Amelia's Weekly Fish Fry

Better Tools and Faster Results: How Cadence is Redefining RTL Design

We are diving headfirst into the world of RTL design this week! Rob Knoth (Cadence Design Systems) and I chat about RTL design and implementation issues facing engineers today, the details of Cadence’s Joules RTL Design Studio and the role that artificial intelligence plays in this solution. Also this week, I check out the world's first human brain-scale neuromorphic supercomputer.

Autonomous Driving in the Fast Lane: The Growing Need for an Architectural Redefinition of Computation Hardware

Autonomous driving takes center stage in this week's Fish Fry podcast! Steven Latré from imec and I are talking all about SWIR, lidar, mm-wave radar, sensor fusion, the growing need for architectural redefinition of computation hardware in autonomous driving and a whole lot more!

MOSA, SOSA, and NO-SA: Chassis Platforms for Military and Rugged Applications

Let’s talk about Chassis Platforms! In my Fish Fry podcast this week, Justin Moll (Pixus Technologies) joins me to discuss the roles that MOSA, SOSA and NO-SA play in chassis platform development for military and rugged applications. We discuss the challenges and key elements of MOSA, SOSA, and NO-SA and the benefits all three can bring to military and rugged designs.  

The Next Generation of Process Engineering: How Human-Machine collaboration Will Usher In A New Era of Chip Innovation

In this week’s Fish Fry podcast, I’m going deep into the world of atomic-level process engineering with Keren Kanarik from Lam Research. Keren and I discuss how artificial intelligence can help speed up the process and lower the cost of chip innovation. We also investigate the engineering and AI challenges this research was looking to solve and the strategies that Keren and her team at Lam Research developed over the course of this ground-breaking research. Also this week, I take a closer look at new research from University of Hawaii at Manoa that suggests that electrons from Earth may be forming water on the moon.

Battlefield Ahead: How Direct RF Will Shape the Future of Electronic Warfare

This week’s Fish Fry podcast is all about direct RF, the critical needs for electronic warfare today, and the world's first liquid hydrogen flight. My guest Rodger Hosking (Mercury Systems) and I discuss the benefits and tradeoffs of direct RF and why Rodger believes that direct RF can revolutionize Military EW and radar systems. Also this week, I check out H2Fly’s new liquid hydrogen powered electric aircraft called the Pipistrel Taurus G4!

Fostering Innovation with Open Source Initiatives

Open source is the name of the game this week! Arun Gupta from Intel and I investigate the many ways that open source initiatives can foster innovation. We also chat about Intel’s history in the open source community, the evolution of Intel’s open source strategy and the progressive open source initiatives Intel is working on right now. Also this week, I check out the details of an open source tool from MIT's Senseable City Lab that can help people measure air pollution cheaply from anywhere.

 

AI on the Rise: Artificial Intelligence for Low Code

Artificial intelligence takes center stage in this week’s Fish Fry podcast! My guest Johanna Pingel (MathWorks) and I examine the benefits of using artificial intelligence for low code, the best practices in this arena, what applications would be a good fit for AI for low code and the super cool stuff MathWorks is doing in this space. Also this week, I investigate a new realm of AI exploration in medical applications… can AI ask AI for a second opinion? 

To the Sky and Beyond: Interface Concept’s Mission-Critical Solutions and Robots for Lunar Exploration

What have I got cooked up for you for this week’s Fish Fry podcast? First, my guest is Pierre Ansquer from Interface Concept and we are talking about 3U VPX, SBCs, packaged ethernet switches, and a whole lot more! Also this week, I investigate new mineral collecting robots developed by ETH Zurich and why these legged robots could be a game changer for space future travel.

Flying to the Future: 100G VPX and the Alef Model A

In this week’s Fish Fry podcast, my guest is Ivan Straznicky from Curtiss-Wright. Ivan and I chat all about 100G VPX, the challenges of a VPX transmission channel and what VPX Gen 6 and 7 will look like! Also this week, I investigate the Alef's Model A Flying car and why this new eVTOL could be the first flying car to make it into commercial airspace.

Designing the Future: The Design Automation Conference Celebrates 60 Years!

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 of 233 different primate species could help us unlock the mysteries of disease-causing genetic mutations in humans.
