This part of the article struck me as very interesting:<p>KnuVerse solutions are based on patented authentication techniques using the human voice – even in extremely noisy environments – as one of the most secure forms of biometrics.<p>Of course that requires a very significant [[citation needed]]. I would like to see their performance in that task or at least the specific patents that allow them to provide the most secure authentication method even in extremely noisy environments.<p>EDIT: Google Patent shows nothing for KnuEdge, KnuPath or KnuVerse. They must have a very-differently-named shell company for the patents.

Here&#x27;s some spec on the chip itself (KnuEdge seems to be a larger holdings company of sorts, the chip is more associated with subsidiary KNUPATH):<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.knupath.com&#x2F;products&#x2F;hermosa-processors&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.knupath.com&#x2F;products&#x2F;hermosa-processors&#x2F;</a>

There isn&#x27;t much technical in the article, but it does remind me a bit of the adapteva epiphany.

&gt; “I thought, holy smokes,” he said. “It’s going to be too expensive. It’s not propulsion. It’s not environmental control. It’s not power. This software business is a very big problem, and that nation couldn’t afford it.”<p>I think the difficult thing about space travel and exploration is that it is all of the above.

Super nice, is it an asic designed for ML algorithms? Which ones? Well, I wouldn&#x27;t call it a startup though, 100 employees, 10 years of development.

I must admit to being reminded of the Cell CPU hype, which is perhaps another case of a solution looking for a problem.

I wonder what the clock network topology looks like on a chip with 256 cores.
