Spiking Neural Networks: Research Projects or Commercial Products?
By Bryon Moyer - 18 May, 2020 - Comments: 2

Spiking neural networks (SNNs) often are touted as a way to get close to the power efficiency of the brain, but there is widespread confusion about what exactly that means. In fact, there is disagreement about how the brain actually works. Some SNN implementations are less brain-like than others. Depending on whom you talk to, SNNs are either a long way away or close to commercialization. Th... » read more

The Great Auto Race Goes Internal
By Ed Sperling - 07 May, 2020 - Comments: 1

Carmakers have discovered a new competitive threat, and it's coming from within their own supply chain. In the past, OEMs leveraged their suppliers to compete against other OEMs, often tapping the same Tier 1 players as their competitors because there was enough differentiation in acceleration time, braking distance, cabin amenities and price to create distinctive brands. Porsche is known fo... » read more

Securing Data In Motion With MACsec
By Gijs Willemse - 07 May, 2020 - Comments: 0

For end-to-end security of data, it must be secured both when “at rest” (processed or stored in a connected device) and when it is “in motion” (communicated between connected devices). For data at rest, a hardware root of trust anchored in silicon provides that foundation upon which all data and device security is built. For example, the security of applications builds on an uncompromis... » read more

COVID-19 Pandemic Highlights Importance Of Remote Patient Monitoring Technologies
By Andrew Baker - 07 May, 2020 - Comments: 0

During a pandemic like COVID-19, healthcare resources in hard-hit areas are under extreme stress. As a result, patients with chronic conditions are having to postpone certain treatments. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 6 in 10 American adults live with at least one chronic disease and 4 in 10 adults have two or more. Conditions such as heart disease, canc... » read more

Increasing eFPGA Adoption Will Shape eFPGA Features/Benefits
By Geoff Tate - 07 May, 2020 - Comments: 0

eFPGA adoption is accelerating. eFPGA is now available from multiple suppliers for multiple foundries and on nodes including 180nm, 40nm, 28nm, 22nm, 16nm, 12nm and 7nm. There are double-digit chips proven in silicon by multiple customers for multiple applications. And many more in fab, in design and in planning. The three main applications are: Integration of existing FPGA chips int... » read more

Inference Moves To The Network
By Bryon Moyer - 07 May, 2020 - Comments: 0

Machine-learning inference started out as a data-center activity, but tremendous effort is being put into inference at the edge. At this point, the “edge” is not a well-defined concept, and future inference capabilities will reside not only at the extremes of the data center and a data-gathering device, but at multiple points in between. “Inference isn't a function that has to resid... » read more
