My poor old noggin is currently buzzing with ideas for things I could do with the new line of programmable devices that were recently introduced by the guys and gals at Texas Instruments.
As usual, of course, in addition to these new devices themselves, myriad ancillary thoughts are currently cavorting around my cranium.

There are obvious attractions to “computing at the speed of light” with photonics-based technology—not just the extremely high speed, although that’s important, of course, but also the extremely low power as compared to transistor-logic-based computational implementations.
I’ve been exposed to a few companies offering various flavors of optical computing solutions over the course of the past couple of years. Until … Read More → "A Bold New Twist on Optical Computing"
I’ve said it before, and I’ll doubtless say it again—I like a simple story that I can wrap (what I laughingly call) my mind around. Too many times have I received a briefing from some overly enthusiastic company spokes-wiffle-waffle-person—you know the kind, they talk quickly and wave their arms around a lot—only for us to arrive at the end of the presentation … Read More → "Streaming AI Development and Deployment at the Edge"
Documentation is one of those things that people love or loathe. The people who create it typically loathe doing so. The people who use it can go either way depending on how well it’s written.
I was talking to a friend just a few minutes before I commenced this column. We will call my friend Joe (because that’s his name). Joe … Read More → "AI-Powered Documentation Generator and Understander"
Earlier this year, I penned a couple of columns under the umbrella title “Mind-Boggling Neuromorphic Brain Chips.” One of the first comments I received concerning these columns was short, sharp, and sweet, simply reading, “Also, Brain-Boggling.”
Arrrggghhh. How did I miss that? How could I not have used “Brain-Boggling Neuromorphic Brain Chips”? There was much gnashing of teeth and rending of garb that … Read More → "Taking the Size and Power of Extreme Edge AI/ML to the Extreme Minimum"
Back in the day, when computers ran standalone and there was no such thing as networks, I used to be reasonably confident that I had at least a vague understanding as to what was going on. Silicon chips talked to other silicon chips and circuit boards talked to other circuit boards using electrical signals travelling over copper wires. If you wanted to send a message over longer … Read More → "Intelligently Transporting Electrical and Optical Signals"
