If you’d tried to start a power-related conversation with me just a few short years ago, I’d probably have shrugged my shoulders in disinterest. These days, however, it seems the subject of power is on everybody’s lips. It’s a hot topic, if you’ll forgive the pun (and even if you won’t).
I remember the mainframe computer we were working on in 1980. … Read More → "Meet the Power-Delivery Chiplets That May Save 50% of Your AI Power"
I’ve just been introduced to a technology that has the potential to revolutionize battery- and ambient-powered AI-enabled sensors using Bluetooth or WiFi while consuming only 1/1000th the power of regular Bluetooth and WiFi implementations. Intrigued? Read on!
Before we plunge into the fray with gusto and abandon, indulge me, if you will. I read a lot of science fiction. One of the … Read More → "AI at the Edge? Meet Wi-Fi in Microwatts"
Increasingly, I find myself talking to people who say something like, “We have a 1-, 2-, 4-, or 8-core proof-of-concept AI chip that can—in the future—be scaled up to 1,000 cores.” But this is the first time I’ve been told, “We have a real-world 1,000-core AI chip that can—in the future—be scaled down to 1-, 2-, 4-, or 8-cores.”

We live in exciting times with respect to AI and the devices used to implement inferencing at the edge, where the “internet rubber” meets the “real-world road,” as it were.
It reminds me of those distant days in the 1970s when we were all “feeling our way” with 8-bit microprocessors. I’m thinking of devices like the Intel 8008 (1972), Intel 8080 (1974), Motorola 6800 (1974), MOS Technology 6502 (1975), Zilog … Read More → "Analog Neuromorphic Processors for ASICs/SoCs Offer Microwatt Edge AI"
Way back in the mists of time, in those halcyon days we used to call 2010, I was fortunate enough to be invited to speak at the Embedded Systems Conference (ESC) in Bangalore (now Bengaluru), India. Formally founded as a fort in 1537, Bengaluru offers an eclectic mix of stone watchtowers and ancient temples, spectacular colonial-era architecture, and gleaming technology parks and skyscrapers.
