I tell you, I’m starting to feel like I’m riding the crest of the wave when it comes to AI in all its multifaceted glory. Back in the 2010s, I thought it was astonishing that you could show an AI images of cats, dogs, chickens, and penguins, and it could tell these little rascals apart. I know that may seem “old hat” now, but as recently as … Read More → "EnCharge Me Up! 200 AI TOPS at Only ~8 Watts"
If you’re involved in developing embedded systems, YOU NEED TO READ THIS. I’m sure that, like me, you’ve been exposed to a lot of AI-powered design tools over the past couple of years. Suffice it to say that the one I’m poised to tell you about just blew my socks off (don’t worry, I’ll retrieve them later).
I’m so excited … Read More → "Meet the Embedder AI Firmware Engineer"
This week, I’m excited to welcome Sandra Rivera from VSORA! We dive into a discussion on why AI inference is essential for deployment at scale, specifically focusing on how VSORA’s patented software architecture addresses the “memory wall” by collapsing memory layers. We explore their recent tape-out, the need for low latency and high determinism, future plans for OEM modules and MLPerf benchmarking, and even … Read More → "Solving the Memory Wall: A Deep Dive into AI Inference with Sandra Rivera"
As usual, my mind is buzzing with hitherto unthought thoughts. The topic du jour is emotion-aware conversational AI that combines speech recognition with paralinguistic understanding. Ha! I thought that would get your attention and give your excitement juices a bit of a stir.
It’s not so long ago that the ability to communicate with tools like smart assistants and say things like “Alexa, turn on the … Read More → "Meet the AI That Doesn’t Just Hear What You Say—It Hears What You Mean!"
I never used to think about power when I was younger. Actually, there are many things I didn’t think about when I was younger (and I’m getting even better at not thinking about things as I grow older), but power was certainly around the top of the list. When I was a kid in the UK circa the 1960s, most things (televisions, radios) plugged into the wall. … Read More → "Sustainable Power for an Increasingly Intelligent World"
In this week’s Fish Fry, I’m excited to welcome back Rob Knoth from Cadence Design Systems! Rob and I dive into a major shift in electronic design automation: the direct integration of artificial intelligence into the design workflow. Rob and I discuss the details of Cadence’s newest innovation – the ChipStack AI Super Agent and Cadence’s overarching strategies of ‘design for AI’ and ‘AI for design. … Read More → "ChipStack AI Super Agent: Cadence’s New Era for Silicon Verification"
