BrainChip Akida Neuromorphic Processor IP

BrainChip Akida is licensable neuromorphic neural processor IP. The official IP page describes Akida 1, Akida Pico, and Akida 2 variants with event-based acceleration and IP brochure downloads.

Architecture notes include a scalable fabric of 1–128 nodes, 128 MACs per neural node, configurable 50–130K embedded local SRAM per node, DMA for memory/model operations, multi-layer execution without host CPU, and integration with any microcontroller or application processor. Akida 1 supports 4-/2-/1-bit weights and activations with Convolutional and Fully-connected Neural Processors; Akida Pico supports 8-bit weights/activations with uW–mW active power for keyword spotting and anomaly detection; Akida 2 supports 8-/4-/1-bit weights/activations, programmable activations, skip connections, and spatio-temporal/temporal event-based networks. The page states silicon-proven fully digital neuromorphic implementation, event-based hardware acceleration, on-chip one-shot/few-shot learning, and post-silicon configurability. Address 23041 Avenida De La Carlota, Suite 250, Laguna Hills, CA 92653 is listed.
