Would appear HPE including neuromorphic now in there research lab intern roles.

From about 4 days ago.



The Artificial Intelligence Research Lab within Hewlett Packard Labs focuses on researching and developing technologies, architectures, hardware, and software to create cutting edge solutions in key areas of Deep Learning and Machine Learning. This is a unique opportunity to work at a start-up pace within a big company. We are looking for an entrepreneurial mind-set, and a deep passion to take a ML problem and conduct research and come up with a solution with a fast turnaround time. You will have an opportunity to work with Machine Learning experts who have made multiple successful products and will get guidance and coaching in different areas including software engineering, hardware optimizations, data pipelining, and innovations from latest AI research to bring hardened Deep Learning solutions to the real world.

The Emerging Accelerators Team in the Artificial Intelligence Research Lab has openings for Research Associate interns who are pursuing a PhD degree with a background in electrical engineering, computer engineering, physics, or related fields. The researcher will investigate high-performance accelerators which combine CMOS and emerging ReRAM device technologies (or memristors) for computing applications including network security, machine learning, neuromorphic computing, finite automata, and other novel computational models. The work can span a range of activities including the design of prototype systems and/or integrated circuits; invention of new architectures, circuits, and/or devices to take advantage of physical hardware systems for acceleration of target computations; the operation of existing hardware platforms; and performance evaluations with competing systems.
Hi Fmf,

Combining CMOS and ReRAM doesn't auger well ...

Unfortunately wrong logo and company.
The blurb it links to if you click on it notes Virpi Pennanen, CEO of NVISO Group and that is the Nviso group we are all aware of.
The Nviso.eu is a totally different company of which Virpi Pennanen is not CEO.

I have emailed JPR communications so hopefully that is the correct person to fix the error.

Funnily enough, this lady’s name just popped up in my Google search on Fortinet, a Silicon Valley-headquartered cybersecurity company with a global presence that develops and sells security solutions like firewalls, endpoint security and intrusion detection systems. They recently introduced Fortinet Advisor, their Generative AI Assistant. Reading a headline about that announcement is how I stumbled upon them.

No indication that we are involved, but certainly an intriguing second degree connection via the Australia-based CEO of NVISO Group Ltd (the company’s new name after restructuring), who left Fortinet less than a year ago and on very friendly terms, it seems, judging from her colleagues’ LinkedIn comments responding to her “Today is officially my last day with Fortinet” post.

Worth to keep an eye on…

(Odd though, that as Fortinet’s Sales Director for Southern Region in Australia Virpi Pennanen had been in charge of NT (!) and seemingly all of WA, not only its southern half?)

Unfortunately, Renesas linked with PlumerAi on the RA MCU and M85.

However, drawing a long bow, as not really read up on PlumerAi, was the Renesas tape out for a 3rd party as I read it and the subsequent BRN update about Akida being able to work with the M85 part of this....hmmmm, I wish :unsure:

Thankfully I personally don't mix electronics and drive :ROFLMAO:
'sfunny - the old engineers who were there on the cusp of the changeover from valves to transistors would always caution the young engineers not to mix valves and transistors ... not that I ever met one who was tempted to, what with the difference in operating voltages - but that was well before the days of 0.5.

Even at 0.8, you could still have a few drinks and still drive. In fact I was a much better driver at 0.8 than I ever was at 0.5.

AI Assistants, In-Car Gaming And Tons Of Range: Coming To Your Next Mercedes-Benz​

Mercedes has some bold, experimental ideas for how your driving experience could feel in the next few years. Will customers bite?​

Mercedes-Benz Tech CES Announcements 2024

The fight for automotive supremacy in the future won't come down to horsepower or mechanical specs. It will probably come down to software; at least, that's what the car companies tell us. That idea may seem radical to anyone driving a car from the last decade who's just happy that their Apple CarPlay or Android Auto setup works so well, but all of the automakers have much bigger, grander plans for what we experience inside their cars than we currently do.
Case in point: Mercedes-Benz's big announcements at CES 2024 aren't about performance or even electric range this time, but the future software-driven features coming to its cars very soon.

The giant Las Vegas tech show served as a preview for a bevy of Mercedes technologies coming to both its EVs and internal combustion-powered cars starting next year, including its smartest voice-controlled virtual assistant ever thanks to AI; more expansions into in-car gaming; a taste of its new all-encompassing suite, MB.OS; the North American debut of its future electric sedan and Tesla Model 3 competitor; and a unique system co-developed with musician will.i.am that "allows music to react to how the car is being driven," in Mercedes' words. (More on that in its own story right here.) Let's dive in.

Get Fully Charged​

In-car software and AI is the big story at CES this year
After years of EV and concept car debuts, automakers like Mercedes, Volkswagen and BMW are focused on upping their software game at the tech mega-show in 2024. All car companies have huge plans for revenue through software features, including via subscriptions.

