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.
