This week’s Fish Fry podcast is all about IoT design acceleration! My guest is Lou Lutostanski from Avnet and we are discussing the what, why and how of Avnet’s IoTConnect – Avnet’s IoT Platform as a Service. We examine the challenges that this platform is looking to solve and the details of Avnet’s IoTConnect Solution Accelerator Software. Also this week, I investigate a new algae energy harvester developed by a team of researchers from the University of Cambridge.
My guest this week is Bryce Yonker, Executive Director of Grid Forward – an industry association dedicated to electric grid modernization through advanced technology, policy progress and business innovation. Bryce and I discuss Grid Forward’s mission, main activities, the variety of members involved in this organization and why they chose to schedule their EV-Grid symposium at the same time as this year’s FIA Formula E World Championship! Also this week, keeping with our EV theme, I investigate an in-road inductive charging system … Read More → "All Charged Up! Grid Forward Plots a Path to Electric Grid Modernization"
In this week’s podcast, my guest is DAC60 Engineering Tracks Program Chair Ambar Sarkar. Ambar and I chat all about this year’s Design Automation Conference including the new aspects of this year’s exhibition and conference, the RISC-V zone, what you can expect from this year’s visionary talks and keynotes, and the details of the DAC60 Celebration Panel called Designing the Future. Also this week, I investigate how AI coupled with the DNA of 233 different primate species could help us unlock the mysteries of disease-causing genetic mutations in humans.

How about an automotive themed Fish Fry podcast to start your Friday? My guest this week is Sandeep Krishnego from Infineon and we are investigating the world’s first LPDDR flash memory. We investigate the benefits of this new memory solution and how it will drive innovation in the next generation of automotive designs. Also this week, I check out a hidden culprit found in automotive emissions. (Spoiler Alert: it’s not coming out of the tailpipe.)
Physically aware network-on-chips take center stage in this week’s Fish Fry podcast! Andy Nightingale from Arteris and I investigate the role that network-on-chips have played in the development of SoC designs. We also discuss the details of Arteris’ FlexNoC 5 Physically Aware Network-on-Chip IP, and how a physically aware NoC can not only help you address your PPA goals but also get you to physical convergence faster. Also this week, I investigate a newly discovered exoplanet called LP 791-18d.
In this week’s Fish Fry podcast, I investigate how you can shorten your development time and accelerate code across heterogeneous compute platforms with CacheQ Systems CEO Clay Johnson. Clay and I explore the benefits of heterogeneous compute development, the details of CacheQ’s QCC development platform and what sets CacheQ’s QCC development platform apart from open-source tools.
What do intelligent modularity, parametric design for reuse and reconfiguration in rugged system development, and robots inspired by jellyfish have in common? This week’s Fish Fry podcast! Bill Pilaud (LCR Embedded Systems) and I discuss how intelligent modularity can make chassis design more efficient, how parametric design can enable reuse and reconfiguration in rugged system development, and how these approaches reflect a holistic approach for military and aerospace design. Also this week, I check out a new robotic jellyfish developed by a team of researchers at the Max Planck Institute For Intelligent Systems that can clean … Read More → "Intelligent Modularity and a Holistic Approach for Rugged System Development"
Battery technology takes center stage in this week’s Fish Fry podcast! James Wilcox (Enovix) and I chat about how Enovix is disrupting the battery industry, the details of Enovix’s BrakeFlow technology, and what sets their battery technology away from the rest of the pack. Also this week, I investigate the world’s first wooden transistor developed by a team of researchers from Linköping University and the KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Sweden.
