Cloud First! Leveraging the Cloud for Your System Design

by Amelia Dalton

August 12, 2022

In this week’s episode of Fish Fry, Mahesh Turaga (Cadence Design Systems) and I dig into the details of the Cadence OnCloud platform. We investigate why designers are turning to the cloud for EDA, system design, and a whole lot more. Also this week, I check out a new artificial synapse developed by MIT that runs a million times faster than the human brain!

One Size Does Not Fit All: The Rise of Bespoke Silicon

by Amelia Dalton

August 5, 2022

Move over off-the-shelf chips, bespoke silicon is coming your way! In this week’s Fish Fry podcast, Walt Hearn from Ansys joins me to discuss the rise of bespoke silicon, the need for open multi-physics platforms, collaboration in the EDA ecosystem, and more. Also this week, I investigate a new bacteria powered wearable device developed by a team of researchers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. (Spoiler Alert: The bacteria works better when it’s dead!)

U Can Touch This! BeBop Sensors Brings a Sense of Touch to Robots and More!

by Amelia Dalton

July 29, 2022

Robotic innovation and the future of human-machine interfaces take center stage in this week’s Fish Fry podcast! Keith McMillen (CEO, Founder - BeBop Sensors) joins me to chat about BeBop’s Intelligent Sensing Technologies which can transform any surface into a touch surface that naturally blends into its environment. We dig into the details of BeBop’s RoboSkin that can provide robots with the sense of touch and discuss why Keith believes that intelligent interfaces will change how we interact with machines in the future. Also this week, I take a closer look at a new robotic learning method called WHIRL developed by a team of researchers at Carnegie Mellon University that could make teaching robots easier than ever before. … Read More →

The Next Wave of Semiconductor Innovation

by Amelia Dalton

July 22, 2022

In this week’s Fish Fry, we are talking about electrostatic multi-nozzle printing technology, industrial micro-fabrication, and life-like lasers! Walter Braun (COO – Scrona) and I investigate the biggest challenges facing the micro-fabrication industry today, why Walter believes that the next wave of semiconductor innovation will rely on novel semiconductor packaging, and the details of Scrona’s multi-nozzle printing technology. Also this week, I examine new self-organizing lasers built by a team of researchers from Imperial College London and University College London that could lead to new materials for sensing, computing, light sources, and displays.

“What gets measured gets improved.” – Peter Drucker

In this week’s Fish Fry podcast, Daniel Schoenfelder from Altium joins me to discuss the EDDI (Electronic Design to Delivery Index) report, how it can help you source components for your next design and what it can tell us about where the supply chain stands today. Also this week, I take a closer look at a new machine learning algorithm developed by the U.S. Department of Energy’ … Read More → "Fast Times in Supply and Demand: How the EDDI Report Can Help Determine How Difficult Sourcing Will Be"

Faster AI! Go! Go!

How Deeplite’s Ultra-Compact Quantization is Making AI Smarter, Faster and Smaller

by Amelia Dalton

July 8, 2022

We are covering one of my favorite subjects this week: Artificial Intelligence! My guest is Nick Romano, Co-Founder & CEO of Deeplite AI. We investigate their new Deeplite Runtime which makes AI models smaller and faster in production deployment, why smart manufacturing is a great application for Deeplite AI, and why ultra-compact quantization is key to making AI smarter, faster, and smaller than ever before. Also this week, I examine “Raw Zero-Shot” – a new AI learning method developed by a team of researchers at Kyushu University that has potential to make AI more robust and reliable in the future.</ … Read More → "Faster AI! Go! Go!"

The Currency of Data: Liquid Instruments’ Innovative Take on Software Defined Instrumentation

by Amelia Dalton

July 1, 2022

Software defined instrumentation takes center stage in this week’s Fish Fry podcast! Ben Nizette and I chat about how Liquid Instruments is changing the face of test and measurement. We examine each of their hardware platforms and investigate why this kind of flexible, modular, reconfigurable, and shareable instrumentation is the way of the future. Also this week, I check out the first commercially viable flexible plastic microprocessor chips developed by a team of researchers at University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and British flexible electronics manufacturer PragmatIC Semiconductor.
