2024 BrainChip Discussion, page-5887

In the below referenced and linked BAE Systems sponsored podcast entitled ‘Advancing Cognitive Warfare: Unveiling Neuromorphic Frontiers’, I heard Dr. Joseph Guerci, an internationally recognised leader in research and development of next generation sensor and cognitive systems

opining that Akida was the mostexciting development of our time, even more important than ChatGPT, before then going on to explain:

“…thewhole point of a neural network is the weighting that goes onto theinterconnects from layer to layer. And the interesting thing about that isyou’ve got companies like BrainChip in Australia… that is not by any stretchusing the most sophisticated foundry to achieve ridiculous line lists likeconventional FPGAs and GPUs do …instead it’s just a different architecture.

Butwhy is that such a big deal?

Well,in the case of BrainChip as well as Intel and IBM, these chips can be the sizeof a postage stamp.

Andbecause they’re implementing what are called spiking neural networks, or SNNs,they only draw power when there’s a change of state, and that’s a very shortamount of time, and it’s relatively low-power.

Soat the end of the day, you have something the size of a postage stamp that’simplementing a very, very sophisticated convolution…

Thisis the thing that changes everything

So nowyou see this little UAV coming in, and you don’t think for a second that itcould do, you know, the most sophisticated electronic warfare functions, forexample pulse sorting, feature identification, geolocation, all these thingsthat require, you know, thousands of lines of code and lots of high-speedembedded computing, all of a sudden it’s done on a postage stamp.

That’sthe crazy thing.

Andby the way, in my research we’ve done it, we’ve implemented pulse, theinterleaving, we’ve implemented, you know, ATR, specifically on theBrainChip from Australia…”

If you have not read the linked article regarding Dr. Guerci in my above post hopefully the above will cause you to do so. You will then be in a position to weigh
Dr. Guerci's opinion against that of anonymous HC posters.
