Knupath unveils a new Machine Learning chip architecture

It's not all that easy to call KnuEdge a startup. Created a decade ago by Daniel Goldin, the former head of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, KnuEdge is only now coming out of stealth mode. It has already raised 100 million in funding to build a "neural chip" that Goldin says will make data centers more efficient in a hyperscale age. Goldin, who founded the San Diego, California-based company with the former chief technology officer of NASA, said he believes the company's brain-like chip will be far more cost and power efficient than current chips based on the computer design popularised by computer architect John von Neumann. In von Neumann machines, memory and processor are separated and linked via a data pathway known as a bus.
