Voice as a Feature

When Apple introduced Siri in 2011, it was the first serious attempt to make voice interaction a mainstream user interface. Embedded into the iPhone 4S, Siri brought voice into consumers’ lives not as a standalone product, but as a built-in feature—a hands-free way to interact with an existing device. Siri set the expectation… Read More

Focus

Multicore and Multiprocessor SoCs (MPSoCs) started a new computing era, but brought a twofold challenge: building HW easy to use by SW designers and building SW that fully exploits HW capabilities. The main domains addressed at MPSoC Forum are related to adapting HW and SW for better cost, performances and energy efficiency
