BrainChip's Akida IP is an innovative neuromorphic processor that emulates the human brain's functionalities to analyze essential sensor inputs at the acquisition point. By maintaining AI/ML processes on-chip, Akida IP minimizes cloud dependency, reducing latency and enhancing data privacy. The scalable architecture supports up to 256 nodes interconnected over a mesh network, each node equipped with configurable Neural Network Layer Engines (NPEs). This event-based processor leverages data sparsity to decrease operational requirements significantly, which in turn improves performance and energy efficiency. With robust customization and the ability to perform on-chip learning, Akida IP adeptly supports a wide range of edge AI applications while maintaining a small silicon footprint.
