Honda is exploring neuromorphic technology, and Mythic makes neuromorphic neural processing units ((NPUs) which leverage analogue computing for AI processing with low power consumption.
For the development of a neuromorphic SoC, Mythic has original analogue compute-in-memory (CiM) technology and a track record in software implementation.
With its analogue CiM, Mythic is working to minimise data movement for computation and achieve both high computing performance and energy efficiency.
Honda has invested in Mythic which was founded in 2012 in Austin and led by CEO Taner Ozcelik.
Mythic’s speciality in NPUs is seen by Honda as more promising for following changing tech trends than traditional computer architectures.
