Chimera GPNPU Blends CPU, DSP, and NPU into New Category of Hybrid Processor

by Max Maxfield - December 1, 2022
According to Greek mythology, the Chimera (a.k.a. Chimaera) was a monstrous fire-breathing hybrid creature that was composed of different animal parts. These days, the term "chimera" has come to describe (a) any mythical or fictional creature with parts taken from various animals, (b) anything composed of very disparate parts, or (c) anything perceived as wildly imaginative, implausible, or dazzling. … Read More → "Chimera GPNPU Blends CPU, DSP, and NPU into New Category of Hybrid Processor"

Virtualized IoT Devices in the Cloud Run Faster Than Their Real-World Counterparts!

by Max Maxfield - November 29, 2022

I’m not a giddy software guru. I’m a hard-bitten hardware guy. I remember those days of yesteryear when I hadn’t even heard about esoteric things like virtualization, containerization, disaggregation, and other “-ations,” the discussion of which does my poor old noggin no favors whatsoever.

Now, by comparison, I know enough to nod knowingly and grunt appreciatively when … Read More → "Virtualized IoT Devices in the Cloud Run Faster Than Their Real-World Counterparts!"

Meet UVVM: The World’s #1 VHDL Verification Methodology

by Max Maxfield - October 27, 2022

I’m happy (albeit puzzled) to tell you that things seem to be getting better with respect to verifying FPGA, ASIC, and system-on-chip (SoC) designs. The reason I say this is that the last time I turned my attention to this arena, people were saying that the design and verification phases of a complex device consumed 30% and 70% of the total development time, respectively. By comparison, someone recently … Read More → "Meet UVVM: The World’s #1 VHDL Verification Methodology"

Operation Data Capture: Solving the Challenges of Battlefield Big Data and Mission Critical AI

by Amelia Dalton - October 21, 2022

In this week’s podcast, I investigate edge-based data capture and AI computing in military programs with David Freeman (Mercury) and Randy Hayes (VAST Data Federal). We discuss the challenges involved with big data, mission critical AI and machine learning applications in rugged environments and how a new data center-class, all-flash network-attached storage system can help solve these issues. Also this week, I check out a new autonomous off-road … Read More → "Operation Data Capture: Solving the Challenges of Battlefield Big Data and Mission Critical AI"
