WEBINAR: FPGA-Accelerated AI Speech Recognition
The three-step conversational AI (CAI) process – automatic speech recognition (ASR), natural language processing, and text-to-synthesized speech response – is now deeply embedded in the user experience for smartphones, smart speakers, and other devices. More powerful large language models (LLMs) can answer more queries… Read More
When Will Structured Assembly Cross the Chasm?
First, a quick definition. By “structured assembly,” I mean the collection of tools to support IP packaging with standardized interfaces, SoC integration based on those IPs together with bus fabric and other connectivity hookups, register definition and management in support of hardware/software interface definition, … Read More

Do you have Time to Pull in your Tapeout Schedule?
So… , we’re 4 months before tapeout. You were assigned to close place & route on three complex key blocks. You have 15 machines for the job, 5 per block.
You send your first batch, 5 runs per block. You’re not very surprised that your first batch fails. You modify the scripts, and run another batch. And… (Surprise… Read More
Webinar: “Navigating our AI Wonderland” … with humans-in-the-Loop?
AI is here, there, and absolutely everywhere – now and forever.
The electronics industry, and the world at-large, have experienced an overwhelming amount of AI coverage this year, with no letup in store for 2024. Both EE Times and Silicon Catalyst have recently staged events around artificial intelligence:
- “AI Everywhere” delivered
Building Reliability into Advanced Automotive Electronics
Those of you who have been in the industry for a little while will remember that the recipe for reliable electronics in cars (and other vehicles) used to be simple. Stick to old (like 10 years old) and well-proven processes and tweak rather than tear up and restart well-proven designs to the greatest extent possible. Because incrementing… Read More
