... and Elon may well yet need Akida 1,2 or 3 to get to Mars! Can't wait to hear from Vorago they have successfully completed the radiation proofing of Akida.

The following is from the SEP 1 announcement last year announcing BRN's collaboration with Vorago.

"The Akida neuromorphic processor is uniquely suited for spaceflight and aerospace applications. The device is a complete neural processor and does not require an external CPU, memory or Deep Learning Accelerator (DLA). Reducing component count, size and power consumption are paramount concerns in spaceflight and aerospace applications. The level of integration and ultra- low power performance of Akida supports these critical criteria. Additionally, Akida provides incremental learning. With incremental learning new classifiers can be added to the network without retraining the entire network. The benefit in spaceflight and aerospace applications is significant as real-time local incremental learning allows continuous operation when new discoveries or circumstances occur."
