ASX Ltd: Watchdog investigates sharemarket operator over failed tech project

ASIC is investigating whether market operator ASX Ltd or its directors breached corporate laws in their handling of a botched technology project.

"The corporate watchdog is investigating whether market operator ASX Ltd or its directors breached corporate laws in their handling of a failed technology project to overhaul critical financial infrastructure".

I know from a friend that the ASX invested $75 million into a blockchain system that would apparently solve a number of issues on the ASX with bot trading but they just gave up on it. I assume that's what the article is discussing. Nice to be able to blow that much on a little r&d project that never eventuates, continue to allow bot trading and still be extremely profitable.
Monopolies are terrible!

No doubt they will get nothing more than a slap on the wrist.

ASX Ltd: Watchdog investigates sharemarket operator over failed tech project​

ByClancy Yeates​

March 29, 2023 — 4.16pm

The corporate watchdog is investigating whether market operator ASX Ltd or its directors breached corporate laws in their handling of a failed technology project to overhaul critical financial infrastructure.
In a sign of further fallout from a long-running project that was junked last year, ASX Ltd on Wednesday revealed it was under investigation by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission over the CHESS replacement project.

The project had attempted to replace the ASX’s core clearing and settlement system with blockchain-based technology, but it was beset by repeated delays. Last November, the company dumped the project, resulting in $255 million in charges.
The ill-fated project has sparked tougher regulatory scrutiny of ASX Ltd, with the country’s top financial regulators last year blasting the company over the failure, and demanding ASX Ltd produce a series of reports.

Now, ASIC was investigating “suspected contraventions” of corporate laws, ASX Ltd said. It said the watchdog would consider whether ASX Ltd, and/or its officers and directors had breached various sections of the Corporations Act, including those relating to continuous disclosure, misleading and deceptive conduct, and false or misleading statements. The regulator was also investigating whether there were breaches of the ASIC Act, including sections dealing with misleading and deceptive conduct and false or misleading representations.

ASX said the probe into suspected contraventions would look at ASX Ltd’s oversight of the CHESS replacement project, and statements and disclosures it had made on the status of the program. “ASX takes its obligations very seriously and will co-operate fully with ASIC,” ASX Ltd said.
ASX Ltd, as well as operating key financial market infrastructure, is also responsible for monitoring and enforcing compliance with the market’s listing rules, which include rules on continuous disclosure. ASX Ltd has a distinct compliance division that handles the compliance of listed companies. ASIC is responsible for supervising ASX and monitoring ASX’s compliance with the listing rules.
Despite ASIC’s investigation, investors did not appear overly worried about the potential impact on ASX, with its shares rising 0.2 per cent to $64.75 by late afternoon.


An ASIC spokesman confirmed the investigation but did not comment further on the matter. “ASIC acknowledges today’s market announcement by ASX Ltd and confirms that it has commenced an investigation as referred to in the announcement,” he said.

CHESS, a system developed in the 1990s, is used to underpin trading on Australia’s sharemarket. In 2015, ASX Ltd started looking at replacement options. In 2016, it selected a partner to develop and test a platform that would use distributed ledger technology.
But the ambitious program was repeatedly delayed before being abandoned in November, a move that left other firms in the financial sector frustrated after the investments they had made in the project. In February, ASIC ordered ASX Ltd to provide two extra reports on the bungled project.

If akida is driving a car in that situation then definitely it would had negotiated the bump much better way than the tradie and problem was solved.

You are really putting a lot of weight on AKIDA's shoulders expecting it to compensate for the idiocy of youth.

Our young apprentice had driven into the yard over the very same speed hump so clearly new it was still going to be there on the way out.

What he did not allow for was the expansion of the paint in the tins in the back of his station wagon through the glass windows and the fact that the lids were not secured by tape.

If AKIDA had been driving I strongly suspect that it also would have not learnt about the risk of paint tin explosion going over a speed hump although having experienced it once it would have told all the other AKIDA brothers and sisters across the entire world to adjust for young apprentices without a clue.

First question they should ask:

"As the ASX is a relatively small exchange by reference to the NASDAQ why did you not consider upgrading to the system used by the NASDAQ given it is proven and capable of carrying far greater capacity than the ASX is likely to encounter?"

At the same time I would be looking into the ownership of the contracting companies and what if any links might exist to the ASX staff and families past and present. While $75 million was referenced in the headline, in the body of the report it states $255 million. That is a lot of money paid out to achieve we have changed our mind.

