We are thrilled to announce that OHB Hellas has taken a leap forward in cutting-edge technology with the acquisition of BrainChip Akida Neuromorphic Processor! Our engineering team has dived into the realm of neuromorphic computing, exploring its limitless potential to revolutionize Artificial Intelligence (AI). Neuromorphic processing holds immense potential for AI applications due to its ability to mimic the brain's architecture, offering high efficiency and adaptability in processing data. This is particularly important in environments with limited resources and high computational demands, as is the case for various space applications. Alexis Chatzistylianos and Antonis Karteris have conducted some initial experiments inferencing an image classification Spiking Neural Network (SNN), to evaluate the performance of the neuromorphic processor and benchmark it against traditional CPU and GPU architectures. The neural network was based on the AkidaNet architecture and the quantized model, pretrained on the ImageNet dataset, was obtained from the Akida model zoo and converted to an Akida compatible SNN. It consists of 1.4M parameters, 32 neural processors (NPs) and a quantization scheme of 8-bit weights in the input layer, 4-bit weights in other layers and 4-bit activations. As illustrated from the charts shared below, the Akida NPU brings astounding performance gains in power efficiency and inference time, while maintaining high accuracy standards. At OHB Hellas, we are committed to staying at the forefront of technological innovation, driving progress, and shaping the future of on-board high performance computing and AI-driven data processing. Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to chart new territories in the ever-evolving landscape of space technology!
