Agentic at the edge

It might seem from popular debate around AI and agentic that everything in this field is purely digital, initiated through text or voice prompts, often cloud-based or on-prem. But that view misses so much. AI is already an everyday experience at the edge, for voice-based control, in object detection and safety-triggered braking… Read More

Taming Advanced Node Clock Network Challenges: Duty Cycle

Taming Advanced Node Clock Network Challenges: Duty Cycle
by Mike Gianfagna on 01-23-2026 at 6:00 am

Taming Advanced Node Clock Network Challenges – Duty Cycle Distortion

As process nodes advance, circuit behavior becomes progressively more challenging to analyze and predict. Few systems reflect this challenge more clearly than the clock network. These large, complex networks no longer behave as ideal digital signals. Instead, they operate as distributed electrical systems shaped by non-linear… Read More

PQShield on Preparing for Q-Day

Following my series on quantum computing (QC), it is timely to look again at what is still the most prominent real-world concern around this technology: its ability to hack classical security methods for encryption and related tasks. Given what I have written on the topic, an understandable counter would be that QC is still in development… Read More
