BRN Discussion Ongoing

[DingoBorat]

TENNS has arrived. Better late than never I suppose. Hopefully the first of many to come.
Of course the airforce collaborates with the defense force and navy too. Much potential to be had even in this little niche.

The Airforce, is often considered as the Top Tier of the military.
So you're probably right..


"They ask the army guy. What would you do if you woke up and found a spider in your tent? The army guy replies “I would take off my boot and smash it to death”.

They ask the navy guy the same question. What would you do if you woke up and there was a spider in your tent? He replied. “I would take out my bayonet and stab it to death”.

Finally they get to the airforce guy. What would you do if you woke up and there was a spider in your tent? The airforce guy paused for a second with a confused look on his face and replied “ well first I would call the front desk and ask why there is a fucking tent in my hotel room”

So this deal is worth just over 4 million Aussie dollars, yeah?

US 1.8 million
+
US 800K

My reading is that we, as the contractor to AFRL, pay the sub-contractor $800k.

I don't think the actual amount we get is as important as the recognition which this provides in validating our tech, especially TENNs.

It’d be nice to know who the subcontractor is. Do we know? Haven’t read the Ann yet…

I think you're right Diogenese, because it says the 800k is a "fixed fee" whereas the 1.8m is the paid to BrainChip contract amount.

I think it's worth clarification by the Company though..

Beep beep! Get outta my way !

You've upgraded your boots! Nice!

[FiveBucks]

Contract!!! Well done Sean. Now can you lock in about 20 more please!!

This provides some further details and I do like the potential of Ph III

I wonder how the American market will respond to this announcement

Hi Baisyet,

I think that Jason has/had a narrow view of what constitutes neuromorphic, being analog neurons.

It is true that analog neurons more closely resemble biological neurons by adding actual voltages and firing when a threshold voltage value is reached. A leaky-integrate-and-fire (LIF) neuron can be represented by a capacitor in parallel with a resistor. As the capacitor is charged by input current spikes from other neurons, it begins to discharge (leak) through the resistor, so the rate of incoming spikes is important. If the rate is too low, the capacitor voltage will drop faster than it is built up by the spikes and the neuron will not reach the threshold.

Akida is designed to produce a digital imitation of the function of biological neurons. Akida's neurons "count" digital bits and fire when the count reaches a numerical threshold. The digital output of Akida is equivalent to the result of passing the output of an analog neuron through an analog-to-digital converter, which is a necessary step with an analog neuron if its output is to be useful in a CPU/GPU. Akida uses a time window to replicate the leak by only counting the most recent block of N spikes.

Akida is suitable for edge devices because of its speed of response (low latency) and its low power requirements which make it ideal for battery operated devices.

Thank you very much @Diogenese

"Neuromorphic hardware provides an advantage of a factor of 100 in power consumption per inference relative to emulation using a traditional Graphics Processing Unit". That statement, made by persons independent of Brainchip and referenced in a USAFR document, must send shivers down the spine of management and product planners at Nvidia, Qualcomm and ARM...........I hope!!

Thanks. I have deleted my post so as not to confuse anyone over the figures.

BrainChip (#ASX: $BRN) secures $2.7m US Air Force contract for radar signal technology https://smallcaps.com.au/brainchip-us-air-force-contract-radar-signal-technology/ @BrainChip_inc

 

[SiDEvans]

Whilst I agree that the amount we receive is less important than the exposure (as someone previously posted), it would be nice if BRN could make a market announcement that didn't need some form of follow up to make it understandable & / or correct ..... or maybe that's too much to ask.
Whatever, its a bloody great milestone.

Hi @Fullmoonfever,

It's interesting what they're saying here is that the power consumption "provides an advantage on factor of 100 in power consumption" relative to using a traditional GPU.

Mercedes report very similar results in their use of neuromorphic computing.

Too late… I was adding just 6 million on top of your 4 to make it round and smooth… thank you for that bravo…… NOW GO AND RUN!!!

 

[Esq.111]

Afternoon Chippers ,

Great to see a ASX contract , Hopefully the start of something VASTLY larger.

She's gaining pace....be thinking the American market should fully light the fuse on this tonight when their market comes on line.

RELEASE THE HANDBREAK

Regards,
Esq.

 

[7für7]

Now that I’ve tasted blood… give me another big announcement as dessert! Come on, Braini!

 

[manny100]

This deal is just the start.
Tony V at the AGM said the 1st deal or 2 will give confidence to client engagees.

 

[manny100]

Did I mention that both Sean and Tony V have been accumulating shares madly.
Both now in top 50.
I am tipping Sean for top 25 this time next year.
That gives me confidence.

Go the almighty hour of power
