Like so many of the technologies we take for granted today, I managed to find myself embroiled in the very early days of hardware emulation. This refers to the process of imitating the behavior of one piece of hardware (typically a silicon chip you are in the process of designing) with another piece of hardware (typically a special-purpose emulation system).

In my Fish Fry podcast this week, Allspice co-founders Valentina Ratner and Kyle Dumont and I chat all about hardware design collaboration, modernizing workflows, and how we can build better hardware more efficiently with Allspice. Kyle, Valentina and I explore the role that automation plays in the Allspice Git platform, the design review methodology that this solution utilizes, and why streamlined communication is vital to the future of hardware … Read More → "The Future Will Be Spicy! Building Better Hardware More Efficiently with Allspice"
What do wafer-thin nano membranes made from synthetic diamonds and open standards for next generation electronic systems have in common? Yep, you guessed it! This here podcast! This week David Jedynak (Curtiss-Wright) and I chat all about the past, present, and future of VITA standards. We also explore how VITA standards could be expanded into broader markets like critical infrastructure and medical applications and where David sees VITA headed … Read More → "New Avenues for Open Standards: Expanding VITA into Broader Markets"
I’ve just been introduced to a solution to a computer memory problem I didn’t even know existed. To be honest, I think I was happier not knowing there was a problem in the first place (“Ignorance is bliss,” as the ancient Latin writer, Publilius Syrus sagely suggested).
When I look back, I’ve had a long and involved … Read More → "Rambus’s RAMPART Will Rout Rowhammer"
In this week’s podcast, I chat about the future of EDA, the details of DVCon2024, and the feasibility of artificial intelligence for design verification with Tom Fitzpatrick – DVCon 2024 Conference General Chair. I also investigate new insect-inspired, fully functional micro-robots that may be the smallest, lightest, and fastest mini-robots ever created!
