My head is currently spinning like a top. I foolishly wondered how much power AI-heavy data centers are currently consuming, and how much they are expected to consume in the coming years, and now I’m sorry I asked.
The International Energy Agency (IEA) forecasts that global electricity demand from data centers will more than double to approximately 945 TWh by 2030, primarily driven by … Read More → "Will Ultra-High-Performance AI Inference Chips Make AI Data Centers Cost-Effective?"
In this week’s podcast I investigate VITA, MOSA, and mission critical distributed processing systems! My guest is Daniel Toohey from Mercury Systems. Daniel and I discuss the new VITA 100 standard, how MOSA aligns with VITA and the critical role that system management plays in distributed systems. I also check out new research that questions long-held assumptions about … Read More → "MOSA, VITA 100 and Mission Critical Processing Systems"
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: I’m a digital logic design engineer by trade. I bask in the certainty of the digital 0 and 1 domain, my mind lurches on its gimbals when faced with the wibbly-wobbly world of analog, and it cowers at the thought of radio frequency (RF) design, which—in my humble opinion—is best left to those who are … Read More → "Exceptional Multi-Mode Antennas for Your Inimitable Connected Devices"
In many ways, I wish we lived in a simpler world. I’m not talking about regressing to an Arcadian lifestyle, as tempting as that may be. What I’m contemplating is a world in which everyone is kind and honest, and the thought of taking anything that wasn’t theirs simply would not cross their minds. A world, in short, in which we didn’t need … Read More → "Flash Memory with a Secure Twist"
There are lots of things I know nothing about. If I were to create a list, electric motors would likely appear near the top. I do remember one of my lecturers at university droning on and on about electric motors and generators. Unfortunately, I don’t actually recall anything he said. All I vaguely remember is him sounding a bit like the muted, mwah-wah-WAH-wah trombone … Read More → "Reinventing the Wheel… and the Motor… and the Powertrain"
