RISC-V: More Than a Core
By Brian Bailey - 15 Oct, 2018 - Comments: 2

The open-source RISC-V instruction set architecture (ISA) is attracting a lot of attention across the semiconductor industry, but its long-term success will depend on levels of cooperation never seen before in the semiconductor industry. The big question now is how committed the industry is to RISC-V's success. The real value that RISC-V brings is the promise of an ecosystem and the opportun... » read more

Adding AI To The IoT

Making Buildings Smarter
By Jeff Dorsch - 04 Oct, 2018 - Comments: 1

Calling a building “smart” implies that technology is embedded to make that building more efficient, useful, convenient and profitable. The goal is to program efficiency beyond what humans can provide. But “smart” also may imply a healthy dose of marketing hype. No one wants to live in a “dumb building,” but it's difficult to define what makes a building smart. And while much is ... » read more

Power/Performance Bits: Oct. 2