MB.OS' Party Trick Is Its Virtual Assistant​

Mercedes-Benz Tech CES Announcements 2024

If you've been fortunate enough to experience Mercedes' MBUX software system across all three parts of the Hyperscreen on certain EQ electric cars, you know how powerful and graphically impressive it is. (At least, that's my take.) Equally impressive are the voice controls, where you can say "Hey, Mercedes" and get a swift response to most things you need without having to fish through the Hyperscreen's menus when you're on the road.
To that, Mercedes says: "You ain't seen nothing yet." The MB.OS system coming soon to the company's all-new MMA platform is a purpose-built chip-to-cloud operating system that brings a number of diverse functions under one roof: in-car content, charging, maps, car setting controls and automated driving.
Mercedes-Benz Tech CES Announcements 2024

A big part of that will be the MBUX Virtual Assistant, which Mercedes calls " the most human-like interface with a Mercedes-Benz yet." Powered by ChatGPT—something Volkswagen announced today at CES as well—Mercedes' Chief Technology Officer Markus Schäfer said the system can do more than just follow your voice commands. It can have a "dialogue" with users, and even pick up on the moods they're in to respond with "empathy."
The AI has four different personality traits—Natural, Predictive, Personal and Empathetic—that can be adjusted to your personal tastes or situation behind the wheel. The AI Projects as a glowing three-pointed star logo with various color changes and animations to illustrate its state of being. It could glow a certain way when providing a warning, for example, and a different way when it's listening to you.
"In some cases, hopefully, the assistant predicts already what you want, depending on your moods, the daytime, the location you are in and the circumstances you are in," Schäfer said. But after an easy conversation, Schäfer said the assistant "can address whatever you want from your car, whether you want entertainment, you want information and so on."

Mercedes-Benz Tech CES Announcements 2024

The assistant has four different "emotions" and can respond to your requests based on your own mood at the time. "You can have a constant interaction with your car," Schäfer told InsideEVs at a press roundtable earlier today.
In other words, this system should do a lot more than just tell you where the nearest charging station is when you say "Hey, Mercedes." It may also commiserate with you about how annoyed you are to be stuck in traffic.

Surround Navigation Turns Your Driving Experience Into A Video Game​

3D Navigation

These days, it's not uncommon for high-tech EVs to have displays with visualizations of the cars and objects in the surrounding area; Tesla's center screen is arguably the best example of this. But Mercedes is taking this to a different level.
Using the Unity game engine, the next-gen cars will offer MBUX Surround Navigation: a 3D visualization that allows you to "see what the car sees," as Mercedes puts it. Though your eyes are good at what they do, this system gives more of a bird's-eye view of other cars, trucks, cyclists or even pedestrians—superimposing potential hazards onto the route guidance to help you navigate a tough urban environment beyond just what you yourself can see.
"So for example, navigating through downtown traffic, finding a parking spot, knowing where you're going to make your turn"—all are projected via Surround Navigation, Mercedes' Chief Software Officer Magnus Östberg said during the press conference. The 3D game engine projects "all the sensor data that we're taking from the cameras, the radar, the LIDAR, that really gives the driver situational awareness. It's not only beautiful graphics but also a safe experience," he said.
Though we weren't offered the chance to experience this for ourselves at CES, it does seem like an impressive evolution of the navigation experience—and a good visualization of much of the data the car normally keeps to itself.

More In-Car Gaming Soon​

Mercedes-Benz Tech CES Announcements 2024

Mercedes also knows you need something to do while you're charging, and at least one answer to that is the video games I had when I was a kid. Bubble Bobble is back, kids. Get excited.
Mercedes announced a wide array of partnerships bringing new music, movies, video games and other content to those giant screens soon. Those include Audible and Amazon Music for podcasts and audiobooks, as well as Antstream Arcade for retro cloud-based gaming. It's not far off what you can already do with your smartphone, but the native access to these services should provide a nice experience on some much bigger, more high-res screens when you have downtime in the car.

The Next CLA Makes Its North American Debut​

Concept CLA Live CES

Though some early iterations of these features are available on the new 2024 Mercedes E-Class, which runs a "precursor" to MB.OS, the real show starts when the car above hits the road next year. That's the Concept CLA Class, which first debuted at IAA Munich in 2023 and is making its first-ever appearance in North America for CES.
The final production version of the next CLA isn't expected to veer too far from the concept here, and when it does, it will not only be a Model 3 fighter—something badly needed in an SUV-focused world—but it will debut MB.OS for the first time. That car will also be the first of at least four EVs on the new MMA platform, which, together with MB.OS, represents a much more cohesive transformation of Mercedes than we've seen before. By putting all these technologies together with one software platform, the automaker says it can offer a level of features and personalization it's never been able to before.
And the next CLA is expected to be a mighty EV, not just a computer on wheels. With an 800-volt architecture, an estimated 466 miles of range on Europe's WLTP cycle and the ability to add an estimated 248 miles of range in 15 minutes, this should be a winner if it even come close to those claims. Furthermore, with an estimated 5.2 miles per kilowatt-hour, it should be one of the most efficient EVs on the road.
We'll see this and more from Mercedes as CES goes on this week.

The below is disappointing Bravo. I was expecting the full blown version in the 2024 model. I'm not sure if the 2024 model will have the new MBUX etc or the 5 microcontrollers. Might have to wait another year :(

Agree but having a look at PlumerAi they seemed to be working on BNN not SNN.

Not sure if that changed but was what they were blogging about back 21 and is some of the info on the ARM site too.

But Renesas are going to announce the new 22nm with BrainChip shortly, don’t you think? They just didn’t want to do it too close to their M-85/arm offering.
