Embedded Edge

In this episode of the embedded edge with Nitin podcast, we talk to the CEO of RISC-V International, Calista Redmond, on the growth in adoption of the RISC-V instruction set architecture, underlining the Intel announcement earlier this year as being the pivotal point in the history of RISC-V. Our second guest, Steve Pawlowski, who leads Micron’s advanced computing solutions group, talks about brain-inspired computing, underlining the limitations of modern computing systems which consume far too much energy to deliver the artificial intelligence-based systems we desire. He said that to truly scale, AI needs to be much more efficient, and should take our cues from the human brain.

In this episode of the Embedded Edge podcast, we look at intelligent displays. As we see more edge intelligence being implemented, it seems a natural progression to make the human-machine interface intelligent too. We talk to two companies that have partnered to put intelligence into displays, about edge visualization capability, and about how smart displays are being used in different vertical applications.

In this episode of the Embedded Edge podcast, we talk to industry veteran John Goodacre about an initiative he is leading to make computer systems architecture more ‘secure by design’ by addressing memory safety exploits. This involves use of the CHERI-enabled RISC processors that are gaining significant academic and industrial interest.

On this podcast: we cover developments in lidar, as several makers have been telling us how they want to make lidar ubiquitous, plus we look behind the hardware agnostic connected car platform recently introduced by BlackBerry called BlackBerry Ivy. During the CES 2022 show, we caught up with Ted Tewkesbury, CEO of Velodyne Lidar, who tells us why it’s an ‘exciting’ time to be in the lidar industry. In the second part of the podcast, Sarah Tatsis senior vice president for the Ivy platform development at BlackBerry, talked about its hardware agnostic intelligent vehicle data platform it co-developed with Amazon Web Services, shown at CES for the first time on physical hardware with the aim of showing how AI-based decisions would impact in-car experiences.

On this podcast: we chat to Joe Sawicki of Siemens, who talks about EDA trends and why he thinks digitalization in the semiconductor industry will drive massive industry growth in the years ahead, plus why he cringes when people say Moore’s Law is dead. Then we talk to MikroElektronika’s founder Neb Matic on what he said is world’s first hardware-as-a-service offer for the embedded industry, offering a real time, remote, visual development environment for just $4 a day.

Xilinx talks about its new Alveo data center accelerator card and clustering solution for FPGAs in this episode of our Embedded Edge podcast. Also: Weaver Labs on how its software lets telecoms providers use blockchain to manage and monetize virtualized networks; and intelligent wireless battery management with Dukosi.

In this episode of the Embedded Edge podcast, we hear from Imagination Technologies on a next generation GPU for ray tracing on mobile; talk about open-source software for quantum computing with Cambridge Quantum; hear about a project led by sureCore to develop cryogenic IP; and chat with Cascoda on secure IP-based mesh networks for smart buildings.

Nitin Dahad talks to Graham Curren, CEO of Sondrel, who founded the chip design service company nearly 20 years ago. We talked about why he started, their first chip design, what’s changed over the last 20 years, and about what’s in store for chip design in the future. Here’s one clue: it’s all about the size.

ADLINK talks about a new Arm based COM-HPC Altra Server type module, a HMI design firm tells us about a new concept for an automotive steering wheel, plus the CEO of EnOcean on why smart spaces needs batteryless IoT sesnsors.
