecraft in LEO and beyond. Vorago’s M4 processor is crucial in helping us achieve these objectives,” said Michael Bartholomeusz, CEO of Novi.
IDEAS-TEK is developing cost, size and power optimized VNX+ computing platforms based on the Vorago VA7230 microprocessor for edge computing and ARM Cortex-M4 microcontrollers for radiation hardened system monitoring and system control.
“IDEAS-TEK has developed a family of small form factor computing platforms aligned with the VNX/VNX+ standards, offering a range of performance and reliability options. The VA7230 microprocessor and ARM Cortex-M4 microcontrollers are ideal additions to enhance our current offerings. We look forward to a successful partnership and to delivering these cutting-edge systems with the quality and reliability that define IDEAS-TEK,” said Alonzo Vera, CEO.
“By expanding our partner ecosystem with these industry-leading companies, VORAGO Technologies is reinforcing its commitment to providing innovative, radiation-hardened and radiation-tolerant solutions for the most demanding environments,” said Ken Obuszewski, Vice President of Business Development and Product at Vorago Technologies. “These strategic partnerships will enhance our technology offerings and help our customers accelerate product development and innovation, increasing resilience and value.”

Spiking neural networks use a lot less power as they only trigger on events. Brainchip’s Akida Event Domain Neural Processor IP offers native support for SNNs with a power consumption of 3 pJ per synaptic operation in their 28nm CMOS implementation. The Akida Development Environment (ADE) uses industry-standard neural network development tools Tensorflow and Keras for robotic vision, navigation, communication, observation and system health management in future autonomous robotic systems.
The first step is to evaluate the radiation vulnerability of different parts of the IP on a 28nm process through the Akida Development Environment and define an architecture for a target system-on-chip (SoC).
The chip is expected to be built on 28nm, using the HARDSIL hardening process from Vorago Technologies in Austin, Texas, to harden specific blocks in the design. This is a cost-effective modification to commercial process flows that can be implemented quickly with minimal incremental mask and implant steps.
The next stage is to look at a hardened chip with an embedded neural processor unit for use within NASA and the Space community. Vorago has already hardened an ARM Cortex-M0+ core that can be used in interplanetary CubeSats and SmallSats, instruments bound for outer planets and heliophysics missions to harsh radiation environments.
BrainChip has started shipping development boards for the technology.
“The Akida NSoC has proven to provide significant power savings and is the complete integration of a neural network design,” said Louis DiNardo, CEO of BrainChip. “True AI Edge learning does not exist with current AI solutions and our ability to provide this and other features while significantly reducing both power consumption, size and the Bill-of-Materials (BOM) has attracted the attention of leading suppliers in the Smart Home, Smart Transportation and Smart City markets. We believe that these capabilities also will provide new solutions in Smart Healthcare applications that serve our mission of supporting Beneficial AI applications and improve the human condition globally in terms of diagnosis of infectious diseases, cancers and a wide array of challenging global health concerns.
However the RTL for the chip was only completed at the start of December. It was sent to manufacturing partner Socionext America (SNA). SNA will complete the physical design of the device and tape-out to TSMC for mask creation for volume production in 2021.
“The Akida device design will be transferred to TSMC for use in manufacturing production wafers in support of potential customer requirement in 2021 and beyond. This is a major milestone for the Company as we move to commercialize the Akida NSoC,” said DiNardo. “Through our partnership with SNA and TSMC we have world-class resources and expect to have a robust integrated circuit that suits their requirements for both performance and reliability.”

Big news from Berlin!
Last week, we invited media to the German capital to participate in our “Insight DRIVE PILOT” event and test our latest advanced driver-assistance systems. For me, this subject is very close to my heart because our cutting-edge ADAS systems simply wouldn’t exist without the integration of our sophisticated software.
The big news was that our DRIVE PILOT SAE Level 3 conditionally automated driving system will soon be the world’s fastest Level 3 system because it can follow a vehicle on the motorway at speeds up to 95 km/h (up from 60 km/h) when certain conditions are met. The technology combines our advanced software architecture with state-of-the-art hardware, such as cameras, radars, ultrasonic sensors, and a LiDAR, and it’s currently being re-certified by Germany’s Federal Motor Transport Authority (KBA). Accreditation is expected for use on German motorways by the end of this year. During conditionally automated driving, DRIVE PILOT takes control, which means the driver can use the time more efficiently, to make calls, surf the internet or even stream a movie.
The event also signalled the launch of our Level 2+ Automatic Lane Change (ALC) in Europe and it presented an opportunity for journalists to test their parking skills using our Active Parking Assist technology.
Added together, these exercises prove once again that Mercedes-Benz is setting industry standards for autonomous driving.
On the question of lidar, Luminar recently posted a shot of a merc with Luminar lidar
www.linkedin.com
The future of automotive safety was on full display at hashtag#GTC24 as our partners Mercedes-Benz, Volvo Cars, and Polestar all showcased LiDAR technology on their newest vehicles.
See them for yourself:
Note the widow's peek above the windscreen.
Luminar had earlier posted about developing a slimmed down version when discussing their Mercedes deal, so the hairline bump is pretty impressive.
The higher the lidar is placed, the further it can see.
Luminar also provide software with their lidar, but I didn't find anything to exclude Akida/TENNs.

Wrong 41% not 46…
And no you are not right
Greens Highly Overrepresented in Journalist Survey; AfD Not Mentioned
The 2024 long-term study “Journalism and Democracy” reveals that 41 percent of the 525 journalists surveyed in Germany identify with the Greens. The second most common response was “No party,” with 23 percent. While support for the SPD (16 percent) and FDP (3 percent) is relatively consistent with national polls, the Greens and the Left (6 percent) are significantly overrepresented among journalists. In contrast, support for the CDU (8 percent) and BSW (1 percent) is considerably lower in this survey. The AfD does not appear in the study at all.

The middle depends on where you are standing.I guess that means there's 54% possibly leaning the other way.

Enough is enough both of you, @Bravo and @Frangipani. We all understand your points now, and both of you had the chance to comment on them, but now it is getting annoying to all of us! And stop reporting each other, because you both are valuable to this forum and we do not want to lose either of you, even if you do not like each other. Please stop this fight and if you can't, then do it via direct message to each other.Thank you!
