Unnecessary data movements between processor (CPU) and memory (e.g. DRAM) uses over 60% of execution time and energy utilisation such that even if we achieved infinite compute acceleration, it would only represent a 20% overall saving of both time and energy.

HyperCIM’s approach allows a 150x improvement in Power/Performance through the creation of an application-specific compute in-memory co-processor.

In high volume, low margin manufacturing processes such as the production of engineered wood, steel and high value chemicals, any problem that arises represents direct impact on bottom line. The complexity of these processes, combined with the right timeframes required to correct issues, means that human production managers are forced to react suboptimally and are rarely able to pre-empt issues.

MaterializeX have developed “Leon.x AI”, a tool to guide decision making processes in real time in manufacturing plants, started with the engineered wood industry. The system uses dynamic predictive analytics based on reinforcement learning, which for the first time, enables their customers to predict and optimise in real time.

Engineering design is one of the most expensive, slow moving processes in the development of new technology, dependent on top down direction from senior engineering leads and implementation and iteration by a large cohort of junior engineers. Despite work often being similar across tasks and industries, each must be done manually in the precise engineering context.

Flow automates the majority of manual execution work within an engineering company: 30x cheaper, 12x faster and with an 8x smaller team. They’re backed by senior figures at NASA, ESA and BAE Systems.

Studies have shown that long-term exposure to traffic noise affects human blood biochemistry, causes cognitive impairment and behavioural issues in children and The World Health Organization calculating that at least 1m healthy life-years are lost every year in western European countries. In today’s urban world, it is crucial that we insulate ourselves from noise exposure.

DeNoize have developed Harmony Glass, an active noise-cancelling kit, that fits onto any existing window frame and capable of cancelling up to 90% of outside noise, while still allowing light to pass through unimpeded.

While big data analytics has become ubiquitous across modern data-driven businesses, today's proprietary data platforms are exceedingly intrusive; requiring customers to surrender data to monolithic systems designed to tax data movements in and out of closed ecosystems under the pretence that optimization can only be achieved through complete vendor lock-in.

Without changing a client’s underlying data infrastructure, XONAI seamlessly adapts to both existing and emerging hardware accelerators to power data analytics and AI computing; offering instant end-to-end optimization, seamless integration and scalable technology, with no risk of getting locked-in to a particular ecosystem or exposed to undue taxation
