In today’s Fish Fry podcast, Mike Davies (Intel) joins me to investigate the past, present, and future of neuromorphic computing. Mike and I discuss how neuromorphic computing will usher in a new age of artificial intelligence, the details of Intel’s Loihi 2 neuromorphic chip, and why Intel’s Lava open-source software framework is crucial to the success of this new neuromorphic computing revolution.

In this week’s Fish Fry podcast, Nam Sung Kim (Senior Vice President of Samsung’s Memory Business Unit) joins me to discuss why he believes our computing architectures must evolve to meet the needs of artificial intelligence and machine learning applications and how breaking the traditional Von Neumann processor-memory boundary could be disruptive to both the hardware and software sides of our industry, and the details of Samsung’s new HBM Processing-In Memory. Also this week, I investigate a new brain-inspired memory device developed by the University of Singapore and why this new novel molecular memristor could represent a significant breakthrough in our quest to design low-energy computing.

In this episode of Fish Fry, I am happy to announce that Mung Chiang (EVP and Dean of Engineering College at Purdue University) is joining me to discuss the new Center for Tech Diplomacy at Purdue University. Mung and I discuss the multi-layered connection between technology and freedom and how this new tech tank will build a bridge between the worlds of technology and diplomacy. Also this week, I check out new research from the National Institutes for Quantum and Radiological Science and Technology in Japan that may have cracked the code of benefit and cost-based motivation (Spoiler alert: It involves manipulating the dopamine receptors of macaque monkeys!).

What comes to mind when you think of an automotive energy source? I’m guessing of all the things you could possibly imagine tamarind shells wouldn’t be one of them… but maybe they should be. To start things off in this week’s Fish Fry podcast, I take a closer look at a new multi-national research study that could pave ways to supply energy to cars. (Spoiler Alert: It involves creating carbon nanosheets from tamarind shells!) Keeping with our vehiclular theme, Adrian Cosoroaba (Windbond) joins me to discuss the hidden security risks of automotive electronic systems.

Who loves a good ol’ fashioned hackathon? In this week’s Fish Fry podcast, we are talking about encouraging innovation in machine learning with ADLINK’s recent 20/20 Vision Hack. Paul Wealls (ADLINK) and Sergio Velmay join me to discuss the motivations behind creation of this hackathon, the details of Sergios’s winning project entry, and how ADLINK and Intel are looking to help solve real-world problems in manufacturing, logistics and industrial applications with this unique program. Also this week, I check out how a group of engineers from the University of Illinois (with the help of two supercomputers) have developed a way to use physics-informed neural networks to predict the outcomes of the complex processes involved in additive manufacturing.

“A classical computation is like a solo voice—one line of pure tones succeeding each other. A quantum computation is like a symphony—many lines of tones interfering with one another.” - Seth Lloyd
In this week’s Fish Fry podcast, Stefano Pellerano (Intel Labs) joins me to discuss the interconnect challenges inherent in quantum computing, why frequency multiplexing is crucial to quantum scalability, and how Intel is bringing quantum computing out of the lab and into the real world.

In today’s Fish Fry podcast, we are making the planet a smarter and safer place with little help from LoRa! Marc Pegulu (Semtech) joins me to discuss the role LoRa is playing in global connectivity and how LoRa devices and applications can be used to reduce environmental impact across the world. Also this week, I take a closer look at new free, open-source software developed by the Stanford Natural Capital Project called Urban InVEST that has helped cities across the world better visualize the links between nature and human well-being.

Ready, Aim, Digitize! In this week’s podcast, we start things off by taking a closer look at the world’s first digital fiber fabric developed at MIT. We investigate how this new digital fiber is able to collect and store data and the role AI plays in how it is able to process that data. Also this week, Duc Huy Tran (Aitech) joins us to discuss the enablement of digital backbones for military applications, the evolution of COTs in the military and aerospace designs, and why standardization is crucial in this arena.

The internet of things takes center stage in this week's Fish Fry podcast! Peter De Backer (imec) joins me to discuss the challenges of developing neural networks for IoT devices and the details of imec’s Analog Inference Accelerator (AnIA). Also this week, I take a closer look at how a team of researchers from National University of Singapore (NUS) and Japan's Tohoku University (TU) used spin-torque oscillators to harvest and convert wireless radio frequencies into energy.
