SpiNNaker-Based Supercomputer Launches in Dresden

A new neuromorphic supercomputer is claiming the title of world’s biggest. University of Dresden spinout SpiNNcloud, formed to commercialize technology based on a second generation of Steve Furber’s SpiNNaker neuromorphic architecture, is now offering a five-billion neuron supercomputer in the cloud, as well as smaller commercial systems for on-prem use. Among the startup’s first customers are Sandia National Labs, Technische Universität München and Universität Göttingen.
The first generation of the SpiNNaker architecture, an academic project led by Arm architecture co-inventor Steve Furber, was created 10 years ago and is used in more than 60 research groups in more than 23 countries today. The second generation of SpiNNaker architecture, SpiNNaker2, is substantially different to the first, SpiNNcloud co-CEO Hector Gonzalez told EE Times.
“We don’t have a bottom-up approach, where you try to encode every single synapse of the brain into silicon,” he said. “We have an approach that is more practical. We follow inspiration from the brain where we believe it makes sense, where we see tangible effects on efficient compute.”
Gonzalez calls SpiNNaker2’s architecture a hybrid computer—combining acceleration for three different types of workloads, the intersection of which SpiNNcloud thinks will be the future of AI. These workloads are: brain-inspired spiking neural networks, practical application-inspired deep neural networks and symbolic models—which provide reliability and explainability.
Spiking neural networks (SNNs) mimic the brain’s dynamic sparsity for the ultimate energy efficiency. Deep neural networks (DNNs), which form the bulk of mainstream AI today, are excellent learners and very scalable, but less energy efficient and are sometimes criticized for being a “black box”—that is, they are not explainable. Symbolic models, formerly known as “expert systems,” have a rule-based backbone that makes them good at reasoning, but they have limited ability to generalize and adapt to other problems. In the SpiNNaker context, symbolic models provide explainability and can help make AI models more robust against phenomena like hallucination.
Future AI models will combine all three disciplines, making systems that can generalize their knowledge, be efficient and behave intelligently, per DARPA’s definition of the “third wave of AI,” Gonzalez said. SpiNNcloud is working with various groups of researchers on this. Possibilities include DNN layers for feature extraction followed by spiking layers, for example.
“This type of architecture enables things you wouldn’t do with traditional architectures because you cannot embed the event-based [properties] into the standard cascaded processors you have with traditional architectures,” he said. “So this enables entirely new fields.”
“We have the potential to deploy applications in these three fields and particularly at the intersection we have the capacity to deploy models that cannot be scaled up in in standard hardware,” he added.
Gonzalez’s example of a neuro-symbolic workload, NARS-GPT (short for non-axiomatic reasoning system), is part-DNN with a symbolic engine backbone. This combination outperformed GPT-4 in reasoning tests.
“The trouble with scaling up these models in standard architectures is that DNN accelerators often rely on tile-based approaches, but they don’t have cores with full programmability to implement rule-based engines for the symbolic part,” he said. By contrast, SpiNNaker2 can execute this model in real time.
NARS-GPT, which uses all three types of workloads SpiNNaker2 is designed for, outperformed GPT-4 in reasoning. (Source: SpiNNcloud)Other work combining SNNs and symbolic engines includes SPAUN (semantic pointer architecture unified network) from the University of Waterloo. The connectivity required is too complex to execute in real time on GPUs, Gonzalez said.
Practical applications that exist today for this type of architecture include personalized drug discovery. Gonzalez cites work from the University of Leipzig, which deploys many small models that talk to each other over SpiNNaker’s high speed mesh. This work is aiming to enable personalized drug discovery searches.
“Standard architectures like GPUs are overkill for this application because the models are quite small, and you wouldn’t be able to leverage the huge parallelism you have in these small constrained [compute] units in such a highly parallel manner,” he said.
Optimization problems also suit SpiNNaker’s highly parallel mesh, Gonzalez added, and there are many applications that could use an AI that does not hallucinate. Smart city infrastructure can use its very low latency, and it can also be used for quantum emulation (the second generation architecture has added true random number generation to each core for this).
In-house accelerators
The SpiNNaker2 chip has 152 cores connected in a highly parallel, low power mesh.Each core has an off-the-shelf Arm Cortex-M microcontroller core alongside in-house designed native accelerators for neuromorphic operators, including exponentials and logarithms, a true random number generator, and a MAC array for DNN acceleration.
