Neurogrammer Developer e-Conference 27th – 28th August
Koniku builds biosilicon co-processors (neurons on a traditional silicon processor). The product, Koniku Kore, enables the chip to process sensory data by means of the neuron all whilst being integrated into electronic systems. For instance the gif on the homepage shows a drone responding to a pollen stimulus in the same way that a bee does.
We are seeking creative people from all walks of life (computer scientists, programmers, microbiologists, neuroscientists, bioinformaticists, physicists and electrical engineers) to investigate new directions and simulate functional models of the neuron for the novel Koniku Kore chips in our Developers e-Conference.
Saturday, 27th August 2016, 10a-3p Pacific Time
Join us for talks, interaction discussion and activity on the following:
- Moore’s Law: why it’s failing and what we can do to make the switch
- Changes in computational media: from clay to biology
- Why silicon doesn’t scale
- Paying for computational power in a sustainable way: road mapping the future
- Going beyond silicon limitations
Sunday, 28th August 2016, 10a-3p Pacific Time
- Modelling neurons the proper way
- A brief introduction to neurons models from abstract model to a full scale model and why it matters especially to wetware
- Introduction to STICK model and others e.g. LSM
- We review attempts to deploy model which are biologically plausible and equally powerful. Specifically we are explore models which can actually translate to wetware
- Introduction to the Neuron environment and some examples
- By far the most popular and powerful means to model real neurons is Neuron program from Yale. We walk through the essential points of this framework together
- Data tour and coming devices
- Some features to expect of our devices in the coming months will be explored. We also want some feedback on what potential users or developers would want to see in future devices and how we can work together
- We are going after problems where silicon can not make a headway
