BRN Discussion Ongoing

Hi Manny,

The defining characteristic of 1500 is that it does not have an in-built ARM CPU. It is designed as a co-processor to work with any compatible processor.

It was aso built in Global Foundries 22mm FDSoI (fully depleted silicon on insulator) with a little help from MegaChips. FDSoI improves power efficiency by reducing leakage currents.

1500 helps demonstrate that Akida can work independently of the ARM Cortex processor (as well as avoiding the licence fee). The 1500 IP can be incorporated in a SoC with any compatible processor (CPU/GPU), or it can be made as a stand-alone chip (or chiplet) cooperating with an external processor.

Thanks Diogenese, hopefully not to long before we see some client action with the 1500. Someone/s would have wanted what you describe.

Also, any "improvements" that may have been made over AKD1000, in AKD1500 (disregarding the ARM component) are now reflected in the AKIDA 1.0 IP common to both.

Thanks DB, I was not aware that the 1000 IP was updated. Makes sense though.

Hey that's just my assumption really
But I think it's bankable, as IP isn't set in stone, like a chip is.

If there are significant changes, it will be a "new generation" like AKIDA 2.0 IP, but subtle changes, or tweaks, to each "Family" would be part and parcel of technological development..

But that's just my complete, not even layman's view..

On the News tonight their talking about doggy Chinese door bells being hacked then accessing your WIFI and other devices in your home.

Hey @DingoBorat I think an IP change would need to be taped out.

 

[Humble Genius]

Anyone seen this?

 

[DingoBorat]

Hey @DingoBorat I think an IP change would need to be taped out.

The IP changes to AKIDA 1.0 IP "were" taped out, with the subsequent runs of AKD1000 chips (which there "appear" to be 4 different types) and the AKD1500 In FD-SOI (which makes 5 that we know of, if the previous is correct).

I really don't know, what would constitute the need for a tape-out, to confirm a small tweak, which surely could be run in simulation these days.

With AKIDA 2.0 for example, I'm pretty sure Dr Anthony Lewis, said a tape-out wasn't specifically required, because the core technology, the "novel" aspect of AKIDA, had already been well proven.

Lockheed Martin and Skunk Works..gee tommorow the first of at least 6 whistleblowers are coming forward to reveal to the world public about the illegal " black government" projects that they have been a part of since joining the US Military as young men..this is a major disclosure !
NHI (Non Human Intelligence), since October 1954 a US Black Ops. Program has been involved in a UFO Retrieval Program, anti-gravity technology was achieved in 1954 and has been kept secret by these black programs.

I could go on...but we are at a major fork in the road for all of humanity...watch as this story unfolds...the drone events happening all over the world, the fog, the suicide bombing of a Tesla car on NY Eve...it's this illegal, black operation trying to spread fear among the world population that an alien invasion is about to commence...the truth is slowly being revealed...we are 100% not alone in this universe...many forms of intelligent life exist and are far more advanced than humans.

No, I haven't been on the drugs or alcohol...just watch this major story unfold and keep an open mind.

I apologize for being off topic.

Kind regards....Tech.

Hi there, I'm sorry but what kind of nonsense is this? anti-gravity technology??

After reading this how is one supposed to trust anything you write if you are so ready to believe such conspiracies? You say you work for Brainchip but what's not to say that this isn't also one of your delusions?

For the record I am a big believer in the company, just not non-sensical shit like what is written here.

He never said he worked for BrainChip.

I would think that any change to the RTL blue prints would require a tape out.
