BrainChip and SiFive Partner to Deploy AI/ML Technology at the Edge
April 05 2022 - 8:00AM
Business Wire
BrainChip Holdings Ltd (ASX: BRN, OTCQX: BRCHF, ADR: BCHPY), the
world’s first commercial producer of ultra-low power neuromorphic
AI chips and IP, and SiFive, Inc., the founder and leader of RISC-V
computing, have combined their respective technologies to offer
chip designers optimized AI/ML compute at the edge.
BrainChip’s AkidaTM is a revolutionary advanced neural
networking processor architecture that brings AI to the edge in a
way that existing technologies are not capable, with high
performance, ultra-low power, and on-chip learning. SiFive
Intelligence™ solutions with their highly configurable multi-core,
multi-cluster capable design, integrate software and hardware to
accelerate AI/ML applications. The integration of BrainChip’s Akida
technology and SiFive’s multi-core capable RISC-V processors will
provide a highly efficient solution for integrated edge AI
compute.
SiFive Intelligence™-based processors offer industry leading
performance and efficiency for AI and ML workloads. The highly
configurable multi-core, multi-cluster capable design has been
optimized for the broadest range of applications requiring
high-throughput, single-thread performance while under the tightest
power and area constraints.
“Employing Akida, BrainChip’s specialized, differentiated AI
engine, with high-performance RISC-V processors such as the SiFive
Intelligence Series is a natural choice for companies looking to
seamlessly integrate an optimized processor to dedicated ML
accelerators that are a must for the demanding requirements of edge
AI computing,” said Chris Jones, vice president, products at
SiFive. “BrainChip is a valuable addition to our ecosystem
portfolio”.
BrainChip’s first-to-market neuromorphic processor, Akida,
mimics the human brain to analyze only essential sensor inputs at
the point of acquisition, processing data with unparalleled
efficiency, precision, and economy of energy. Keeping AI/ML local
to the chip, independent of the cloud, also dramatically reduces
latency while improving privacy and data security.
“We are pleased to partner with SiFive and have the opportunity
to have our Akida technology integrated with their market-leading
product offerings, creating an efficient combination for edge
compute,” said Jerome Nadel, BrainChip CMO. “As we expand our
ecosystem of portfolio partners, we want to be sure that these
relationships are built on complementary technologies, enabling
capabilities, and breadth of environments so that we can expand
opportunities to as many potential customers as possible. Driving
our technology into a SiFive-based subsystem is exactly the type of
partnership that meets these goals.”

About BrainChip Holdings Ltd (ASX: BRN, OTCQX: BRCHF, ADR:
BCHPY)
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.
