Scheint so langsam in die richtige Richtung zu laufen,

deswegen heute Aktie zu 33,20 aufgestockt und

short-call Jun17@$35,- für 2,41 und
short-put Jun17@$30,- für 1,78 geschrieben.

Macht pro Kontrakt ein eingesetztes Kapital von 3.320+3.000-241-178 = 5.901 Dollar

best-case: Aktie notiert über 35,- dann ist meine Rendite 6.500/5.901-1 = 10,2% (in 5,5 Monaten)
worst-case: habe zu 5.901/200 = 29,51 eingekauft, also 11,1% Discount zu aktuellem Kurs

CEVA and Brodmann17 Partner to Deliver 20 Times more AI Performance for Edge Devices

Combination of CEVA-XM imaging and vision platform and Brodmann17’s deep learning technology brings ultra-low power deep learning vision to smartphones, drones, cars, surveillance cameras and more


MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., – October 18, 2017 –

CEVA, Inc. (NASDAQ: CEVA), the leading licensor of signal processing IP for smarter, connected devices, and Broadmann17, a developer of patent-pending deep learning technology, today announced a partnership aimed at accelerating the deployment of deep learning computer vision in mainstream applications. Through the partnership, CEVA and Brodmann17 bring an order of magnitude increase in performance and power efficiency for deep learning in edge devices compared to the leading GPU-based implementations.

The push towards widespread adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in consumer devices continues at a relentless pace. However, cloud-based deep learning on battery-powered devices is plagued with issues, including latency, security and the need for a constant, reliable internet connection. Implementing the intelligence on the device itself – or on the edge – eliminates all of these issues. Highly efficient computer vision processors are necessary to meet the stringent power requirements and specialized deep learning software is crucial in delivering the accuracy and performance needed for cloud-based systems.

Targeting embedded devices, Brodmann17 has developed a specialized deep learning technology for visual recognition aimed at edge-based artificial intelligence. Using patent-pending techniques, Brodmann17’s deep learning architecture generates smaller neural-networks that are faster and more accurate than any other network generated on the market. Through the collaboration with Brodmann17, licensees of the CEVA-XM platforms and their customers will be able to use Brodmann17’s deep learning object detection that achieves state of the art accuracy on the CEVA-XM at a rate of 100 frames per second. This equates to 170% better performance than the same software running on the NVIDIA Jetson TX2 AI Supercomputer. Comparing to the popular combination today of Faster-RCNN algorithm over NVIDIA TX2 it is an improvement of 20 times (2000%) in frames per second.

“Our patent-pending deep learning vision software is a perfect fit for the many CEVA customers and OEMs using CEVA-XM platforms to add intelligence to their devices,” said Adi Pinhas, CEO of Brodmann17. “This first-of-its-kind combination of hardware and software achieves real-time performance that supports multi-cameras with a single DSP or higher resolutions.”

“To truly maximize the performance and capabilities of AI in mass-market devices, it requires not just application-specific hardware like our CEVA-XM platforms, but also neural networks that are trained to be run efficiently on the edge embedded devices,” said Ilan Yona, vice president of the vision business unit at CEVA. “Brodmann17’s deep learning software provides the capability to create extremely light, accurate and flexible networks, trained from the ground up with embedded in mind. We’re delighted to partner with them and bring their unique capabilities to the CEVA-XM ecosystem.”

Brodmann17 will present and demonstrate their deep learning software together with the CEVA-XM4 imaging and vision platform at the CEVA Technology Symposium Series in China and Taiwan, October 23rd to October 27th, 2017. Visitors to the symposium can meet computer vision experts from CEVA and Brodmann17 at these events.

gestern mal wieder eine völlig übertriebene Marktreaktion. Die Zahlen waren der Hammer, nur wegen ein paar Verschiebungen von Apple so ein Einbruch ist nen Witz.

Für mich Top Nachkaufkurse. Das Unternehmen ist ein Highflyer / Performer erster Güte!

[maccy1]

finde es erstaunlich, dass CEVA hier ziemlich unbekannt ist. Das Unternehmen ist so unglaublich gut und breit aufgestellt und Hightech pur!

Ich sage hier und jetzt: In spätestens 3 Jahren stehen wir mindestens bei 80€, oder höher wenn der Laden von den ganz Großen übernommen wird!
