Dave Ditzel has a legendary history with computing and microprocessors. He joined AT&T Bell Labs to work on C language development. While there, he developed several generations of processors designed to execute optimized compiled C programs including CRISP, Bell Labs’s “C-language Reduced Instruction Set Processor.” At Bell Labs, Ditzel also co-authored the foundational RISC document,…

Just Like Real Life, the Little Guys Do All the Work by Jim Turley “The sad thing about artificial intelligence is that it lacks artifice and therefore intelligence.” – Jean Baudrillard It’s turtles all the way down. That’s the takeaway from a deep dive into Esperanto’s upcoming AI chip, melodically named ET-SoC-1. It’s organized as layer upon layer of processor cores, memory blocks, and mesh networks as far as the eye can see. This thing scales better than a t...
