FPGA-based Neuromorphic Accelerator board recognizes objects 7x more efficiently than GPUs on GoogleNet, AlexNet

BrainChip Holdings has just announced the BrainChip Accelerator, a PCIe server-accelerator card that simultaneously processes 16 channels of video in a variety of video formats using spiking neural networks rather than convolutional neural networks (CNNs). The BrainChip Accelerator card is based on a 6-core implementation BrainChip’s Spiking Neural Network (SNN) processor instantiated in an on-board Xilinx Kintex UltraScale FPGA.

Here’s a photo of the BrainChip Accelerator card:
