HOW THE PROCESS WORKS: APEX has anonymized the information below due to the competitive nature of the solicitations and proposal environment. If you find an interest, please contact Michael Bianco using the input form below. Include the APEX assigned number or list of numbers to which you want to be introduced. The table columns designate whether the organization seeking a partner is a company or a university and the kind of organization sought for a partnership. The table also includes a technology description of what the advertising organization brings to the table (technology brought) and what the advertising organization seeks in a partner (technology sought) as well as the technical competencies of the desired partner. Once you respond with the APEX assigned number(s) you are interested in meeting, we will review the request with the researcher seeking a partner and get their approval to release additional information to both parties and connect the two of you to explore a collaboration. Once we connect parties, we leave it up to you to discuss if interests, objectives, and capabilities are aligned.

| 103 | Small Business | Both small business and/or research institute | We’ve developed a circuit generator that takes a NN model of any popular framework and converts it into a low powered parallel pipeline circuit. The circuit comes in the form of a bit stream ready to be instantiated on an FPGA. However, the resulting circuit is not an instruction processor. That is, it will not execute instructions (in the classic von Neumann sense). It does not use RAM and is not burdened by shared resources or overhead as processors are. Instead, every node, layer and weight has a dedicated set of gates in the circuit--it puts the whole algorithm (as is) in the circuit. As a result, we are seeing power reductions of 90% over a conventional GPU. As such the circuit is as computationally efficient as physics will allow. Regardless of the complexity of the model, the parallel pipeline circuit ingests data at the frame rate of the sensor. Research has shown capability of 480fps for HD video. | We are seeking companies and/or research institutions that develop AI/ML algorithms and desire to improve frame rate, lower power and reduce latency.
