Amelia's Weekly Fish Fry

AI, Simulation and A New Frontier of Space Applications

My podcast guest this week is MathWorks Space Segment Manager Ossi Saarela and we are chatting all about the intersection of AI and simulation for space applications! We investigate the challenges that engineers are facing today when it comes to the integration of AI into space systems, how simulation can be used to solve these issues, and why the development of more effective AI models for space applications will be a game changer for the future of space exploration.  Also this week, I check out a newly discovered type of star called Old Smokers.

High Flying Digital Signal Processing! New Design Possibilities with HiFi DSPs

In this week’s Fish Fry podcast, Prakash Madhvapathy (Cadence Design Systems) and I investigate recent trends in audio digital signal processing. We also discuss how Cadence’s HiFi 1s and HiFi 5s DSPs are simplifying ease of programming, accelerating machine learning applications and opening up new avenues of innovation for audio digital signal processing enhanced applications.

The Future Will Be Spicy! Building Better Hardware More Efficiently with Allspice

In my Fish Fry podcast this week, Allspice co-founders Valentina Ratner and Kyle Dumont and I chat all about hardware design collaboration, modernizing workflows, and how we can build better hardware more efficiently with Allspice. Kyle, Valentina and I explore the role that automation plays in the Allspice Git platform, the design review methodology that this solution utilizes, and why streamlined communication is vital to the future of hardware development.

 

New Avenues for Open Standards: Expanding VITA into Broader Markets

What do wafer-thin nanomembranes made from synthetic diamonds and open standards for next generation electronic systems have in common? Yep, you guessed it! This here podcast! This week David Jedynak (Curtiss-Wright) and I chat all about the past, present, and future of VITA standards. We also explore how VITA standards could be expanded into broader markets like critical infrastructure and medical applications and where David sees VITA headed in the next thirty years. Also this week, I check out how diamonds could hold the key to next generation cooling for electronic systems. 

Lions, Tigers, and Jellyfish! Cutting-Edge Technologies for Wildlife Tracking

This week I am delighted to welcome Animals Around The Globe co-founder Christopher Weber to Fish Fry! Christopher and I explore the intersection of wildlife and technology including the importance of wildlife tracking, the trends Christopher is seeing in this arena and new technologies being used today to track wildlife around the world. Also this week, I check out how new bionic jellyfish could be used to gather climate science data from deep in the Earth's oceans.

Solving the Unsolvable: How Technology Acceleration is Transforming Information Delivery

My podcast guest this week is Ken Grob from Elma Electronic! Ken and I investigate the past, present, and future of the modern edge computing ecosystem. We also chat about the trends that are pushing a need for a transformation of information delivery, how SOSA can be used to implement edge compute and AI capabilities and one of my favorite topics - quantum computing! Also this week, I examine the details of a new research study that may have unlocked the mystery of how gravity and quantum mechanics work together.

 

DVCon 2024: Seeing Beyond The Next Big Thing in EDA

In this week’s podcast, I chat about the future of EDA, the details of DVCon2024, and the feasibility of artificial intelligence for design verification with Tom Fitzpatrick - DVCon 2024 Conference General Chair. I also investigate new insect-inspired, fully functional micro-robots that may be the smallest, lightest, and fastest mini-robots ever created! 

The Importance of Supply Chain Resilience - Common Points of Failure, Obsolescence, and The Path Forward

Obsolescence and supply chain resilience take center stage in this week’s Fish Fry podcast! Longtime friend of the show GDCA CEO Ethan Plotkin and I chat about the challenges of obsolescence, how legacy equipment manufacturers can support national security and economic strength, and how the “Hill, Skill, Will Matrix” applies to OEM product discontinuation. Also this week, I revisit one of my favorite topics here on Fish Fry: 3D printing, except this time, I’m investigate the newest advancements with 3D printed brain tissue. 

The World Needs Analog: How Celera is Changing the Future of Analog Design

How about some analog design to start off your Friday? Celera CEO Pat Brockett and Celera COO Alberto Viviani join me this week to discuss the challenges of automating analog design, why there is a widespread need for custom analog chips, and how Celera is dramatically changing the face of analog chip design. Also this week, I investigate new sound-powered sensors and how these passive sound-sensitive sensors could save millions of batteries from landfills.

 

Better AI Needs Better Data: How FeatureByte is Radically Simplifying the AI Data Lifecycle

My podcast guest this week is Razi Raziuddin, CEO of FeatureByte. Razi and I explore the details of FeatureByte’s self-service AI feature platform, what Razi believes are the biggest challenges for the development and innovation in the world of AI, and how FeatureByte’s platform can radically simplify the entire AI data lifecycle.
