The Future is Verified

Design verification is front and center in this week’s episode of Fish Fry. Dennis Brophy, General Chair of DVCon, gives us a special sneak peek into the Design Verification Conference and Expo taking place next week in San Jose, California. Please join me as Dennis and I explore the variety of tutorials, keynotes, and sessions you will find at DVCon. We also discuss how to learn about advanced verification methodologies and techniques, how to apply formal methods to the art of verification, and how to achieve … Read More → "The Future is Verified"

High Speed Wizardry and a Steaming Cauldron of VPX Fixins

This week’s Fish Fry is a virtual bubbling cauldron of hoodoo rituals, VPX goodness, and bat wings. (OK, kidding about the bat wings). First up, I chat with a team from Elma Electronic about the perfect recipe for high speed wizardry in the world of VPX and the rituals we need to perform to get the newest and coolest technology features in OpenVPX. Continuing with our open architecture theme, I chat with Mike Walmsley from TE Connectivity about rugged embedded computing and the Read More → "High Speed Wizardry and a Steaming Cauldron of VPX Fixins"

Calling All Cores!

In this week’s episode of Fish Fry we tackle the age-old question – What are we going to do with all these cores?! My first guest Maximilian Odendahl (Silexica – CEO) is going to help us solve the multi-core heterogeneous computing software conundrum. Max and I discuss software development techniques for multi-core systems, the biggest challenges facing us in multi-core software development, and the details of Silexica’s new SLX tool suite. Keeping with our embedded system design theme, our next guest Rodger Hosking (Pentek) and … Read More → "Calling All Cores!"

Type C or Not to Type C

Toto, I don’t think we’re in Kansas anymore.
— Dorothy, The Wizard of Oz.

This week’s episode of Fish Fry starts off with a bang — the Big Bang! We investigate a new study from a multi-national team of researchers that investigates the cosmic microwave background of the universe. This research team claims that hidden in this cosmic white noise is “substanial proof” that we live in a holographic universe. Next, we dive into the world of USB … Read More → "Type C or Not to Type C"

The VooDoo You Do

Watch out Big Easy, Fish Fry is here to stay! This week’s episode of Amelia’s Weekly Fish Fry takes on the annual Embedded Tech Trends Conference in New Orleans, Louisiana. In keeping with this year’s conference theme, The VooDoo Behind Critical and Intelligent Embedded Systems, Nigel Forrester (Concurrent Technologies) joins us to explore what he thinks are the “dark powers of Intel-based processor boards”. He also introduces to us a new AdvancedMC module that has been used in some super cool applications in the high-speed physics community and reveals his … Read More → "The VooDoo You Do"

Realizing Your Silicon Dreams in the Age of Big Data

We are the music makers,
A
nd we are the dreamers of dreams…
— Arthur O’Shaughnessy (1873)

Some of us dream that we can fly. Some of us dream that we’re swimming in an endless ocean. Some of us dream we’re in high school again and can’t remember the combination to our locker or how to get to seventh period math … Read More → "Realizing Your Silicon Dreams in the Age of Big Data"

Programmable Power to the People

He’d been here before, many times. He had procrastinated until he couldn’t put it off any longer. It had to be done. After a few cans of Mountain Dew and a giant sigh, he dove in. The experience wasn’t terrible, but it wasn’t great. I know you’ve been through it too. Choosing the right power supply for your next design can be a drag, searching through part numbers until your eyes glaze, only to come up with a solution that (most of the time) is still not … Read More → "Programmable Power to the People"

A Chirp By Any Other Name Just Wouldn’t Be The Same

We’ve all heard of six degrees of separation, right? But what about six degrees of freedom? In this week’s Fish Fry, David Horsley of Chirp Microsystems joins us to discuss the details of Chirp Micro’s innovative ultrasonic sensing solutions. David and I chat about what this six degrees of freedom business is all about, how their ultrasonic software library and gesture classification libraries work together, why MEMS-based ultrasound can go toe-to-toe with today’s optical systems, and why you should consider ultrasonic sensing in your next consumer … Read More → "A Chirp By Any Other Name Just Wouldn’t Be The Same"

IC Imagination and Dreaming in Drones

How many engineers does it take to turn chip design on its head? Just one. In this week’s episode of Fish Fry, we take a closer look at how efabless plans to change the face of the semiconductor industry – one integrated circuit at a time. efabless CEO Mike Wishart joins us to discuss the details of their new online community, how they adapted the app store model for the … Read More → "IC Imagination and Dreaming in Drones"

Not Your Mama’s Autonomous Car

What you’ve got here is one part engineering co-creation, one part wicked cool 3D printing, and one part automotive revolution. In this week’s Fish Fry, we welcome Dan Fox – CTO of Local Motors. Dan and I discuss the the variety of 3D printed cars micro-manufactured at Local Motors, what their co-creation program is all about, and how you can get involved in their Zelator Drone Build project. In the second half of our episode, we dive into the world of safety and security critical software development. Jim McElroy (LDRA) joins us and we chat … Read More → "Not Your Mama’s Autonomous Car"
