5G Aim at LEO Satellites Will Stimulate Growth and Competition

5G Aim at LEO Satellites Will Stimulate Growth and Competition
by Bernard Murphy on 12-07-2023 at 6:00 am

satellite min

Low earth orbit (LEO) satellites as an intermediary for communication became hot when Elon Musk announced Starlink (yeah, other options were available, but Elon Musk). This capability extends internet availability to remote areas and notably (for a while) to Ukraine in support of the war with Russia. Satellites can in principle… Read More

NoCs give architects flexibility in system-in RISC-V design

NoCs give architects flexibility in system-in RISC-V design
by Don Dingee on 11-16-2023 at 6:00 am

Power domains and crossings into NoC for system in RISC V design

RISC-V tends to generate excitement over the possibilities for the processor core, any custom instruction extensions, and its attached memory subsystem. Those are all necessary steps to obtaining system-level performance. But is that attention sufficient? Architects who have ventured into larger system-on-chip (SoC) … Read More

Accelerating Development for Audio and Vision AI Pipelines
by Bernard Murphy on 11-15-2023 at 6:00 am

AI pipeline min

I wrote previously that the debate over which CPU rules the world (Arm versus RISC-V) somewhat misses the forest for the trees in modern systems. This is nowhere more obvious that in intelligent audio and vision: smart doorbells, speakers, voice activated remotes, intelligent earbuds, automotive collision avoidance, self-parking,… Read More
