WEBINAR: An Ideal Neural Processing Engine for Always-sensing Deployments
Always-sensing cameras are a relatively new method for users to interact with their smartphones, home appliances, and other consumer devices. Like always-listening audio-based Siri and Alexa, always-sensing cameras enable a seamless, more natural user experience. However, always-sensing camera subsystems require specialized… Read More
Why Secure Ethernet Connections?
While web browsing I constantly glance for the padlock symbol to indicate that the site is encrypting any of my form data by using the https prefix, which means that an SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) certificate is being used by the web hosting company. I have peace of mind knowing that my credit card information cannot be easily stolen… Read More
Driving the Future of HPC Through 224G Ethernet IP
The need for speed is a never-ending story when it comes to data communications. Currently there are a number of trends such as cloud computing, artificial intelligence, Internet of Things (IoT), multimedia applications and consumer expectations driving this demand. All of these trends are accelerating the growth in high-performance-computing… Read More
An SDK for an Advanced AI Engine
I have observed before that the success of an AI engine at the edge rests heavily on the software interface to drive that technology. Networks trained in the cloud need considerable massaging to optimize for smaller and more specialized edge devices. Moreover, an AI task at the edge depends on a standalone pipeline demanding a mix… Read More
Emerging Stronger from the Downturn
It was refreshing to hear a talk focused on emerging stronger from the downturn when the news and media are focused on the gloom. At the recent Siemens EDA User2User conference, Joe Sawicki, executive vice president, IC, gave an uplifting keynote talk to the audience. He highlighted a secular growth trend happening in the semiconductor… Read More
Silicon Catalyst and Arm announce $150,000 Silicon Startup Contest!
As I sift through mounds of semiconductor press releases trying to figure out the relevance (with mixed results) I consider it a learning experience even when they don’t really tell me anything. This one however tells me two very important things:
1) Arm is a much more competitive company with the new leadership. I saw a noticeable… Read More