A lightweight network on-chip is based on a GALS (globally asynchronous, locally synchronous) architecture, meaning each of the compute units behaves asynchronously but they are locally clocked. This mesh of compute units can be run in an event-based way—activated only when something happens.
SpiNNaker2 cores, based on Arm Cortex-M cores plus additional acceleration, are connected in a mesh. Cores can be switched off when not in use to to save power. (Source: SpiNNcloud)A custom crossbar gives the Cortex-M cores and their neighbors access to memory in each of the nodes. SpiNNcloud has designed partitioning strategies to split workloads across this mesh of cores.
The true random number generator, SpiNNcloud’s patented design, samples thermal noise from the PLLs. This is exploited to produce randomness that can be used for neuromorphic applications (e.g. stochastic synapses) and in quantum emulation.
The chip uses an adaptive body biasing (ABB) scheme called reverse body bias based on IP developed by Racyics, which allows SpiNNcloud to operate transistors as low as 0.4 V (close to sub-threshold operation) to reduce power consumption while maintaining performance.
The company also uses a patented dynamic voltage frequency scaling (DVFS) scheme at the core level to save power. Cores can be entirely switched off if not needed, inspired by the brain’s energy-proportional properties.
“Brains are very efficient because they are energy proportional—they only consume energy when it’s required,” he said. “This isn’t just about spiking networks—we can do spiking networks, but this is about taking that brain inspiration to different levels of how the system operates its resources efficiently.”
The SpiNNcloud board has 48 SpiNNaker2 chips. Ninety of these boards fit into a rack, with a full 16-rack system comprising 69,120 chips. (Source: SpiNNcloud)SpiNNcloud’s board has 48 SpiNNaker2 chips, with 90 boards to a rack. The full Dresden system will be 16 racks (69,120 chips total) for a total of 10.5 billion neurons. Half of that, five billion neurons, has been deployed so far; it can achieve 1.5 PFLOPS (32-bit, using Arm cores), and 179 PFLOPS (8-bit, using MAC accelerators). Theoretical peak performance per chip is 5.4 TOPS, but realistic utilization would mean around 5.0 TOPS, Gonzalez said.
Chips on the board can communicate with each other in the order of a millisecond, even at large scale. The full-size system has chips connected in a toroidal mesh for the shortest possible communication paths between chips (this has been optimized based on research from the University of Manchester).
SpiNNcloud’s Dresden supercomputer is available for cloud access, while the first production run for commercial customer systems will be in the first half of 2025.

For Infineon, AI Is the Key to IoT’s Potential
- By Mark N. Vena

The internet of things (IoT) represents a transformative wave in technology, promising to revolutionize how we interact with our surroundings. The business potential of IoT devices is rapidly evolving, driven by advancements in sensor technology, expanding applications, and increasing connectivity. This evolution is unfolding so swiftly that it is challenging to grasp its implications fully.
At a high level, the IoT connects devices in homes, factories, and public spaces. Examples include refrigerators that order groceries when they run low, cars that cooperate to find parking spots, and systems that proactively maintain industrial plants remotely to prevent outages. The goal is to reduce expenses and energy usage.
More Powerful, Smaller, and Lower Cost
One of the primary reasons for the rapid acceleration of IoT is the continuous advancement in sensor technology. Sensors are becoming smaller, more powerful, and more energy-efficient, enabling a broader range of devices to become “smart.”These sensors collect data on various metrics, from environmental conditions to personal health indicators. Their proliferation lays the groundwork for a vast network of interconnected devices that can communicate and collaborate to perform complex tasks.
Importantly, the cost of smart sensors has decreased dramatically, making them available in low-cost and affordable products, which has increased consumers’ interest.
AI Benefits Big Data Analysis
Another critical factor is the explosion of data generated by IoT devices. As these devices become more prevalent, they produce vast volumes of data that can be analyzed to derive valuable insights. Manufacturers and service providers can use this data to optimize processes, improve efficiency, and enhance decision-making.For example, in manufacturing, IoT devices can monitor machinery in real time, predicting failures before they occur and scheduling maintenance proactively. This benefit reduces downtime and extends the lifespan of equipment, leading to significant cost savings.
