Design verification is the name of the game of this week’s Fish Fry podcast. First up, John Dickol (DVCon 2022 U.S. Program Chair) and I chat about this year’s DVCon Virtual Conference, the new two stage paper submission process for this year’s conference and what you can expect by attending. Also this week, Robert Schweiger (Cadence) joins me to discuss why standardization is crucial to functional safety design today and the details of Cadence’s new Comprehensive Safety Solution for Faster Certification of Automotive and Industrial Designs.

On your mark. Get set. Let’s fry some fish! In this week’s podcast, I chat with Sanjay Natarajan (Senior Vice President and Co-General Manager, Logic Technology Development at Intel) about what the roadmaps for Intel’s process and packaging technologies looks like, the motivations behind Intel’s move to a new node naming convention, and what Sanjay believes will be the key factors that will drive the continuation and success of Moore’s Law. Also this week, I check out how new research from the University of Tsukuba is improving the possibility of launching rockets using a high-power beam of microwave radiation.

In today’s Fish Fry podcast, we have a virtual sundae of electronic engineering goodness. We've got a scoop of autonomous driving, a scoop of IIoT, a little Infineon secret sauce, and a whole lot of sprinkles… because what good is a sundae without sprinkles, right? First up, Phil Hutchinson (element14) joins me to discuss element14’s “Low Power IoT Design Challenge with Infineon Technology”. We take a closer look at the details of this contest including the motivations behind its creation and why collaboration is a crucial component with this design challenge. Next up, Bill Stewart (Infineon) joins me to chat about the role trusted electronics play in the realm of automotive design and what he thinks it will take to make autonomous vehicle technology more widespread.

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.

This week’s podcast is all about building a better foundation for electronic design lives. Ted Pawela (Altium) joins me to discuss Altium’s new Nexar platform that will connect PCB designers with software, manufacturers, and suppliers. We chat about the motivations behind the creation of this new cloud platform and how it aims to make the design, creation and manufacture of printed circuit boards a whole lot easier. Also this week, I investigate a new "self-aware" metamaterial created by a team of researchers at the iSMaRT Lab at the University of Pittsburgh Swanson School of Engineering. I also take a closer look at the details of this new metamaterial system which includes the ability to behave as its own sensor, record and relay information and even generate its own power.

In this week’s Fish Fry podcast, we investigate the analog data conundrum with Tom Doyle and Marcie Weinstein from Aspinity. We take a closer look at the power and data challenges of processing at the edge, what Aspinity’s new analog machine learning IC is all about, and the details of their new evaluation kits that utilize their analogML core. Also this week, I dig into the details of a new organic, metal free, non-toxic battery developed by Texas A&M University. (Spoiler Alert: It can be recycled by breaking it down in acid!)
