Building on the principles of its predecessor, the Akida 2nd Generation IP further enhances AI processing at the edge by integrating additional capabilities tailored for spatio-temporal and temporal event-based neural networks. This second iteration doubles down on programmability and includes expanded activation functions and enhanced Skip Connections, offering significant flexibility for complex applications involving dynamic data streams. A key feature of the Akida 2nd Generation is its innovative approach to sparsity, optimizing the AI model's overall efficiency. The scalable fabric of nodes in this version can adeptly handle various weights and activation bit depths, adapting the computational requirements to suit the application needs effectively. This capability ensures that the Akida 2nd Generation can manage sophisticated algorithms with a heightened level of precision and power efficiency. Furthermore, this IP iteration embraces fully digital neuromorphic implementations, allowing for predictable, cost-effective design and deployment. It minimizes the computational demands and bandwidth consumption of traditional AI models by focusing compute power precisely where needed, ensuring a seamless experience with lower latency and enhanced processing accuracy. Its flexibility in configuration and scalability at the post-silicon stage makes it an essential tool for future-ready AI applications, particularly those that require real-time interaction and decision-making capabilities.
The Akida IP is a revolutionary neural processor platform that brings real-time AI processing capabilities to the edge. Inspired by the brain's cognitive functions, Akida IP employs neuromorphic principles to deliver low-power AI solutions specifically crafted for applications like vision, audio, and sensor fusion. It features a scalable architecture composed of up to 128 neural nodes, each supporting an efficient allocation of MACs (multiply-accumulate operations) and configurable SRAM for enhanced processing capacity. This IP is designed to operate independently, integrating seamlessly with any existing microcontroller or application processor. The emphasis on event-based hardware acceleration allows it to minimize computational and communicational loads, significantly reducing the need for host CPU intervention. Additionally, Akida IP supports on-chip learning, including one-shot and few-shot learning capabilities, which limits the transmission of sensitive data, hence bolstering security and privacy measures. With a silicon-proven design that prioritizes cost-effectiveness and predictability, BrainChip’s Akida IP enables fully digital neuromorphic implementations. It leverages flexible configurations that can be adjusted post-silicon, ensuring adaptability in deployment. The support for multiple layers and varied bit weights and activations facilitates the development of sophisticated neural network models, accommodating complex AI solutions with increased scalability and configurability.
