Chimera GPNPU Blends CPU, DSP, and NPU into New Category of Hybrid Processor

According to Greek mythology, the Chimera (a.k.a. Chimaera) was a monstrous fire-breathing hybrid creature that was composed of different animal parts. These days, the term "chimera" has come to describe (a) any mythical or fictional creature with parts taken from various animals, (b) anything composed of very disparate parts, or (c) anything perceived as wildly imaginative, implausible, or dazzling.

Virtualized IoT Devices in the Cloud Run Faster Than Their Real-World Counterparts!

by Max Maxfield

I’m not a giddy software guru. I’m a hard-bitten hardware guy. I remember those days of yesteryear when I hadn’t even heard about esoteric things like virtualization, containerization, disaggregation, and other “-ations,” the discussion of which does my poor old noggin no favors whatsoever. Now, by comparison, I know enough to nod knowingly and grunt … Read More →

Are You Ready for PCIe 6.0?

by Max Maxfield

I don’t know about you, but I’m starting to feel a little frazzled around the edges, as it were. Things are now progressing so fast that I’m finding it difficult to keep up. I still hear people boasting “We now support PCIe 4.0,” even though PCIe 5.0 is roaming wild and free, and now the … Read More →

What Can One Do with an Array of 250,000 Ultrasonic Transducers?

by Max Maxfield

I am obliged to admit that I’ve not spent as much time as perhaps I should, cogitating and ruminating over what I could do with an array of 250,000 ultrasonic transducers. Now, however, after chatting with Xavier Rottenberg, Fellow Sensors and Actuators at IMEC, I find I can think of little else.

Will X9 Spider Computer Systems Power the US Army in 2030?

by Max Maxfield

A couple of weeks ago as I pen these words, I heard that the folks from General Micro Systems had taken home three “Best of Show” awards from the recent AUSA 2022 annual meeting and exposition, which was held 12-12 October in Washington DC, and whose purpose was to highlight computing innovations for building the Army of 2030.

O-M-Gosh, I’ve Been Zeked! (Part 3)

by Max Maxfield

As you may recall from my previous “O-M-Gosh, I’ve Been Zeked!” columns, 11-year-old Zeke is on a mission to talk to the astronauts and cosmonauts orbiting the Earth on the International Space Station (ISS). He started by getting his ham radio license when he was only 8 years old, and now he’s working on getting his 10-foot helical antenna to track the space station.

How Long Until We See Whales in Classrooms?

by Max Maxfield

Do you remember all the hoopla about the company Magic Leap a few years ago? I’m trying to remind myself of the timeline. The company was founded in 2010 but was in stealth mode until around 2015. In 2016 they released a teaser video that showed what purported to be augmented reality (AR) in the form of a whale surprising school students by jumping into a gym.

Meet UVVM: The World’s #1 VHDL Verification Methodology

by Max Maxfield

I’m happy (albeit puzzled) to tell you that things seem to be getting better with respect to verifying FPGA, ASIC, and system-on-chip (SoC) designs. The reason I say this is that the last time I turned my attention to this arena, people were saying that the design and verification phases of a complex device consumed … Read More →

Say “Howdy” to the Hawk AI Integrated Mini-ITX System

by Max Maxfield

When a lot of people hear the name Flex Logix, their knee-jerk reaction is to think eFPGA (“Embedded FPGA”). While it is certainly true that the guys and gals at Flex Logix have a commanding presence in eFPGA space (where no one can hear you scream), they are also making waves in artificial intelligence (AI) … Read More →

Cars and Robots with Smart Skins That Can Feel

by Max Maxfield

I’ve made no secret of the fact that I love science fiction. Thinking about it, you probably wish I’d stop waffling on about this topic. If so, I’m afraid that you’re out of luck (sorry). Ever since I first read I Robot and The Rest of the Robots by Isaac Asimov when I was a young lad, I totally bought into the concept that we would one day create humanoid-shaped and other intelligent robots.