Health Care and Smart Cities Are Big Potential Markets
IoT devices are proving transformative in health care. Wearable devices can continuously monitor vital signs, providing users and health care providers with real-time health data. This attribute allows for personalized and proactive health care, where conditions can be detected and addressed early.Remote monitoring can also reduce the need for hospital visits, making health care more accessible and less burdensome for patients. The benefits of IoT in health care are vast, encompassing everything from chronic disease management to emergency response systems.
Smart cities are another intriguing area where IoT is making a substantial impact. Integrating IoT devices into urban infrastructure makes cities more efficient, sustainable, and livable. Intelligent traffic management systems can reduce congestion and improve safety, while smart grids can optimize energy consumption and reduce waste.
Environmental sensors can monitor air quality and noise levels, providing data that can inform policy and improve public health. Integrating IoT in urban planning can create cities that are more responsive to their inhabitants’ needs.
IoT Benefits Extend to the Consumer Sector
Smart homes with IoT devices offer increased convenience, security, and energy efficiency. The potential for enhancing daily life is immense, from smart thermostats that learn and adjust to user preferences to security systems that provide real-time surveillance and alerts. These devices can also be integrated with voice assistants, creating a seamless and intuitive user experience.Despite the rapid advancements, the full potential of IoT is challenging to comprehend because it represents a fundamental shift in how we interact with technology and data. The interconnected nature of IoT devices means that their benefits are not just additive but multiplicative.
As more devices come online and begin to communicate with each other, the possibilities for innovation expand exponentially. This network effect makes it challenging to predict how IoT will transform industries and daily life.
Infineon Bets on the ‘Edge’ To Optimize IoT’s Business Potential
Infineon Technologies is one of the leading global semiconductor manufacturers specializing in microelectronics. The company provides innovative solutions for automotive, industrial, and consumer markets, focusing on energy efficiency, mobility, and security.While its capabilities can be broadly applied to multiple markets, its next-generation PSoC (programmable system-on-chip) Edge portfolio, which features powerful AI capabilities for consumer and industrial applications in the IoT space, is perhaps the poster child for overall industry optimism.
Manufacturers integrate configurable digital and analog circuits into PSoC devices. These devices offer improved design revision capability and reduced component count because an on-chip microprocessor manages them. They are efficient, take up less board space, use less power and lower system costs. These attributes appeal broadly to IoT device makers as win-win elements.
AI Takes These Capabilities to a Higher Level
Increasingly, next-generation IoT edge devices require more performance without sacrificing power. Because Infineon’s new PSoC solutions use machine language (ML) capabilities to compute alertness while balancing performance and providing integrated security for connected home devices, wearables, and numerous industrial applications, AI becomes a significant benefit.AI enhances voice/audio sensing for activation and control, vision-based position detection, and face/object detection. As a result, IoT devices can become more intuitive, anticipative, less reactionary, and proactive in their operation.
Examples of these enhancements are security system cameras that can discern with a high degree of confidence between external intruders and animals or HVAC systems that can avoid costly repairs by proactively signaling device failures weeks or months in advance.
In my recent interview with Infineon’s EVP of IoT, Compute, and Wireless, Sam Geha said AI will make legacy IoT devices look crude and archaic. “As billions more IoT devices are deployed into the market, more information must be stored, processed, and harnessed. AI will help connect our real world to the digital world, from buildings and homes to wearable consumer and fitness devices to factories and cities,” Geha remarked.
Closing Thoughts
To be sure, Infineon’s involvement in the IoT space was strong before “internet of things” became a buzzphrase.The company’s IoT strategy enables secure, energy-efficient, intelligent, connected devices by leveraging its expertise in microelectronics to provide comprehensive solutions, including sensors, microcontrollers, and connectivity modules.
Infineon prioritizes robust security features to protect data and privacy in IoT applications. Its approach emphasizes seamless integration and interoperability, supporting diverse applications from smart homes to industrial automation.
Moreover, Infineon has a strong “design-in” confidence reputation that puts OEMs at ease, a significant advantage given that these solutions are being integrated into solutions that can cost $60,000 or more, as is the case with EVs.
Geha also believes that a microcontroller approach like Infineon’s new PSoC Edge 84 family is the most cost-effective way to democratize these solutions in a broad spectrum of products that use AI and ML in wearables, smart homes and other low-power “always-on domain” products with autonomous analog sensing supporting battery applications, such as smart locks, video doorbells, and security cameras.
