Building a Better Bridge To Tomorrow

Multi-core, Microservers and NASA’s Open Source Summit
by Amelia Dalton

In my Fish Fry this week, I debate the nature of multi-core and examine some new standards that will hopefully make multi-core implementation easier in the future. I also dig into the newest Intel/ARM battle in the world of servers, investigate some fuzzy TSA math and look forward to the first annual NASA Open Source Summit. Also this week, I offer up a new way to create energy (coming to a pond near you) and serve up a brand new nerdy giveaway.

If you like the idea of this new series, be sure to drop a comment in the box below. I appreciate all of your comments so far, and we will be working to enhance the Fish Fry each week – as long as you’re watching.

Achronix VectorPath Accelerator Card Uses PCIe Gen4 x16 to Communicate with AMD Ryzen PC

Sponsored by Achronix

In this demonstration, the Achronix VectorPath™ accelerator card connects to an AMD Ryzen based PC using PCIe Gen4 x16 interface. The host PC issues commands to have the Speedster™7t FPGA on the VectorPath accelerator card write and read to external GDDR6 memory on the board. These data transactions are performed using the Speedster7t FPGA’s 2D network on chip or NoC which eliminates the need to write complex RTL code to design the host PC to GDDR6 memory interface.

Using the MAX66242 Mobile Application, the Basics

Sponsored by Analog Devices

This application note describes the basics of the near-field communication (NFC)/radio frequency identification (RFID) MAX66242EVKIT board and gives an application utilizing the NFC capabilities of iOS and Android® based mobile devices to exercise board functionality. It then demonstrates how the application enables use of memory and secure features in the MAX66242. It also shows how to use the MAX66242 with an onboard I2C temperature sensor, demonstrating the device's energy harvesting feature.
