Business Wire
BrainChip Holdings Ltd (ASX: BRN, OTCQX: BRCHF, ADR: BCHPY), the
world’s first commercial producer of ultra-low power, fully
digital, event-based, neuromorphic AI, today announced that
Frontgrade Gaisler, a leading provider of radiation-hardened
microprocessors for space applications, has licensed its Akida™ IP
for incorporation into space-grade, fault-tolerant system-on-chip
solutions for hardware AI acceleration. This commercial license
agreement paves the path forward for AI chips to be deployed in
space. The Akida neuromorphic computing solution was selected based
upon providing real time data stream processing with resiliency,
autonomy and accuracy at the lowest power, mass and volume.
The European Space Agency (ESA) has been leading the efforts to
deploy neuromorphic computing to the furthest edge of AI. “While
many fields no doubt can benefit from neuromorphic computing, one
essential area is computer vision applications where current FPGA
or GPU technology does not bring satisfactory results for edge
deployments when considering mass, volume and power constraints,”
said Laurent Hili, microelectronics and data handling engineer at
the ESA. “This program has demonstrated the superiority of
neuromorphic technology through several on-going activities with
satellite primes and IP/components suppliers such as Frontgrade
Gaisler and BrainChip."
BrainChip’s neuromorphic AI will boost space-borne, on-board
computers with superior power efficiency and inference performance
while maintaining compatibility with existing Convolutional Neural
Networks (CNNs).
“For the last 20 years, Gaisler’s space-grade microprocessors
have been successfully deployed to every planet of our solar system
in missions from ESA as well as most other space agencies,” said
Sandi Habinc, General Manager at Frontgrade Gaisler, a Frontgrade
company. “Together with BrainChip, we evaluated the Akida IP and
decided that the next step of licensing it would beneficially
augment our future space processors with neuromorphic AI.”
“This collaboration with Frontgrade Gaisler to license Akida IP
for implementation into space SoCs represents an important step in
satisfying the market demand for space-based AI deployments,
turning into reality what once was considered unattainable,” said
Sean Hehir, CEO of BrainChip. “We are pleased to expand on our
trusted relationship with Frontgrade as they push the boundaries of
space computing.”

About BrainChip Holdings Ltd (ASX: BRN, OTCQX: BRCHF, ADR:
BCHPY) BrainChip is the worldwide leader in Edge AI on-chip
processing and learning. The company’s first-to-market, fully
digital, event-based AI processor, Akida™, uses neuromorphic
principles to mimic the human brain, analyzing only essential
sensor inputs at the point of acquisition, processing data with
unparalleled efficiency, precision, and economy of energy. Akida
uniquely enables Edge learning local to the chip, independent of
the cloud, dramatically reducing latency while improving privacy
and data security. Akida Neural processor IP, which can be
integrated into SoCs on any process technology, has shown
substantial benefits on today’s workloads and networks, and offers
a platform for developers to create, tune and run their models
using standard AI workflows like Tensorflow/Keras. In enabling
effective Edge compute to be universally deployable across real
world applications such as connected cars, consumer electronics,
and industrial IoT, BrainChip is proving that on-chip AI, close to
the sensor, is the future, for its customers’ products, as well as
the planet. Explore the benefits of Essential AI at
