Pioneering Edge AI: TekStart’s Cognitum Processor Ushers in a New Era of Efficient Intelligence
One of the more in interesting companies I met at the AI Infra Summit was a company known to me for some time. The most interesting part was the chip they are in the process of taping out; It is a high-performance, ultra-low-power AI processor purpose-built for edge computing. It is claimed to deliver “the processing muscle … Read More
A Tour of Advanced Data Conversion with Alphacore
There is always a lot of buzz about advanced AI workloads at trade shows. How to train them and how to run them. Advanced chip and multi-die designs are how AI is brought to life, so it was a perfect fit for discussion at a show. But there is another side of this discussion. Much of the work going on in AI workloads has to do with processing… Read More
