ROURKELA: Distinguished scientist and DG, Electronics & Communication Systems of Defence Research & Development Organisation (DRDO) Dr Binay Kumar Das on Wednesday outlined the need for mastering latest technologies to take India to the global top.

Addressing the 11th convocation ceremony of Biju Patnaik University of Technology (BPUT) here, he said, the entire combat operation has become quite different and technology must be taken to the next level.
“We need to work on disruptive technologies. 500 Xetabyte of data is expected to be crunched every year. So neuromorphic computing will come to our rescue. Mastering these technologies will carry India to the global top,” he added.

Advanced technologies have already transformed country’s defence exports eight times in last five years, he said, adding Indian defence market is soaring high for self-reliance with 500 negative import list and all set to challenge the entire world. “India Semiconductor Mission is unfolding in a big way. Mission for Green Hydrogen and PLI missions are only to name a few which are going to redefine New India,” he added.

Das said India’s test range is the only one to have maximum indigenous systems. “Today, I am spearheading the electronics cluster with only one mandate of stopping every single import and developing every system within the country,” he said.

Citing his own instance of staying back in India, he said the country is moving fast on digital front with growing business industry ecosystem and simultaneously laid thrust on growth of the farm sector.

To become third largest economy by 2030, India needs to change its thinking, augment export, design products with perfection, smart work and align the education system to overcome the challenges in traffic, pollution, energy and sustainability, he added.

Governor and Chancellor Dr Hari Babu Kambhampati presided over the function and emphasised the critical role of technical education in nation-building.
He highlighted the remarkable advancements India has made in semiconductor technology, AI, space research and IT sector.

BPUT vice-chancellor Prof Amiya Kumar Rath said the university insists the affiliated colleges to conduct ‘graduation day’ to handover certificates to students for the academic year 2023-24 within a month.
On the occasion, degrees were awarded to students in different disciplines including engineering, management, pharmacy, architecture, and applied sciences along with gold medals and other prestigious awards to outstanding performers.

I wouldn't say they are "jumping ship"..

Every organisation, has those that are happy to stay and those that are seeking new things and are only transitorily employed.

Rudy, was one of those, although he can't really "move up" now, from working at Nvidia..

There's a bit of a shuffle of seats and some chicken littles are screaming "the Sky is falling" ..

Everything has been moving slower than expected, but it's still been moving in the right direction.

Neuromorphic Computing, is no longer a fringe concept and BrainChip is well placed, to take advantage of what's unfolding.

The Announcement Friday morning, should keep people happy, for about 5 minutes..

 

[Fullmoonfever]

I see Accenture Dublin just had a new parent published, that was only filed mid last year, referencing Akida as a potential processor option again.

Quick turnaround huh.

Odd they don't just reference a general neuromorphic processor option or any number of other neuromorphic product companies

Just wish they'd take a licence or something, anything.

HERE

The apparatus can include special
purpose logic circuitry, e.g., an FPGA (feld programmable gate array), an ASIC (application specifc integrated circuit), a neuromorphic research chip, such as Intel’s Loihi chip, or a neural network processor, such as BrainChip’s AkidaTM chip.

[0074] The processes and logic fows described in this specifcation can be performed by one or more programmable computers executing one or more computer programs to perform functions by operating on input data and generating output. The processes and logic fows can also be performed by, and apparatus can also be implemented as, special purpose logic circuitry, e.g., an FPGA (feld programmable gate array), an ASIC (application specifc integrated circuit) a neuromorphic research chip, such as Intel’s Loihi chip, or a neural network processor, such as BrainChip’s Akida™ chip.

There is no direct evidence from the provided search results indicating a partnership between the Dubai Investment Fund (DIF) and BrainChip. Here's a summary based on the available information:

• Dubai Investment Fund (DIF): The search results mention the establishment and operations of the Dubai Investment Fund, focusing on various sectors like electronics, financial services, renewable energy, and IT, but there's no mention of BrainChip in these contexts.
• Partnerships and Investments: The results do discuss various partnerships and investments, including:
  • A partnership between Liquidity Capital (Israel-based) and Vault Investments (Dubai-based) to form a $100 million venture debt fund aimed at tech companies in the Middle East, North Africa, and Europe. However, this does not involve BrainChip.
  • The activities of the Dubai Future District Fund and other investment initiatives in Dubai, which also do not reference BrainChip.

Given this information, there is no indication from the search results of a partnership or specific investment relationship between the Dubai Investment Fund and BrainChip. If you're looking for the most current or detailed information, you might need to consult more specific sources or recent news updates beyond what was provided here.

Afrl is not an IP signing.

Front grade is an IP signing, yes but it is not going to make us any substantial money. It's sending chips to space not going into devices that will sell millions of units but you have me on a technicality and I stand corrected.

