Renaissance In The Photomask Market?
By Lara Chamness - 08 May, 2019 - Comments: 0

The semiconductor industry has been on a roll for the past few years – and the rising tide has lifted segments spanning the supply chain. The photomask market, in particular, has seen exceptionally strong growth of 13 percent and 8 percent in 2017 and 2018, respectively. The upsurge is striking given that, in the early to mid-2000s, the photomask market averaged less than 4 percent annual gro... » read more

Machine Learning On Arm Cortex-M Microcontrollers
By Arm - 08 May, 2019 - Comments: 0

Machine learning (ML) algorithms are moving to the IoT edge due to various considerations such as latency, power consumption, cost, network bandwidth, reliability, privacy and security. Hence, there is an increasing interest in developing Neural Network (NN) solutions to deploy them on low-power edge devices such as the Arm Cortex-M microcontroller systems. CMSIS-NN is an open-source library of... » read more
