Brain Chip releasing brain as IP core
By Jan Tångring ([email protected])
3/12 Now you can license a core called snap-64 for inclusion in your next system circuit. Snap-64 is used as computational accelerators for the AI technique called artificial neurronnät.

Brain Chips business concept is to license its design as an IP core and take the royalties per manufactured chip. It is also investing heavily in bribing their solutions via the 82 pieces of patents of which six are filed and granted.
Two years ago, we wrote about Brain Chips cooperation with Qualcomm which then offered the Brain Chip Cores called the Zeroth. Qualcomm use them in mobile processor Snapdragon 820.
Brain Chip owned since earlier this year by an Australian mineral exploration company formerly known Aziana, but in connection with the purchase renamed to Brain Chip.
Snap-64 (Spiking Neuron Adaptive Processor) has so far been implemented in an FPGA.
Brainchchip is far from the first to try to simulate the brain in electronics. It was actually one of the first ideas you had when your computer was invented.
Current projects today at IBM, which has a neuronnätsaccelerator in his chip True North and furthermore working in another project with technology from Palm founder Jeff Hawkins. Intel has neuronnätskärno in its processor Quark SE. And the 20-year old architecture Zisc still lives today under the name Neuromem in a company that calls itself General Vision.
Newer ideas about implementing artificial brain cells in memristorer explored including in Santa Barbara and in Michigan.
