I’m feeling more than a little existential at the moment. Unfortunately, I don’t think there’s a cream for that. I was going to say, “Don’t worry, it’s not catching.” However, the more I think about what I’m about to tell you, the more I fear we might discover that it is.

There are many difficult-to-answer questions. For example: At what point does ‘a few’ become ‘several’ When does ‘soon’ become ‘never’? How long will this take? (How long have you got?) When will it be done? (Define ‘done’?) Is it backward compatible? (With what, exactly?) How many devices around the world are running code no one fully understands? How many engineers are currently Googling the same error message? Why are … Read More → "Well, Fork Me with a Dining Philosophers Problem (or The Best Way to Debug Embedded Systems)"
A futurist is a person who studies, analyzes, and makes informed predictions about the future, especially regarding trends in technology, society, business, culture, economics, or science. For example, a technology futurist bouncing around today might examine developments in artificial intelligence (AI), augmented reality (AR), robotics, silicon chip process technologies, and semiconductor packaging, and then discuss how these could reshape edge computing over the next 10 to 20 years.
In this week’s podcast, Amol Borkar from Cadence and I explore the major trends in high-performance audio and voice AI. We also investigate how the demanding new use cases in automotive are dramatically increasing audio workloads and how Tensilica HiFi iQ DSP is addressing the increasing requirements for voice AI and immersive audio.

When conversations turn to semiconductor foundries, they typically begin with leading-edge process nodes and the race toward ever-smaller geometries. However, although nanometer bragging rights dominate headlines, something quieter—and arguably more consequential—is unfolding elsewhere in the industry.
The reason for my newfound perspective is that I was just chatting with James Prior, who is a Marketing Executive at < … Read More → "Physical AI at Foundry Scale"
As usual, my head is aswirl (like “awash,” but a tad less rambunctious) with cogitations and ruminations about all the once-impossible things I’ve been exposed to recently. I feel like the White Queen in Through the Looking-Glass by Lewis Carroll, who famously said, “Why, sometimes I’ve believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.” All I can say is that she was an amateur … Read More → "I Doff My Cap to the New Hailo RPi AI HAT+ 2"
