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.”
I remember “ye olden days” when we (humans) designed electronic products by hand—conceiving circuits, selecting components, drawing schematics, laying out printed circuit boards (PCBs)… Can you imagine instead just telling an AI, “Make me a [your product here] for consumer use,” and it actually does it? Well, that day has arrived.
I’ve said it before, and I’ll doubtless say it … Read More → "Make It So: Agentic AI Comes to Flux"
In the context of programming, the term “obfuscation” is typically taken to mean “deliberately making source code hard to read or understand while keeping it functionally correct.” The reason I used the “typically” qualifier is that I’ve just been exposed to the concept of obfuscation at the machine code level. Now my head hurts.
Since we’re already talking obfuscation, I feel … Read More → "From Code Chaos to Cyber Confidence: Inside the World of Firmware Obfuscation"
As I’ve mentioned on occasion, my degree is in Control Engineering. Well, that’s what we used to call it deep in the mists of time (circa the late 1970s) when I was a bright-eyed, bushy-tailed student—although the years, it must be said, have not been kind.
The idea was to have a core of math, accompanied by electronics, mechanics, hydraulics, … Read More → "Model-Based Design Is Transforming System Development"
Agentic AI is the name of the game this week my friends! My podcast guest is Ashwin Patil from Deloitte and we are chatting all about the biggest challenges for Agentic AI implementation. Ashwin and I also explore what he has coined “The Three Horizons for Agentic AI” and the innovative activities that Deloitte is pursing to advance Agentic AI.
My podcast guest this week is one and only Masha Petrova, CEO of Nullspace! Masha and I discuss the biggest software challenges facing engineers today, the evolution of simulation software, why Masha believes there is a bigger need now for new simulation software than ever before, and the innovative ways that Nullspace is changing the simulation software landscape.
