[Bravo]

I'm keeping an eye on Microchip. I beleive it's only a matter of time before our technology will be integrated in some way with PolarFire as I've mentioned in previous posts.

Remembering that Akida has already been integrated with Microchip's 32-bit processor.

CHANDLER, Ariz., Nov. 14, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- To enable developers building artificial intelligence (AI)-driven sensor processing systems, Microchip Technology (Nasdaq: MCHP) has released its PolarFire® FPGA Ethernet Sensor Bridge that works with the NVIDIA Holoscan sensor processing platform.
PolarFire FPGAs enable multi-protocol support, and this first solution to be released as part of Microchip’s platform is compatible with MIPI® CSI-2®-based sensors and the MIPI D-PHY℠ physical layer. Future solutions will support a wide range of sensors with different interfaces, including SLVS-EC™ 2.0, 12G SDI, CoaXPress® 2.0 and JESD204B. The platform allows designers to leverage the power of the NVIDIA Holoscan ecosystem while taking advantage of the PolarFire FPGA’s power-efficient technology with low-latency communication and multi-protocol sensor support.
NVIDIA Holoscan helps streamline the development and deployment of AI and high-performance computing (HPC) applications at the edge for real-time insights. It brings into a single platform the necessary hardware and software systems for low-latency sensor streaming and network connectivity. The platform includes optimized libraries for data processing, sample AI models for jump-starting AI inference pipeline development, template applications to facilitate rapid prototyping and core microservices to run streaming, imaging and other applications.
With its ability to bridge real-time sensor data to NVIDIA Holoscan and the NVIDIA IGX and NVIDIA Jetson platforms for edge AI and robotics, the PolarFire FPGA Ethernet Sensor Bridge unlocks new edge-to-cloud applications, enables AI/ML inferencing and facilitates the adoption of AI in the medical, industrial and automotive markets.
“The Ethernet sensor bridge is based on Microchip's highly power-efficient, secure and reliable PolarFire FPGA platform,” said Bruce Weyer, vice president of Microchip’s FPGA business unit. “By combining our flexible FPGA fabric with NVIDIA's advanced AI platform and multi-protocol support, we're empowering developers to create innovative, real-time solutions that will revolutionize sensor interfaces across a wide range of powerful AI-driven edge applications.”
By utilizing the low power consumption of Microchip’s PolarFire FPGA technology, the NVIDIA Holoscan Sensor Bridge efficiently manages high-bandwidth data from diverse sensors over Ethernet, enabling real-time, high-performance edge AI processing on NVIDIA AI platforms. The power-efficient design is also conducive for small-footprint and energy- or cost-sensitive applications.
PolarFire FPGAs address security concerns in sensor applications by providing embedded security and safety features to help protect against potential cyber threats and provide physical, device, design and data integrity. They are additionally designed with single event upset (SEU) immunity, making them highly reliable in environments subject to radiation, such as space or high-altitude applications and medical environments. The SEU immunity also helps reduce the risk of data corruption and system failures.

I’ve been having a little look around the AI Labs website and their Minsky engine. On their partners page we know Teksun and Unigen are somehow tied up in our ecosystem but what about the others. Had a quick look at their websites but they don’t seem to me to provide AI Labs with anything like what Akida does but rather they use AI Labs’ Minsky Engine. So ,to me , it seems like AI Labs use Akida in their Minsky Engine but how would they do this with regards to licensing or royalties. Their completed projects page is pretty impressive but we’ve seen no revenue that would indicate them using Akida. They are a mystery to me.

Hi TopCat,

The association with AiLabs is a partnership, not a licence agreement:

Laguna Hills, Calif. – February 5, 2023 – BrainChip Holdings Ltd (ASX: BRN, OTCQX: BRCHF, ADR: BCHPY), the world’s first commercial producer of ultra-low power, fully digital, event-based, neuromorphic AI IP, today announced a partnership with AI Labs Inc. to collaborate on next-generation application development leveraging the Minsky™ AI Engine.

We can expect revenue only some time after sales.

Nvidia, SoftBank claim AI, 5G telecom pilot first​

AI processor leader joins Japanese telco on AI Aerial platform for outdoor pilot of what is said to be world’s first combined AI and 5G network​

By

• Joe O’Halloran, Computer Weekly

Published: 15 Nov 2024 10:45

As part of its ambition to bring the power of artificial intelligence (AI) to virtually every business, industry and consumer in Japan, and in the process open AI revenue streams potentially worth billions of dollars, Nvidia is claiming to have successfully piloted with telco SoftBank the world’s first combined AI and 5G telecom network using Nvidia’s AI Aerial accelerated computing platform.

At the heart of the project is SoftBank’s aim to build Japan’s most powerful AI supercomputer using the Nvidia Blackwell platform, with plans to use the Nvidia Grace Blackwell platform for its next supercomputer.
Using Nvidia AI Enterprise software, SoftBank is also aiming to create an AI marketplace that can meet the demand for local, secure AI computing. SoftBank sees the new service, which supports AI training and edge AI inference , as positioning itself to become the AI grid for Japan, facilitating new business opportunities for the creation, distribution and use of AI services across the country’s industries, consumers and enterprises.

In the field of AI-based radio access networks (AI-RANs), the two companies believe they have achieved a technology milestone with a comms network that can run AI and 5G workloads at the same time. Traditional telco networks are designed to handle peak loads and, on average, said the two firms, have used only one-third of that capacity. With the common computing capability provided by AI-RAN, it’s expected that telcos now have the opportunity to monetise the remaining two-thirds capacity for AI inference services.

In the outdoor trial conducted in the Kanagawa prefecture, SoftBank demonstrated that its Nvidia-accelerated AI-RAN service has achieved carrier-grade 5G performance, and was able to do so while using the network’s excess capacity to run AI inference workloads concurrently.
For the trial, SoftBank used Nvidia AI Enterprise to build real-world AI inference applications, including autonomous vehicle remote support, robotics control and multimodal retrieval-automated generation at the edge. All inference workloads were able to run optimally on SoftBank’s AI-RAN network. SoftBank’s fully software-defined 5G radio stack is optimised for Nvidia’s AI computing platform, and includes L1 software enhanced by SoftBank based on Nvidia Aerial Cuda-accelerated RAN libraries.

Nvidia and SoftBank added that the infrastructure has broad ecosystem support from the comms industry, offering operators the ability to transform base stations from cost centres into AI revenue-producing assets. They estimate that operators can earn roughly $5 in AI inference revenue from every $1 of capex it invests in new AI-RAN infrastructure. Taking into account its own opex and capex costs, SoftBank estimates it can achieve a return of up to 219% for every AI-RAN server it adds to its infrastructure.
