Business Wire
BrainChip Holdings Ltd. (ASX: BRN), a leading provider of
ultra-low power high performance AI technology, today announced its
participation at the AI Field Day 1 virtual event November
18-20.
AI Field Day is the first-ever entry into the long-running
series of Tech Field Day events presented by Gestalt IT. BrainChip
will present the Akida™ Neuromorphic System-on-Chip (NSoC), the
company’s next-generation, ultra-low power event domain neural
processor. The Akida NSoC is capable of inference and incremental
learning and supports many of today’s standard neural networks. The
AI Field Day will be a live-streamed meeting of invite-only
influencers November 19 at 9 a.m. PST. The session will later be
available for viewing on the program’s social media channels.
The Akida NSoC is a revolutionary advanced neural networking
processor that brings artificial intelligence to the edge in a way
that existing technologies are not capable. The solution is
high-performance, small, ultra-low power and enables a wide array
of edge capabilities. The Akida NSoC represents a new breed of
neural processing devices for Edge AI applications. Comparisons to
leading DNN accelerator devices show significantly better
images/second/watt in video applications running industry standard
benchmarks with MobileNet, MobileNet-SSD and Key Word Spotting,
while maintaining excellent accuracy.
The Akida NSoC is designed for use as an embedded accelerator or
as a co-processor. It includes high-speed data interfaces such as
PCI-Express, USB, I2S and I3C. An on-chip MPU is used to control
the configuration of the Akida neuron fabric as well as off-chip
communication of metadata. The Akida NSoC is a scalable solution
utilizing a built-in serial chip-to-chip connectivity to allow up
to 64 devices to be arrayed as a single solution.
“We are excited to be among the first companies invited to
present at AI Field Day and look forward to sharing with attendees
the advancements that we have made in artificial intelligence
through the development of our Akida technology,” said Louis
DiNardo, BrainChip CEO. “As AI continues to move out of the data
center and cloud to the Edge where data is being created, we are
enabling inference and incremental learning for a wide variety of
use cases. We believe that our presentation at AI Field Day will be
among the most enlightening and showcase the fundamental shift that
is occurring in the industry and how Akida is leading that
change.”
Tech Field Day is a series of invite-only technical meetings
between delegates invited from around the world and sponsoring
enterprise IT companies that share their products and ideas through
presentations, demos, roundtables, and more. Over 2-3 days, a panel
of a dozen delegates interact with 6-10 companies on-site in areas
like Silicon Valley. These sessions are live-streamed, and
recordings are shared across their social media channels like
YouTube and Twitter. These events focus on enterprise IT topics
from the datacenter to the cloud, mobility and networking to
security and storage.
About BrainChip Holdings Ltd (ASX: BRN)
BrainChip is a global technology company that is producing a
groundbreaking neuromorphic processor that brings artificial
intelligence to the edge in a way that is beyond the capabilities
of other products. The chip is high performance, small, ultra-low
power and enables a wide array of edge capabilities that include
on-chip training, learning and inference. The event-based neural
network processor is inspired by the spiking nature of the human
brain and is implemented in an industry standard digital process.
By mimicking brain processing BrainChip has pioneered a processing
architecture, called Akida™, which is both scalable and flexible to
address the requirements in edge devices. At the edge, sensor
inputs are analyzed at the point of acquisition rather than through
transmission via the cloud to a data center. Akida is designed to
provide a complete ultra-low power and fast AI Edge Network for
vision, audio, olfactory and smart transducer applications. The
reduction in system latency provides faster response and a more
power efficient system that can reduce the large carbon footprint
of data centers.
