Amelia's Weekly Fish Fry

Longtime friend of the show Matt Burns joins me this week to discuss the future of embedded design. We investigate the role that PAM4 will play in this arena, the benefits that SoMs and CoMs bring to the embedded design ecosystem and why faster data rates and increased functionality will be driving forces in the future of embedded applications. 

 

We are headed to space this week! My guest is Pratish Shah from AItech and we are talking all about Space 2.0. We examine the role that COTS play in Space 2.0 designs, the ruggedization design concerns that come along with these applications and why Pratish believes that we will see a greater convergence of Mil/Aero and Space 2.0 engineering practices in the future. Also this week, I investigate the age-old question: are we alone in the universe? And how AI may finally help us unlock the mystery.

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!

Yes, this week’s podcast is all about multi-die systems! Shekhar Kapoor, Senior Director of Product Management at Synopsys, joins me to chat about the challenges a transition to multi-die systems is looking to solve, the role that EDA and developments in manufacturing will have on the mass adoption of multi-die systems, and the variety of benefits that multi-die systems will bring to applications like AI processing, big data and more!

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.  

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.

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!

This week’s Fish Fry podcast is all about AI modeling for automotive applications.  Seth DeLand (MathWorks) and I discuss the common challenges that automotive engineers face when implementing simulation into AI modeling, which automotive applications would benefit most from simulation, and why data preparation is a crucial step in the AI workflow during model-based design for automotive applications. 

In this week's Fish Fry podcast, Jo De Boeck (imec) joins me to chat about one of the hottest topics at this year’s ITF World - autonomous driving! Jo and I discuss the biggest challenges surrounding perception in autonomous driving, why there is a need for new compute paradigms in this arena and how imec is strengthening a variety of technology ecosystems through system technology co-optimization.

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.
