Innatera, a leader in ultra-low power intelligence, has proudly introduced its neuromorphic microcontroller, the Spiking Neural Processor T1, at CES 2024. This release signifies a significant advancement in energy-efficient AI for sensor-edge applications.
During CES 2024, Innatera demonstrated the capabilities of the Spiking Neural Processor T1 through live showcases of radar and audio applications from its partners.
Emulating the human brain, the Spiking Neural Processor employs a versatile neuromorphic processing technology that mimics the brain's mechanisms for processing sensory data. It utilizes a groundbreaking analog-mixed signal computing architecture specifically designed to implement spiking neural networks (SNN), a unique type of event-driven neural networks well-suited for pattern recognition and signal processing in noisy, time-series data.
The T1 system-on-chip is poised to revolutionize the processing of sensor data at the edge, opening up new possibilities for applications in wearables, smart home, and IoT devices. With its ultra-efficient, event-driven processing capabilities, the T1 enables unparalleled power-performance gains for always-on sensing use-cases. Centered on Innatera's breakthrough analog-mixed signal neuromorphic computing technology, the T1 also integrates a responsive RISC-V processor and provides support for accelerating traditional CNN models.
Complementing the Spiking Neural Processor is a robust software development kit - Talamo. Integrated with the industry-standard PyTorch framework, Talamo offers a streamlined platform for the development and deployment of spiking neural network applications, serving as a valuable tool for developers seeking to adopt neuromorphic processing for their applications.
"Neuromorphic computing is now a reality and will redefine intelligence at the sensor-edge. We are thrilled to unveil the Spiking Neural Processor and announce the availability of the T1 for pre-production trials to customers," stated Sumeet Kumar, CEO at Innatera. T1 evaluation kits are currently accessible as part of Innatera's early access program, ahead of mass production later this year.
