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 IP, today announced that
Pennsylvania State University has joined the BrainChip University
AI Accelerator Program, ensuring students have the tools and
resources necessary to help develop leading-edge intelligent AI
solutions.
Penn State is a top-ranked research university founded with a
mission of high-quality teaching, expert research, and global
service. The Neuromorphic Computing Lab located in Penn State’s
School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science aims to
create a new type of computer that can learn and operate with
brain-scale efficiency. In joining the BrainChip University AI
Accelerator Program, EECS students will now have access to
cutting-edge neuromorphic technology that will directly affect
their communities and solve big problems that may positively impact
humanity.
BrainChip’s University AI Accelerator Program provides platforms
and guidance to students at higher education institutions with AI
engineering programs. Students participating in the program have
access to real-world, event-based technologies offering
unparalleled performance and efficiency to advance their learning
through graduation and beyond.
“As part of Penn State’s Neuromorphic Computing Lab, we are
dedicated to bridging the gap between nanoelectronics, neuroscience
and machine learning,” said Abhronil Sengupta, EECS Assistant
Professor. “By joining BrainChip’s University AI Accelerator
Program, we are better positioned to provide our students with
resources needed to enable further research and study into
neuromorphic computing. By leveraging BrainChip’s technology with
our inter-disciplinary approach to data science and AI, we ensure
students are ready to develop solutions for the world’s most
pressing issues.”
BrainChip’s neural processor, Akida™ IP is an event-based
technology that is inherently lower power when compared to
conventional neural network accelerators. Lower power affords
greater scalability and lower operational costs. BrainChip’s Akida
supports incremental learning and high-speed inference in a wide
variety of use cases. Among the markets that BrainChip’s Essential
AI technology will impact are the next generation of smart cars,
smart homes of today and tomorrow, and industrial IoT.
“For universities like Penn State that pride themselves on
delivering a world-class education, forming partnerships with
leaders like BrainChip is an ideal way to give students access to
frontier technology,” said Tony Lewis, CTO of BrainChip. “We hope
by making Neuromorphic Event Based technology readily available, we
can give students hands on experience with a new paradigm in
computation and open fundamentally new research directions in
engineering. Neuromorphic event-based computing may be a solution
to the inefficiencies inherent in conventional AI computation that
is of growing concern to the public. It's important that students
engage early and with the right tools. BrainChip is happy to
help.”
Penn State University joins Arizona State University, Carnegie
Mellon University, Rochester Institute of Technology, University of
Oklahoma, University of Virginia, and University of Western
Australia in the accelerator program. Those at institutions of
higher education interested in how they can become members of

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
