Physically aware network-on-chips take center stage in this week’s Fish Fry podcast! Andy Nightingale from Arteris and I investigate the role that network-on-chips have played in the development of SoC designs. We also discuss the details of Arteris' FlexNoC 5 Physically Aware Network-on-Chip IP, and how a physically aware NoC can not only help you address…

Today, we’re going to talk about AI, DSP, FPGAs, IP, and SoCs. Normally, these things don’t all go together. Certainly, FPGAs have been used to implement AI and DSP algorithms, although AI and DSP algorithms generally involve different sorts of computations. (See “A Brief History of the Single-Chip DSP, Part II .”) DSP designs have…

Wyoming Secretary of State Chuck Gray seeks to intervene in the lawsuit challenging the state’s near-total abortion ban.  Gray, along with Reps.

I can’t help myself. I keep thinking about the 1961 musical Stop the World—I Want to Get Off. After opening in Manchester, England, the show transferred to the West End, London, where it ran for 485 performances. It’s not that the plot of this extravaganza has anything to do with what we are talking about…

Guns, guns, guns. Wyoming is Gun Central in the United States. Two-thirds of the residents own guns and there may be more guns than citizens of this fine state. There are at least three gun-related bills grinding through the Legislature as I write this – gun ownership is a big, big deal here

Ever since I started reading science fiction as a bright-eyed and bushy-tailed young lad, I was exposed to the concept of robots that could “think” in that they could perceive the world around them and respond accordingly. I was particularly impressed by the robots in Isaac Asimov’s stories in books like I Robot, The Rest…

This week my Fish Fry podcast is two parts open source, one part FT8, and one part ham radio! My guest is Colby Gilbert from RadioStack and we dig into the details of Maverick-603 - the first affordable, FT8 receiver with an open source RF chip designed and fabricated using open source chip tools! Also…

I love learning how logic designers of the past solved tricky problems with innovative solutions. The more I delve into this sort of thing, the more I say to myself, “Wow! I would never have thought of that!” A great example is binary coded decimal (BCD) because there’s a lot more to this topic than…

I sometimes wonder how many words I’ve written professionally in my lifetime. At least two of my books (search for “Clive Maxfield” on Amazon) have exceeded 850 pages, but I have no idea how this equates to words, and I have no intention of spending any of the precious seconds I still have on this…

Longtime friend of the show Bill Neifert (Corellium) joins me this week to chat about the benefits virtual modeling can bring to the world of IoT. We discuss trends in IoT system design today and how Arm and Corellium are looking to transform IoT development and testing environments with virtualization technology.   Click here to…
