The Significance of Sparsity

Friday Nov 09, 2018

What has sparsity done for you lately? In this episode of Fish Fry, we investigate the challenges that surround on-device artificial intelligence processing. Megha Daga (Cadence Design Systems) and I discuss the why the presence of zeroes is becoming more and more important in the development of neural networks and how sparsity can be used for bandwidth and compute reduction. In this week’s News You May Have Missed, we check out how the the University of Adelaide is making huge strides in quantum memory technology with a little help from an atomic tractor beam and the world’s first “waveguide trap”.

"Captain's log, Stardate 4211.4. Keeping our presence here secret... is an enormous tactical advantage." - Captain Kirk

In this week’s episode of Fish Fry, we take a closer look at security in IoT devices with a little help from Rich Collins from Synopsys. Rich and I chat about the challenges of the SIM product lifecycle and why pre-verified hardware and software can make all the difference in your next design. Keeping with our IoT theme, we also check out why ultrasonic sensors are helping usher in a whole new era of cheesemaking.

Moore's Law Only Ends Once

Friday Sep 21, 2018

I hope you have your seatbelt low and tight across your waist my friends, because we are flying high into cloud-based design in this week’s episode of Fish Fry! With templates, code, tools, fabs and processes in the cloud cargo hold, Naveed Sherwani (CEO - SiFive), Yunsup Lee (CTO/Founder - SiFive), and I are headed straight into the next generation of silicon design. Also this week, we explore a new project at the European Astronaut Centre that aims to create a new kind of building construction material for buildings and roads on the moon.

They say that on a clear day you can see forever. When you look into the clouds, do you see System Verilog? In this week’s episode of Fish Fry, you will! Doug Letcher (CEO and President - Metrics Technologies) joins us to chat about details of the Metrics cloud platform, verification 3.0 and why EDA cannot ignore the Cloud any longer. Also this week, we check out a new robotic backpack developed at Keio University’s Graduate School of Media Design. (Spoiler Alert: It includes robotic hands and arms that are controlled by an Oculus Rift VR headset!)

“You can have data without information, but you cannot have information without data.” – Daniel Keys Moran

What do RISC-V, data center innovation and artificial intelligence have in common? This week's podcast of course! Zvonimir Bandic (Western Digital) joins us to discuss how the RISC-V open architecture can inspire innovation in the world of data centers and neural networks. Alexander Redkin (Syntacore) and I chat about Syntacore's custom RISC-V processor IP and the details of their open source SDK. To wrap things up, we take a closer look at how Google is using it's DeepMind AI platform to cool data centers around the world. (Spoiler alert: DeepMind has taken over completely!)

Tower of Power

Friday Aug 17, 2018

Power is the name of the game in this week’s episode of Amelia’s Weekly Fish Fry. We’re talking about all things power-related; from “Shift Left” power signoff to the super cool capabilities of near threshold voltage computing. Kenneth Chang (Synopsys) joins us to discuss why power integrity and reliability can make or break chip design and how RedHawk Analysis Fusion can help get your power integrity issues under control earlier (rather than later) in your next design. Also this week, Lauri Koskinen (Minima) and I chat about Minima’s foray into near threshold voltage computing and why this type of computing is perfect for voice-controlled applications.
