In this week’s Fish Fry podcast, we take a closer look at deep learning model acceleration and the future of Moore’s Law. First up, Tom Smelker (Mercury Systems) and I discuss modular chip design and why he thinks it will be crucial to the next phase of Moore’s Law. Next, we investigate AI hardware and algorithm acceleration with Dr. Mohamed Bergach and Marc Littlefield (Kontron). To … Read More → "Algorithmic Acceleration and The Next Phase of Moore’s Law"
There’s a really interesting company called XMOS that’s based in the UK. One of the things that’s noteworthy about the folks at XMOS is that they are extremely well known in certain circles, like audio processing and speech recognition, but relatively unknown in other spheres of activity, like … Read More → "Silicon to Satisfy the AIoT: xcore.ai"
“A clear conscience is usually the sign of a bad memory.” – Steven Wright
It’s a DRAM module, right? Well, that’s only partially correct. It is a standard DIMM (dual inline memory module), but it’s also 128 microprocessors. Don’t see the sea of CPUs? That’s because they’re coming from… inside the housing! …

“Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it.” – George Santayana
I swear, people are trying their hardest to resurrect the 1970s. I thought the era of bell-bottom pants, 8-inch floppy disks, and bicycles with banana seats was nostalgia-proof. Yet here we are. First there was cloud computing, a throwback to the days of dumb … Read More → "Loading Software on the Fly: AppStreamer"
The less effort, the faster and more powerful you will be. – Bruce Lee
We’re getting all charged up in this week’s Fish Fry podcast! First up, Chris Giovanniello (Co-Founder, SVP Marketing – Menlo Micro) joins me to discuss trends in power management and how their ideal switch technology can not only save you a whole lot of power, but also help you with your … Read More → "Have Power, Will Travel"
Previously, as they used to say at the start of a new episode in a TV series, we discussed the history behind the use of hardware vs. software to debounce our switches. We also perused and pondered the idea of using an RC network followed by a Schmitt trigger to debounce a single pole, single throw (SPST) toggle switch …