Megachips and renasas were 3 years ago.... And we are yet to see any royalties (or products that we are aware of yet).

Blind Freddie knows we need more. And soon. Hopefully Accenture and TCS can come to the party to stop the bleeding.

So let me rephrase my comment

IP sales - 3
IP sales in the last 2 years that will actually generate decent revenue - 0

Hi Baiysyet,

I don't think Steve was applying fo a job - more likely prosletyzing for Akida.

As the Founder of Aynak Inc, my goal is to enable everyone to hear everywhere. Our goal is to remove the stigma linked to hearing aids by enhancing eyeglasses with built-in environmentally aware and focused hearing capabilities. With a commitment to innovation and a hands-on approach, my team and I are at the forefront of developing cutting-edge auditory technology to give you the best possible hearing experience. This problem space is very dear to me, and I am dedicated and fully committed to building the best hearing solution.

Most recently, I was VP of Engineering at Qualcomm in San Diego, where I was running the Augmented and Virtual Reality engineering team that I had started over 10 years ago, and helped it grow from a "startup" within Qualcomm to a several hundred million dollar business. My team enabled Qualcomm to go from a chipset supplier to a solution provider in AR/VR space with the introduction of Snapdragon Spaces. In my career at Qualcomm, I have led technology teams in the areas of Computer Vision, Sensor frameworks, Digital Signal Processing, and Downloadable application frameworks such as Brew and DSP Access Program. I have several patents in AR/VR and other technology areas.

Qualcomm's AI has evolved out of last millenium's DSPs, and, from its writeup, it looks quite clunky.

Ah hope so @Diogenese

Sorry Dingo, maybe jumping ship was the wrong phrase. Moving on maybe.
Gone are the days employees stay in a job for life, the workforce is a lot more fluid now, which has its pros and cons.
Hope your right about the Friday Ann, but after the last 9 years in this I have the patience to wait. Still have faith that BRN will deliver, and with another 10 years before retirement, I can wait a bit longer.

As it turned out PvdM handed over the reins of CTO to Tony Lewis after a planned transition advisory period

https://company-announcements.afr.com/asx/brn/77b29fb6-8832-11ee-ab13-be697fccabca.pdf

BrainChip Announces Transition to a New CTO • BrainChip announces the planned retirement of co-founder and CTO Peter Van der Made • Peter Van der Made will continue to sit on the Board of Directors and Scientific Advisory board. • Announces new CTO, Dr. Tony Lewis, former VP and Global Head of the AI and Emerging Compute Lab at HP, Inc.

Sydney – 21 November 2023: BrainChip Holdings Ltd (ASX: BRN, OTCQX: BRCHF, ADR: BCHPY), the world’s first commercial producer of ultra-low power, fully digital, neuromorphic AI IP, today announced the planned retirement of co-founder and CTO Peter Van der Made which is scheduled for the end of the year. Peter has been the face of BrainChip since its inception. His intelligence and energy have been foundational in the creation and growth of the company.

... but that was an ASX announcement, so I suppose no one saw it.

For most directors, executive directors excepted, the role of director is different from the executive officers. Directors are not involved in the hands-on day-to-day runnig of the company, so gratuitous denigration of the company's founder is uncalled for.

And this leads into another thing which should be born in mind - advocating for a second strike would be advocating the sacking of PvdM.

Thanks Dio,

but there is nothing gratuitous about my post.

We need to understand

. why isn't the deal with the AFRL able to be completed, ie why won't RTX (or whoever) take the $800K?
. why are we suddenly seeing twice as many shares of the sell side as the buy side?
. why is there no billing out of our ML programmers?
. why do we only do deals with tiny companies like Ant61 and Quantum Ventura where neither company has the funds to create a mass market product?, or Associations like ESA whose reccommendations are more about validation than revenue? ie should the marketing division be broken up into Revenue generating and Validation generating?

It could be there are things we can do internally to address these short comings and we should be able to have a conversation about this.

The space industry seems to be favouring Risc-V over Arm. Could this be because Arm is owned 90% by one individual? Could it be that we do not need hedge fund investors but rather industry investors?

Something is not quite working to our advantage at the moment, and we need to be brave enough to consider whether the founders have their thumb of the scale preventing the best outcome for the business. ie it's no longer good enought to meet and greet the directors at an AGM and fall for their X-factor, as brilliant as that is.

Frontgrade’s rad hardened chips sell for anywhere between 10k and 500k per chip depending on the chips hi-ended specialness. They don’t need to sell in great volume for us to make a tidy sum at 10% per chip. This is all in an expanding space (and space force) industry that is expected to be a trillion dollars by next decade.
