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 sensors.

What is the future of edge computing? It’s all going to be about edge autonomy and automated sharing of information between devices. And how do you start with IoT deployment? This requires both domain expertise and solution ready products. These are the two topics we explore in this episode with two embedded boards and solutions providers.

We talk to the track chairs for this year’s virtual DAC 2020 conference to hear about some of the trending topics, especially growth in AI, ML and RISC-V
