Amelia's Weekly Fish Fry

Interoperability and Innovation with Open Standards: Embedded Tech Trends 2023

Open standards take center stage in this week's Fish Fry podcast! Recorded in person at this year’s Embedded Tech Trends Conference, Dean Holman (President/Executive Director - VITA Technologies) joins me to discuss the newest developments in the VITA organization and why open standards are crucial to the development of intelligent embedded systems worldwide. Keeping with our open standards theme, Ken Grob and Mark Littlefield (Elma Electronic) also join me this week to discuss the benefits of SOSA (Sensor Open Systems Architecture) initiatives in the defense community and beyond! 

 

Open Source Chronicles - Maverick-603: Fully-Functional Open-Silicon Software-Defined Radio for FT8

This week my Fish Fry podcast is two parts open source, one part FT8 and one part ham radio! My guest is Colby Gilbert from RadioStack and we dig into the details of Maverick-603 - the first affordable, FT8 receiver with an open source RF chip designed and fabricated using open source chip tools! Also this week, I investigate a new crash avoidance sensor inspired by insects. 

 

Harnessing Light and Redefining What is Possible: Lightelligence and The Rise of Optical Computing

This week’s Fish Fry podcast is all about photonics and the future of optical computing! Maurice (Mo) Steinman from Lightelligence and I chat about why Lightelligence is on a mission to be the leader in silicon photonics computing, the details of PACE (Lightelligence’s first fully integrated optical computing platform), and what sets this computing platform apart from traditional silicon chips.

 

QPUs and You: How Classiq is Revolutionizing Quantum Computing

Quantum computing takes center stage in this week’s Fish Fry podcast! Dr. Erik Garcell (Classiq) and I chat about how Classiq is shaking up the quantum computing industry with a revolutionary new process for quantum computing software development. We discuss why Erik believes IP protection is crucial to the development of quantum computing, the details of Classiq’s collaboration with Rolls-Royce, and why today is a the perfect time to jumpstart your quantum computing journey. Also this week, I check out a new research study that aims to answer: Can OpenAI's GPT-3 program help detect early signs of Alzheimer's disease?

Virtualize This! How Virtual Modeling will Change the Future of IoT Development

Longtime friend of the show Bill Neifert (Corellium) joins me this week to chat about the benefits virtual modeling can bring to the world of IoT. We discuss trends in IoT system design today and how Arm and Corellium are looking to transform IoT development and testing environments with virtualization technology.

A Billion Instances and Counting - Solving the Challenges of IC Design Closure

Integrated circuits once again take center stage in this week’s Fish Fry podcast! Brandon Bautz (Cadence Design Systems) and I chat about the challenges of IC design closure today, how distribution and optimization can help address these growing design challenges, and the details of Cadence’s Certus Closure Solution. Also this week I investigate a new soft robot developed by Cornell University that can detect damage and heal itself!

 

Prevention-First Cyber Security: Why Detection Just Isn’t Good Enough Anymore

In this week’s podcast, Pete Nicoletti (Check Point Software) and I chat about the top three cyber security threats today and how Check Point Software’s prevention-first strategy can help address these issues. Also this week, I check out a recent study from the University of Copenhagen that contends that the first life in our solar system started on Mars. 

Automation and the Future of IC Design for Test

What do IC design for test, the Tessent multi-die software solution and the best semiconductor material of all time have in common? This week’s podcast of course! My guest Vidya Neerkunda (Siemens) and I discuss the trends in the IC industry today, the unique testing challenges for today’s cutting edge integrated circuits and why automation for 2D and 3D IC design-for-test is the way of the future. Also this week, I investigate a new semiconductor material that is being called the best of all time. 

Let’s Twist, Turn and Pressurize! Element14’s Robotics Challenge and New Robotic Grippers Inspired by Jellyfish

Are you ready to twist, turn and get your robotics groove on? Longtime friend of the show Phil Hutchinson from Element14 joins me this week to chat about Element14’s new Twist, Turn and Move Robotics Design Challenge. I also investigate a new kind of robotic gripper inspired by jellyfish. 

 

AI Chronicles: Explainability Vs. Complexity

AI once again takes center stage in this week’s Fish Fry podcast! Johanna Pingel from MathWorks and I discuss the differences between complexity vs. explainability in artificial intelligence, how you will know if explainability is right for your application and how explainability will impact the future of AI. Also this week, I examine how AI could predict extreme wildfire danger.
