BRN Discussion Ongoing

[Diogenese]

Surely not already

Can't find details of what the real time accelerators are. Probs not us but....musing if they were an early NDA and been developing the "B" model which will go to market next year I think and if they had developed and tested and prepped for market then would need a licence obviously.

Could also explain the minimal up front licence fee and higher royalty if was a product ready for sale as royalties would be expected sooner

Stranger things have happened I guess haha

Our latest GRMON4 debug tool offers enhanced control over SPARC LEON and RISC-V NOEL processors. With advanced features such as advanced breakpoints, GUI, and support for JTAG, Ethernet, and SpaceWire debug connections, it provides a comprehensive debugging experience. A notable addition is the capability to debug all three processing elements in the new GR716B microcontroller, including the LEON3FT main processor and the two embedded Real Time Accelerators.

Congratulations to Arvid Björkengren and Anton Bäckström for the release of this brand new product! #spacecomputing #grmon4 #sparc #riscv #noelv #leon3ft Explore these new features on our updated website: [https://lnkd.in/dwuH3Pzn)

GR716B | Gaisler

The GR716B is a radiation-hardened microcontroller featuring the fault-tolerant LEON3FT SPARC V8 processor and two Real-Time Accelerators.

www.gaisler.com

Real Time Accelerators
The GR716B includes two real-time accelerators (RTA), whose function is off-loading the main LEON3 processor of demanding real-time control tasks. Each RTA has access to tightly coupled memories for instruction and data, thereby allowing single-cycle access and facilitating the design of realtime application software. This also enables control of multiple real-time critical applications from one and the same RTA.

Hi FMF,

"Real time control tasks" and "instructions and data" sounds more like a program-controlled processor.

Hi D

What type of accelerators would fit the description at best guess?

From their docs, no direct info other than the comparison between the older "A" and this "B" shows the RTAs are a new addition at least.

Wonder if Akida could replace those at some point then?

Btw...the cat box was in jest

Without digging into it, my first guess would be microcontroller unit (MCU) processors which often have a limited dedicated purpose, but then I decided to do a bit of digging:

Imsys in Sweden has developed a RISC-V processor core and is part of a project to develop an AI accelerator in space.

Imsys points to a general EU strategy to invest more in the open RISC-V technologyt to strengthen technical independence, stimulate economic growth and increase the pace of innovation, and Imsys is currently applying for EU projects where this is a strength.

RISC-V is also important for designers building chips for space applications, where Imsys works with the Swedish Space Agency and Frontgrade Gaisler and the European Space Agency (ESA).

Frontgrade Gaisler and Imsys Collaborate to Integrate AI into Space Technology​

20231017
The joint effort by Frontgrade Gaisler and Imsys, both Sweden-based companies, has the potential to make substantial advancements in space technology in two key areas – enhancing AI in space applications and using accelerator technology to optimize system design.

“Working together with the deep competencies at Frontgrade Gaisler, the expert in rugged space applications, is a win-win that will help us provide better solutions and open up new market opportunities -- space, rugged applications, AI, etc..” said Jonas Wӕrn, Chief Executive Officer of Imsys AB. “This is Imsys’ first customer for our new accelerator and of great strategic importance to us. The collaboration will focus on verifying Imsys’ design as well as its ‘on silicon’-construction.”

Because the space industry often faces lengthy development cycles, especially for sophisticated components, adaptable accelerators are essential to keeping pace with AI's rapid evolution. Integrating Imsys’ accelerators into avionics systems would enable more onboard computations, enhancing system responsiveness and optimizing communication efficiency by reducing data transfer between spacecraft and ground stations.

“The opportunity to integrate the Imsys accelerator into our microprocessors aligns with Gaisler’s dedication to advancing space technology,” said Sandi Habinc, General Manager at Frontgrade Gaisler. “Integrating AI computing elements into space avionics systems is a key focus for our future product offerings.”

While many current space systems combine an advanced System on a Chip (SoC) with programmable logic to reduce sensor-to-microprocessor data, the Frontgrade Gaisler and Imsys collaboration aims to eliminate the need for separate programmable logic by successfully integrating hardware accelerator technology into the SoC to streamline the data reduction process and achieve to project’s goal.

Imsys AB is active in the development and design of microprocessors. The company creates solutions for managing information, especially large amounts of data. The company's proprietary and flexible microprocessors have historically been used for highly specialized applications and are now found in AI applications.

We are very proud to announce our collaboration with Frontgrade Gaisler to integrate AI accelerators into space technology. This is within the project "New Accelerated Applications in Space".


So in October last year FG and Imsys teamed up to produce RISC-V systems with AI accelerator MPUs.

Within a year or so, FG is flirting with Akida ... "F" is for "fickle".

2024 has been a year full of ups, downs, and (as always) plenty of discussions here. Thanks to everyone who contributes real value …you’re the reason this forum thrives.

To the usual bashers: I hope Santa brings you some better mood and maybe a few facts instead of constant frustration. That would be some progress, right?

Wishing you all a relaxing holiday season, a great start to the new year, and for 2025, let’s hope BrainChip finally shows what Akida is really capable of. I’m staying optimistic …hopefully, you are too!


Cheers,

quantum brilliance is developing a diamond-based room-temperature quantum processor:

https://quantumbrilliance.com/press...ccelerator-in-europe-powered-by-nvidia-cuda-q

They place nitrogen (N) atoms in the diamond matrix to create electronic "holes" (one fewer electron than the carbon matrix making up the diamond). They use a scanning tunneling microscope (STM) to provide vacancies for the N atoms (which seems pretty labour-intensive).


WO2023097361A1 ATOMIC SCALE FABRICATION OF DIAMOND QUANTUM COMPUTERS 20211203

wherein removing of the passivation atoms comprises moving a tip of a scanning tunnelling microscope (STM) across the passivated surface at atomic precision and creating a pulsed voltage drop between tip and diamond surface to remove the passivation atoms; exposing the multiple de-passivated sites to a nitrogen-containing compound to adsorb nitrogen at the multiple de-passivated sites of the diamond substrate; overgrowing the multiple de-passivated sites with diamond; converting the incorporated nitrogen into multiple nitrogen vacancies; and charging the nitrogen vacancies with a negative charge.

They do have a rack-sized box for sale.

I wonder what other companies will be show casing there wares with Akida in them at CES 2025. Hopefully a major at least and they sing the praises.
A bit disappointed the lack of a Quarterly podcast after Tech said that one was on the way according to TD.
All the best to all for 2025.

I feel more confident without a quarterly update. Reason being
1. It is no more than political statements, especially when they cannot provideite information than what we already know.
2 Results are coming out and management believes there is no need to waste time and effort any further.

I just blew smoke up your a.. and now this.
I take it the flux capacitor is at full throttle and hyper drive is about to be engaged but has Scotty got any more power left in her without breaking up.



Have a happy Xmas and safe New Years great sleuthing once again.