“Infineon’s vision is to create capabilities in this space that can scale, make it easy for design partners to utilize its solutions over multiple generations of products, and get faster to market in a consistent and reliable manner,” Geha stated.
The IoT market is projected to grow significantly, with an estimated value of over $1 trillion by 2025. This growth is driven by the increasing adoption of IoT devices across various industries, including health care, manufacturing, and smart cities. Over the next five years, analysts expect the market to experience a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of around 25%, highlighting its rapid expansion and transformative potential. These are not trivial data points.
While the overall market seems obsessed with how the likes of Apple and Google are battling over AI and its comprehension into its smartphone, PC, and tablet operating systems, Infineon has quietly played a leadership role in putting the pieces in place to optimize AI at the edge in the IoT space.
While it may not always get the headlines it deserves, Infineon continues to quietly demonstrate IoT market governance, innovation, and credibility, which few companies have achieved.

While the overall market seems obsessed with how the likes of Apple and Google are battling over AI and its comprehension in their smartphone, PC, and tablet operating systems, Infineon has quietly played a leadership role in putting the pieces in place to optimize AI at the edge in the IoT space.
A reminder...
And, back in January Farshad Akhbari ( Senior Principal Platform Architect at Infineon) was on one of our podcasts where he had been involved with BrainChip for approximately one year and that he thought our technology was "very promising" said he thinks we're "underestimating ourselves".

Lab-grown meat isn’t made of cancerous cells - Science Feedback
In June 2023, the U.S. became the second country in the world to authorize the production and marketing of cell-cultivated meat. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration evaluated applications from two producers and concluded that cultivated chicken meat is safe to consume. Current scientific...healthfeedback.org
“(…) Following U.S. regulators’ approval, a video originally posted on TikTok claiming that cultivated meat is produced using animal “cancerous and pre-cancerous cells” went viral on Facebook.
The person speaking in the video is Kashif Khan, the CEO and founder of The DNA Company. Khan doesn’t appear to hold any qualification in biology or medicine, but nevertheless offers advice on preventing and reversing chronic diseases through functional medicine, a practice that lacks scientific support.
The claim stemmed from the idea that a procedure known as immortalization used for producing cultivated meat turns the cells cancerous. However, this idea is incorrect. As we will show below, immortalized doesn’t equal cancerous, and there is currently no evidence indicating that using this procedure makes cultivated meat unsafe to consume (…).
To overcome this limitation and upscale production, manufacturers use a procedure called immortalization, which consists of modifying the cells genetically so they divide indefinitely. This procedure has been used for decades in biomedical research for multiple purposes, including studies on gene and protein function, vaccine production, and drug testing.
The video claimed that immortalization turns the cells into “cancerous and pre-cancerous”. This would mean that these cells have the capacity to grow without control and invade nearby tissues (cancerous) or that they have abnormal changes that make them more likely to develop into cancer cells (pre-cancerous). However, this claim is incorrect.
While cancer cells can divide indefinitely, this is only one of the various characteristics that make them cancerous. To be considered cancerous, the cells must also have the capacity to create new blood vessels and invade neighboring tissues, and show unpredictable, uncontrollable behavior[1].
Joe Regenstein, a professor emeritus of food science at Cornell University, told AFP that this isn’t how immortalized cells behave. “Immortalized cells are essentially the exact opposite of cancer cells” because “They are highly controlled and repeatable”, said Regenstein (…).”
.. Hey I didn't say they "were" or could "grow" inside you, when dead and cooked.But they do have similar properties.
It's "common sense" where they got them from.
I have little respect, for today's "scientists" whose writings are financially funded and motivated.
Of course there is huge monetary incentive, to ensure they are "safe".
They also say, they can be made without antibiotics (Only a very small amount on initial animal harvesting) and then grown in very sterile conditions (as the lab grown meat, doesn't have an immune system, so is easily contaminated).
But the reality is, when they are doing very large scale production, they will have no choice, but to use antibiotics and various other things, in my opinion.
But hey, enjoy, I won't be touching that shit, with a 10 foot pole.
And although it will eventually be illegal in the Market to differentiate between Natural and Lab grown, the types of meat products I eat, I doubt will be replicated anytime soon.
