BRN Discussion Ongoing

[Straw]

Is it just me or does it seem that all of a sudden there's a vague spectral consensus that the SP will somehow stay stagnant for 3 years (more of a statement than a question). It's just a general impression I'm getting from posts, vibes and all that.

All I can say is LOL, I don't think so (I'm going to add FFS! for good measure and apologies for not using my words -directed to the void if you will).

(Had to sedate the ferret as was beside himself - poor little guy couldn't breathe from laughing)
...and we thought we were the pessimists, though somewhat forward looking.

Announcements that drive the SP on an upwards trajectory will be like silent but deadly farts IMO. No-one will know when they're coming, but when they do - BEWARE!

In other words, don't miss the bus.

Despite all the press pounding on Cathy Wood Ark Funds, ARKK is still beating the S&P500 over 5 years. Even at this low point, Mr Market has been blowing a hurricane at her, and she is still winning. Spiking Neural Network Edge AI is the kind of Platform ARK Investment looks for, where expansion can occur via AKD2000, AKD3000, etc, adding on new edge ai solutions to build upon the Akida Neural Processing Platform.

Unfortunately for many investors though the large portion of ARK's investment capital arrived after 2020, so many investors in her fund are underwater. Disclosure I don't hold ARK shares but do read her research which is very good.

Hi Straw,

I’m still expecting Nanose in some form, (e.g. being able to detect some of the 17 diseases they are working towards) to be approved and become commercial THIS YEAR. I reckon that might be worth a few pennys!

Something else to look forward to.

I am not sure if anyone had noticed that MegaChips is promoting the use of AKIDA technology for “network packet inspection”.

Not to be one to up ramp but when a company like MegaChips that has bought a full IP licence dramatically increases the size of the market that Brainchip is targeting beyond Edge computing I just have to appear to be that way inclined.

Some years ago now I think 2019 the idea that AKIDA could sit at the entry door to data centres ensuring they were kept cyber secure was raised by myself with some support from several visionaries who are still with us but it was howled down by instant technology experts with agendas but here is living proof of what many have always know.

The Edge is just the beginning not the destination.

Could this be the reason why at the 2min mark, Rob Telson in the interview with Michael from Tech Pro Unicorn, corrected
Michael who said 60 billion, Rob said well as of yesterday (which would be the date of this announcement) it's now 70 billion?

Sorry this should be linked to Wilzy post #8976.

Not sure if this has been posted previously

I cannot wait to read similar triumphant validation from PVDM

Just reread @Diogenese’s BrainChip + SiFive post (thanks for the prod @Fact Finder) and now my post from Jack Kang takes on an all new meaning - imho

From Dio’s post:

SiFive and BrainChip have partnered to show their IP is compatible in SoC designs for embedded artificial intelligence (AI). The companies have demonstrated BrainChip’s neuromorphic processing unit (NPU) IP working alongside SiFive’s RISC–V host processor IP.

So this is another EAP which has borne fruit. It is actually working ... at least in software. They have interfaced Akida IP with their RISC-V IP. and it's working.


Focus in Jack Kang’s post shifts from triumphant validation to be replicated by BrainChip, to potential endless supply of Akida into SiFive’s 100+ customers

Also from Dio’s post:

And then they have are some interesting friends:

https://www.sifive.com/partners

... and a use case:

https://www.sifive.com/technology/scalable-microarchitectures

Huami designed the world’s first AI-powered wearable processor – Huangshan No. 1 with integrated biometric signal processing. SiFive’s Core IP E31 enabled Huami to reduce power consumption making it more than 38 percent efficient than Arm Cortex-M4.

• Huangshan No. 1 (MHS001) from Huami
• An integrated biometric signal processor using 4 dedicated AL engines and a built-in CNN based interface engine
• 38 percent more efficient than the Arm Cortex-M4
• Powered by SiFive E3

“The world’s first artificial intelligence-powered wearable chipset”

The RISC-V processors are 64-bit CPUs running CNN interface engine, so Akida can do a lot of the heavy lifting (eg, image recognition/classification) and greatly improve power consumption and speed.

Given that SiV lay claim to being the leading RISC-V fabless manufacturers, this could escalate quickly.

Might be worth checking into these guys as competition although the comment at the end gives me a little comfort.....

"However, Freund admitted that Esperanto's chip has arrived a "bit late," so there is a question of whether the startup can keep up with other companies working on low-power chips for inference"

Thoughts?

Samsung, others test Esperanto's 1,000-core RISC-V AI chip

Now you're talking our language

The best and worst analogy I've ever heard

Hi MC
Given Brainchip and SiFive have proven that AKIDA and RISC-V can be successfully integrated I think personally this has the potential to open the market available to Brainchip by increasing the processing power of Esperanto’s chip without any great add on to the electrical power consumption:

“Good software support, but is it too late?​

Karl Freund, principal analyst at Cambrian-AI Research, said Esperanto demonstrated "rock solid" performance for ET-SoC-1 with the ResNet 50, DLRM and Transformer models, though he can't share the results yet. He added that he expects the chip to only require 20 watts to run at full power.

Freund said he was initially skeptical that the ET-SoC-1 could provide a high level of inference performance using general-purpose RISC-V cores, but the results proved him wrong. "What really makes this approach unique, is that the RISC-V cores are actually doing the heavy lifting, not offloading the matrix multiplies to a MAC core or a GPU," he said.

Just as important, Freund said, Esperanto "has the programming tools and software stack to more easily adapt to new AI workloads, alongside non-AI workloads, all running on the same silicon."

However, Freund admitted that Esperanto's chip has arrived a "bit late," so there is a question of whether the startup can keep up with other companies working on low-power chips for inference”

@Rocket577 posted an article on the SiFive thread speculating that AMD might be about to use RISC-V in laptops.

When you read the article I think the author must be FU Baconlover’s brother because the sole basis of the speculation is one job add at AMD for someone with experience in RISC-V.

So leaving that aside further to my response to MC’s post the following extract from that article has relevance:

“Besides the fact that RISC-V is open source(and thus has no licensing or royalties attached), the energy savings offered by RISC-V could make it an ideal co-processor. The increasing regulations and requirements for electronic devices to minimise their energy usage is putting pressure on manufacturers to find ways to reduce their energy consumption, and CPUs are one of the biggest energy consumers in modern computers. Furthermore, the ability to reduce the energy consumption of a CPU also makes it ideal for use in portable applications such as laptops and tablets, as it will extend battery life.”

Putting together Esperanto from MC, Diogenese post, Jack Kang from TheLittleShort and the above quote from Rocket577 it does seem that AKIDA and RISC-V are a match made in heaven at precisely the right time in technology history.

Hey BRN family, how are we looking for this coming week?

 

[Shadow59]

Hey BRN family, how are we looking for this coming week?

I think it's all pretty well hanging on the 4C at the end of the week

 

[Potato]

I think it's all pretty well hanging on the 4C at the end of the week

Which based on all the research coming through and announcements, should be promising!

 

[Slade]

The 4C could drop any day next week.

 

[Potato]

The 4C could drop any day next week.

We should start to see the buyers outweigh sellers in the coming days then. 10 to one!
Bad time to be a shorter

I hope so.

 

[Zedjack33]

Could be a shorters field day if Bugga all in the 4C.

I would rather not have this be the case.
