EDA in the Fast Lane: How a New Generation of AI-Driven Verification is Changing Design Automation

April 14, 2023

This week’s Fish Fry podcast is all about AI-driven verification! Matt Graham (Cadence Design Systems) and I examine the what, why, and how of Cadence’s new Verisium AI-driven verification platform. We investigate applications included in this platform and why this platform is a huge shift away from single-run, single-engine algorithms to algorithms that leverage big data and AI across multiple runs of multiple engines throughout the SoC verification lifecycle.

Accelerating Success: How Lattice Semiconductor is Furthering Mid-Range FPGA Innovation

by Amelia Dalton

April 7, 2023

Field programmable gate arrays take center stage in this week’s Fish Fry podcast! Mid-range FPGAs to be exact! Gordon Hands (Lattice Semiconductor) and I chat all about Lattice’s new Avant Platform, the challenges this new platform is looking to solve, the details of Lattice Avant-E family, and why low power, form factor, interface availability are cornerstone to this new Avant FPGA Platform. Also this week, I investigate new origami-inspired robots that can sense, analyze and act in challenging environments.

IoT interoperability is the name of the game this week my friends! Sujata Neidig from NXP joins me this week to talk all about Matter! We discuss the IoT interoperability issues Matter is looking to help solve, the topology of a Matter network, two new wireless MCUs within NXP’s Matter portfolio, and where Matter is headed in the future. Also this week, I investigate new seaweed based … Read More → "Matter to the Rescue: Solving the Challenges of IoT Interoperability and Compatibility"

All in the Timing: Spoofing, Jamming and A-PNT

by Amelia Dalton

March 3, 2023

In this week’s military and aerospace themed Fish Fry podcast, longtime friend of the show Nigel Forrester and I investigate the role of timing in SOSA (Sensor Open Systems Architecture) systems. We also discuss the benefits of assured positioning, navigation, and timing (A-PNT) for military applications, and why spoofing and jamming are critical challenges to solve in this domain. Also this week, I check out the details of a new Star Wars-esque hybrid, autonomous, military UAV developed by BAE Systems that can fold its wings and fit into a shipping container.

Hitting the Laws of Semiconductor Physics: How an ASIC Model for IP Can Encourage Multi-Die System Innovation

by Amelia Dalton

February 23, 2023

You scream for IP. I scream for IP. We all scream for IP! In this week’s Fish Fry podcast, Manmeet Walia (Synopsys) and I investigate the evolution of IP and the role that IP will play in the future of multi-die systems. We also discuss why a shift in the semiconductor ecosystem is pushing a movement toward ASIC and COT models, the benefits of an ASIC model for IP, and how standards are helping accelerate innovation in multi-die systems.

Software Defined Everything: Servitization, Sustainability and the Future of Smart Things

by Amelia Dalton

February 17, 2023

This week’s podcast features my discussion with Semir Haddad from MicoEJ. Semir and I discuss the biggest influences in embedded system development today, the roles servitization, containerization, and sustainability will play for future embedded system development, and how MicroEJ is furthering innovation in the world of smart things! Also this week, I investigate a new graphene-based e-tattoo that can determine your stress levels developed by a team of researchers at Texas A&M University and The University of Texas at Austin.

DVCon U.S. 2023 Preview and New Proteins Developed by AI

by Amelia Dalton

February 10, 2023

I’m serving up a meaty podcast for your listening pleasure this week! My guest Josh Rensch (2023 DVCon program chair) gives us a sneak peak into this year’s Design and Verification Conference and Exhibition. Josh and I also discuss the details of this year’s DVCon keynote address, who should attend this conference, and how he got involved making custom bacon. Also this week, I investigate how a team of scientists at the University of California San Francisco were able to use artificial intelligence to create original proteins from scratch.