75 million was the number my mate advised me, which I thought was outrageous but seems like it was A LOT more! $250 million. Could you imagine if Brainchip spent like they do!

 

[Mugen74]

From another article dated Nov 17 2022
"It will write off $245 million to $255 million and may have to compensate trading firms that spent at least $100 million on their own upgrades for the experimental clearing and settlement project"

The fact that this is pre-Brainchip/Valeo JV is illustrated by the following:

"According to several implementations, the first set of sampling points, in particular as input, is fed into an artificial neural network, in particular by the computing system, in order to carry out the second process.

The neural network, which can be understood as a software algorithm, is trained in particular for one or more processes for machine vision, for example including the object detection and / or segmentation and / or classification process.

According to several implementations, the neural network is implemented as a pulsed neural network, SNN, or a convolutional neural network, CNN."

Evening Alwaysgreen,

Just to show how incompetent and disjointed our systems in Australia is....

Is it any wonder the manipulation on our market goes unhinderd.

I'd like to see a small percentage of each share sale paid to the company that issued the shares. This would be beneficial for the company and the shareholder, and might give the bots pause for thought.

In this old article from 2020 Tachyum mentions Spiking neural networks and also a power saving budget of 10x for their new chips boasting to be faster then Intel and Nvidia’s fastest chips. Interesting

“Tachyum's Prodigy can run HPC applications, convolution AI, explainable AI, general AI, bio AI and spiking neural networks, as well as normal data center workloads on a single homogeneous processor platform with its simple programming model”

“With a product that is faster than the fastest Intel Xeon or NVIDIA A100 Chips, Prodigy is nearing all of its stated objectives and remains on track to make its debut as planned next year.”

“It will also allow Edge developers for IoT to exploit its low power and high performance, along with its simple programming model to deliver AI to the edge.”

“Prodigy outperforms the fastest Xeon processors at 10x lower power on data center workloads, as well as outperforming NVIDIA’s fastest GPU on HPC, AI training and inference”

“The 125 HPC Prodigy racks can deliver a 32 tensor EXAFLOPS. Prodigy’s 3X lower cost per MIPS and 10X lower power translates to a 4X lower data center Total Cost of Ownership (TCO), enables billions of dollars of savings for hyperscalers such as Google, Facebook, Amazon, Alibaba, and others.”

Question is, why would Tachyum share Akida 2.0 on linked in?

 

[alwaysgreen]

Sorry if I'm slow but what does this have to do with BRN????

It's just about how ASX invested $250 million to develop a blockchain system to curb bot trading then scrapped it without implementing it. Essentially the tech was supposed to be able to put an end to the ridiculous bot trading that has helped the shorters drag down shares like Brainchip one share trade at a time. The blockchain tech was meant to ensure every trade was traceable etc.

The undertone/insinuation is that the ASX was pressured to just keep it as is so traders can keep up their manipulation without fear of sanction.

 

[TheFunkMachine]

I just came across this stock of the day pick from ausbiz.

The level of misinformation, negative sentiment and just sheer BS in this discussion makes me think we have some scared shorters on our hand.

It’s sad that these so called market analysts has not even taken their time to understand the fundamentals of the company they discuss or the significance of this 2generstion Akida announcement. Laughable. They are still calling brainchip a moms and dad punt «pre revenu» highly speculative etc.

US10915324B2 System and method for creating and executing an instruction word for simultaneous execution of instruction operations 20180816 DANILAK RADOSLAV

a processing architecture and related methodology that utilizes location-aware processing that assigns Arithmetic Logic Units (ALU) in a processor to instruction operations based on prior allocations of ALUs to prior instruction operations. Such embodiments minimize the influence of internal transmission delay on wires between ALUs in a processor, with a corresponding significant increase in clock speed, reduction in power consumption and reduction in size.

A methodology for creating and executing instruction words for simultaneous execution of instruction operations is provided. The methodology includes creating a dependency graph of nodes with instruction operations, the graph including at least a first node having a first instruction operation and a second node having a second instruction operation being directly dependent upon the outcome of the first instruction operation; first assigning the first instruction operation to a first instruction word; second assigning a second instruction operation: to the first instruction word upon satisfaction of a first at least one predetermined criteria; and to a second instruction word, that is scheduled to be executed during a later clock cycle than the first instruction word, upon satisfaction of a second at least one predetermined criteria; and executing, in parallel by the plurality of ALUs and during a common clock cycle, any instruction operations within the first instruction word.
