Announcements
April 15, 2020: Berkeley Neuromorphic and General Vision, Inc. today announce formation of a new entity for advanced AI hardware, to retain the title of Berkeley Neuromorphic Inc. (a Delaware corporation).
General Vision will provide core competencies in NeuroMem® neuron technology intellectual property (IP), and Berkeley Neuromorphic will contribute experience with data analytic platforms and systems. The joint partnership will collaborate on IP for field-trainable gate arrays (FTGAs), next-gen neural silicon, offline machine learning analysis, non-Von Neumann architecture-optimized systems for a broad range of IP targeting FPGAs, as well as provide government and defense contract opportunities.
General Vision is a pioneer in the invention and deployment of neural hardware arising from joint patented research with IBM, with a primary focus on computer vision. They hold numerous patents in the field with licensees including Intel and Nepes Korea, and have successfully deployed five generations of silicon chip implementations ranging from 36 to 1024 neurons. Based upon patented designs, General Vision has developed a portfolio of marketable IP suitable for industrial vision and commercial low-power IOT edge deployment.
Berkeley Neuromorphic, a startup established in 2016, provides competency in computer architecture and emerging computing paradigms from earlier research at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and the University of California at Berkeley. Project experience includes massively parallel multi-core FPGA platforms (1K+ processors), hardware highly-accelerated systems, as well as new open approaches such as RISC-V as part of the original developer team. LBNL future HPC system research include a prototyping collaboration with IBM (TrueNorth ASIC arising from the DARPA SYNAPSE Program) for potential federal use by DoE and other government entities, performed in partnership with LLNL and Sandia.
Based on the combined core competencies of the two teams, the newly formed Berkeley Neuromorphic Inc. (Delaware corporation) will be well-positioned at the locus of multiple emerging trends in machine learning hardware and artificial intelligence. The resulting company will retain accreditation as a VA certified Veteran Owned Small Business (VOSB) as well as a government identified HUB Zone entity.
