All Powered Up: EVs, Wide Bandgap, and Saving the World with Power Semiconductors

Are you powered up for today’s Fish Fry? I certainly hope so!  My podcast guest Frank Heidemann (National Instruments) and I are diving into the world of power semiconductors. We chat about recent trends in the power semiconductor market, the benefits of wide bandgap power semiconductors and the role that power semiconductors will play for the future of electric vehicles. Also this week, I check out a new way to recover rare earth elements needed for green energy. (Spoiler alert: it involves egg shells!)

Quantized Neural Networks for FPGA Inference

Sponsored by Intel

Implementing a low precision network in FPGA hardware for efficient inferencing provides numerous advantages when it comes to meeting demanding specifications. The increased flexibility allows optimization of throughput, overall power consumption, resource usage, device size, TOPs/watt, and deterministic latency. These are important benefits where scaling and efficiency are inherent requirements of the application.
