BRN Discussion Ongoing

ANZAC Day kids.

Lest We Forget.........

Looks like most have...

Not done much today and the 2nd time in as many months I have bloody covid, so spent a bit of time researching online. Now let’s see if I can find anything else worth posting.

That’s what I thought or was he just talking about noise cancelling tech in general?

Yeah, I think he was just talking generally. Same as he goes on to talking about glasses with cameras and speakers. Think Rayban and similar.
My Apple earbuds do have limited noise cancelation technology but if it was ours I would expect we would know about it by now or certainly have seen some attributable revenue.
I have no doubt it'll come, in time. Just not sure I can stick around long enough to enjoy it.

You can always add me to your will I’ll enjoy it

Didn't anyone tell you, it's all fake and just a conspiracy!
All those poor sods who died a few years ago coughing their lungs out were just fooled by the internet and should have injected themselves with bleach or shone a penlight up their chocolate starfish.

Seriously though, hope you don't get too crook and are better soon.

Sure.
We can start your abasement with some feet pics!
And then we'll get on to the paddlin'

Good on ya @Bravo , don’t sweat it mate. Your work’s a bloody ripper for us all, even if some won’t own up. And when the nobody rolls in with 700 bucks acting like big shots, we say something like that: Not even a hair on the sack but already lapaloma.

Neuromorphic computing – the brain behind AI’s next revolution​

Through research into artificial neural networks, Mercedes‑Benz and its partners from research and industry are breaking new ground in the creation of computer architectures. The company recently announced a research collaboration with the Canadian University of Waterloo in the field of neuromorphic computing. By mimicking the workings of the human brain, neuromorphic computing could make AI computations significantly more energy-efficient and faster. Safety systems could, for example, recognise traffic signs, lanes and other road users much better and react faster, even in poor visibility. And they could do so 10 times more efficiently than current systems. It has also the potential to reduce the energy required for data processing in autonomous driving by 90 percent compared to current systems.

What you’ll learn:

• What are spiking neural networks?
• What is neuromorphic computing?
• Where does BrainChip’s Akida fit in?

Spiking neural networks (SNNs) are an implementation of neuromorphic computing, an aspect of artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML). Neuromorphic computing emulates the operation of physical neurons like those found in the human brain.

SNNs have a similar layered model connectivity as other artificial neural networks (ANNs). However, SNNs use an event- or pulse-based distribution of information through the network whereas ANNs exploit wave-based distribution. As a result, SNNs are more power-efficient.


In this episode of Inside Electronics, Electronic Design’s Senior Content Director, Bill Wong, talks with Steven Brightfield, Chief Marketing Officer at BrainChip, about SNNs and the company’s Akida platform.

Akida is available as IP for inclusion in custom chips and is licensed by companies like Renesas. It’s also available from BrainChip (see figure). An M.2 version is in the works.

One of the 1st and best interviews I’ve listened fully too.

I like the way Steve talks about where the puck is going......and Brainchip is going where the PUCK is going 15.35 minute in the interview
now lets look deep into that statement. Who plays with PUCKS
where is MB testing things somewhere north of America I believe, is this just a slip of the tongue or a direct link as to where the action is taking place.

We were told quite some time ago when we learned about SiFive that RISC-V presented a good opportunity for Akida.

Now we can add Andes and Frontgrade Glaiser.

Given that all the RISC-V processor makers are in fairly early stage development compared with CPU?GPU makers, the possibility of broad adoption of Akida for RISC-V looks promising.

I seemed to remember PVDM stating maybe 5 years back that he felt (paraphrased) RISCV would be a good earner for BRN.
