WO2017129325A1 A CONVOLUTIONAL NEURAL NETWORK

Von Neumann rools!


View attachment 22576




A convolutional neural network (CNN) for an image processing system comprises an image cache responsive to a request to read a block of NxM pixels extending from a specified location within an input map to provide a block of NxM pixels at an output port. A convolution engine reads blocks of pixels from the output port, combines blocks of pixels with a corresponding set of weights to provide a product, and subjects the product to an activation function to provide an output pixel value. The image cache comprises a plurality of interleaved memories capable of simultaneously providing the NxM pixels at the output port in a single clock cycle. A controller provides a set of weights to the convolution engine before processing an input map, causes the convolution engine to scan across the input map by incrementing a specified location for successive blocks of pixels and generates an output map within the image cache by writing output pixel values to successive locations within the image cache.

BrainChip says new standards needed for edge AI benchmarking​

Jan 23, 2023 | Abhishek Jadhav

CATEGORIES Edge Applications | Edge Computing News | Industry Standards

BrainChip, a provider of neuromorphic processors for edge AI on-chip processing, has published a white paper that examines the limitations of conventional AI performance benchmarks. The white paper also suggests additional metrics to consider when evaluating AI applications’ overall performance and efficiency in multi-modal edge environments.

The white paper, “Benchmarking AI inference at the edge: Measuring performance and efficiency for real-world deployments”, examines how neuromorphic technology can help reduce latency and power consumption while amplifying throughput. According to research cited by BrainChip, the benchmarking used to measure AI performance in today’s industry tends to focus heavily on TOPS metrics, which do not accurately depict real-world applications.

“While there’s been a good start, current methods of benchmarking for edge AI don’t accurately account for the factors that affect devices in industries such as automotive, smart homes and Industry 4.0,” said Anil Mankar, the chief development officer of BrainChip.

Limitations of traditional edge AI benchmarking techniques​

MLPerf is recognized as the benchmark system for measuring the performance and capabilities of AI workloads and inferences. While other organizations seek to add new standards for AI evaluations, they still use TOPS metrics. Unfortunately, these metrics fail to prove proper power consumption and performance in a real-world setting.

BrainChip proposes that future benchmarking of AI edge performance should include application-based parameters. Additionally, it should emulate sensor inputs to provide a more realistic and complete view of performance and power efficiency.

“We believe that as a community, we should evolve benchmarks to continuously incorporate factors such as on-chip, in-memory computation, and model sizes to complement the latency and power metrics that are measured today,” Mankar added.

Benchmarks in action: Measuring throughput and power consumption​

BrainChip promotes a shift towards using application-specific parameters to measure AI inference capabilities. The new standard should use open-loop and closed-loop datasets to measure raw performance in real-world applications, such as throughput and power consumption.

BrainChip believes businesses can leverage this data to optimize AI algorithms with performance and efficiency for various industries, including automotive, smart homes and Industry 4.0.

Evaluating AI performance for automotive applications can be difficult due to the complexity of dynamic situations. One can create more responsive in-cabin systems by incorporating keyword spotting and image detection into benchmarking measures. On the other hand, when evaluating AI in smart home devices, one should prioritize measuring performance and accuracy for keyword spotting, object detection and visual wake words.

“Targeted Industry 4.0 inference benchmarks focused on balancing efficiency and power will enable system designers to architect a new generation of energy-efficient robots that optimally process data-heavy input from multiple sensors,” BrainChip explained.

BrainChip emphasizes the need for more effort to incorporate additional parameters in a comprehensive benchmarking system. The company suggests creating new benchmarks for AI interference performance that measure efficiency by evaluating factors such as latency, power and in-memory and (on-chip) computation.

Hi TC
I once held Pck a couple of years ago , I’ve kept a close eye on their progress.

I sent an email to Tony Dawe last year .

This is the reply

Nice one mate!

In August 2022 I emailed Adam Osseiran about a business I thought could benefit from akida technology. From my brief email, Adam and Tony were interested in meeting with the CEO, who I knew albeit not very well.

I had already spoken to the CEO about Brainchip and so made a 'warm' introduction by email and then left it to Tony and Adam to run with.

I did later get confirmation that they had met with the CEO but did not ask whether anything had come of it for obvious reasons. The CEO sent me an email afterwards thanking me for the introduction and said "we had a long call and are following up. Definitely tech we need to know about"

I suppose the point I'm making is the Brainchip team are more than happy to meet with prospective clients at the suggestion of shareholders, so if you have someone in your network you think would be valuable for Tony and the team to meet with, then have a chat with Tony and the client separately and provided they are both interested, send an introduction email to both parties.

You never know what may come of it!

Cheers

G'day legends.
Listened to an interesting podcast with a NZ lad who is a co founder of Neuro. I seem to remember one or many of you discussing Neuro but have reached out to Mr Ferguson to gauge his response in relation to Brainchip. He also coincidentally completed a Phd at CMU.

I don't think it is controlled as such. Don't forget we have at least 30M shares to be dumped into the market. Buyers won't rush in to buy.

Someone is loaning out shares to the shorters.

They make money for loaning out their shares, while at the same time accumulating more shares while the share price gets pushed down to the 60’s.

It looks like the loaners don’t won’t the price below a price range that kicks BRN out of the ASX 200.

Something tells me it might be someone that voted against Peter at the last AGM.

Hi TechGirl,

I expect that we will see a few more of these articles in the next week. Love all the dot joining here but we seem to have lost sight of the fact that we are in the midst of a capital raise. If you are selling your car you need to advertise. Giving it a wash and pumping up the tyres is a good plan too.

Afternoon TECH,

Good question & the only cenario I can think of is a large entity in our field of business screwing the price down.

But one of many ways...

Large entity goes out & on market Buys say the equivalent of say 100,000,000 shares for a combined average value of say $140,000,000.00.

Next step thay then proceed to use these shares, lend them out to a separate entity , although still the same parent entity, all linked through various offshore accounts , brokers etc to short the crap out of our share price.

In doing so thay...

1, pick up to $140,000,000.00 tax loss for the books.

2, the Short side of the equation Buys back and makes a profit at of $X...

3, Most importantly by playing with a relative pittance , $140,000,000.00, by screwing the price down said company then mysteriously appears & offers a buyout price of say $2.50 per share, White Knite, which after the enduring torment thay have inflicted on the average retail shareholder for over a year, dare say alot would accept.

4, Large acquiring company has literally saved itself billions of $ off the purchase price simply by playing games with only $140,000,000.00

* As I have said earlier, I personally believe the fair value of Brainchip shares pressently should be well north of $4.50 Au , even pricing in world events.

The above is purely what I think is playing out before our eyes.

Regards,
Esq.

$4.50? We are still essentially pre revenue.

I'll take it but that would value us at over $7 billion!
