Fiat makes an electric 500, but it really doesn’t want to

by Amelia Dalton

We’ve got a soft spot for the Fiat 500. Its retrolicious looks and nearly square stance make it both a looker and a driver, albeit a rather underpowered one with its standard 101-hp, 1.4-liter engine. But the 500′s compact dimensions blend city car size and hatchback functionality into a package that’s more usable than the awful Smart ForTwo at a fraction of the cost of the more plush Mini Cooper. And like both of its competitors, the 500 has gone electric, but only to appease California’s zero-emissions vehicle mandate.

Introducing FPGAi – Innovations Unlocked by AI-enabled FPGAs

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.
