5 Good Things About RISC-V


RISC-V has been around for some time now, and if you are here it’s because you have heard of it. But perhaps you still need to be convinced that it is the future? If you still wonder about its potential and benefits, here are five good things about RISC-V. 1. RISC-V is an open standard Let’s start simple. This is nothing new, but let’s be clear on what open standard means. Open stan... » read more

Data Security Takes Front Seat In Industrial IoT Design


As recently as 10 years ago, protecting Internet of Things (IoT) data was largely an afterthought. Engineers designing IoT and industrial IoT (IIoT) networks were more concerned with ensuring their applications functioned according to design specifications, not with the unintended consequences of releasing potentially sensitive information into the cloud. Today, with billions of sensors an... » read more

Using Silicon Photonics To Reduce Latency On Edge Devices


A new technical paper titled "Delocalized photonic deep learning on the internet’s edge" was published by researchers at MIT and Nokia Corporation. “Every time you want to run a neural network, you have to run the program, and how fast you can run the program depends on how fast you can pipe the program in from memory. Our pipe is massive — it corresponds to sending a full feature-leng... » read more
