Car EE system

The unsettled realities of modern automotive markets (BEV/HEV, ADAS/AD, radical views on how to make money) don’t only affect automakers. These disruptions also ripple down the supply chain prompting a game of musical chairs, each supplier aiming to maximize their chances of still having a chair (and a bigger chair) when the … Read More

Chimera GPNPU Block diagram

I generally like to start my blogs with an application-centric viewpoint; what end-application is going to become faster, lower power or whatever because of this innovation? But sometimes an announcement defies such an easy classification because it is broadly useful. That’s the case for a recent release from Quadric, based… Read More
