January 27, 2021 by Jake Hertz Reducing Distortion in Tape Recordings with Hysteresis in SPICE Summary January 24, 2021 by Kevin Aylward French Researchers Exploit Non-Idealities of Memristors to Bring AI to the Edge Keeping with the trend to depart from von Neumann architectures, French researchers have overcome non-ideal properties of memristors to bring Bayesian networks to the edge.
It accelerates every model across the data center and edge in computer vision, speech-to-text, natural language understanding (BERT), and recommender systems. Accelerates Every Inference Platform TensorRT can optimize and deploy applications to the data center, as well as embedded and automotive environments. It powers inference solutions such as NVIDIA TAO, NVIDIA DRIVE™, NVIDIA Clara™, and NVIDIA Jetpack™. TensorRT is also integrated with application-specific SDKs such as NVIDIA DeepStream, Jarvis, Merlin™, Maxine™, and Broadcast Engine to provide developers a unified path to deploy intelligent video analytics, conversational AI, recommender systems, video conference, and streaming apps in production. Supports All Major Frameworks NVIDIA works closely with deep learning framework developers to achieve optimized performance for inference on AI platforms using TensorRT. If you are performing deep learning training in a proprietary or custom framework, use the TensorRT C++ API to import and accelerate your models.
Stephan Egli, Paul Scherrer Institute, Switzerland We quickly realised we needed some domain expertise. Within hours we had a KDAB consultancy agreement in place, and an engineer on site a few days later. After a short period of time mixing training with architecture and software developing on the front line, with the rest of our team, we found ourselves in a great position, with a good chance of hitting our deadlines. Adam Linford, Truphone Limited, UK Once again all expectations were more than fulfilled. The training was more than just reading a presentation, it was a good combination of the necessary theory, practical use cases and a nice sense of humor which prevents you from falling asleep. Geert Depaemelaere, R&D Project engineer, Torex Retail, UK The trainer worked closely with our team to address the areas of interest for our project. The training sessions had a good amount of hands on exercises (laboratory sessions) that enabled the development team to apply the skills learned.
January 23, 2021 by Jake Hertz Choosing the Right Redriver or Retimer Device to Extend PCIe Protocol Signal Range Redriver or retimer devices can extend the Peripheral Component Interface Express (PCIe®) protocol signal range. This article discusses how to select the best one for compute system and NVMe™ storage applications today and into the future. January 12, 2021 by Tam Do, Microchip The Initial State of Finite State Machines and the Memory Debate This article discusses the use of finite state machines (or FSMs) in design, including the initial state and the way memory configuration affects FPGA design. January 04, 2021 by Eduardo Corpeño Was 2020 the Year of Edge AI Compute? In 2020, many companies released flagship low-power devices with the goal of bringing AI to the edge. We'll review some of the most recent ones and see how they compare. December 28, 2020 by Jake Hertz Factors Suppliers Consider Before Sending a Memory Device to Space Despite the pandemic, 2020 was a monumental year for space exploration.
And pivotal to each mission's success at the circuit level was radiation-hardened memory devices. December 21, 2020 by Tyler Charboneau 2020 Chip Market Year in Review: DRAM Comes Out on Top According to IC Insights, DRAM was the biggest IC product category for 2020 with sales of $65. 2 billion, followed by NAND coming in second at $55. 2 billion. December 10, 2020 by Luke James Analog Power at the Size of Digital? Edge AI Processor Combines Best of Both Worlds Can analog computation be a viable solution to the many challenges facing edge AI hardware? We spoke with Mike Henry, CEO of Mythic, to see why they think it is. December 02, 2020 by Jake Hertz Improving Home Appliance Safety with IEC Standards This article explores the IEC 60730 Class B standard for functional safety to address both mechanical and electrical design in appliances. Learn what the standard entails and controllers to help meet these standards. December 01, 2020 by Chad Solomon, Microchip Technology Researchers Create Low-Power Method to Control Magnetism With Voltage New research has unveiled that it's possible to switch states of magnetism between ON and OFF in a new class of easy-to-fabricate materials containing nitrogen.
The coverage of modern OpenGL techniques and API usage was comprehensive, and the examples and labs demonstrated how theory could be applied in practice. I would highly recommend this course to anyone working in the scientific computing and data visualisation fields. Ben Fletcher, DSTO, Department of Defence, Australia I found the course to be excellent. It provided a good grounding in the basics of writing programs with Qt, with plenty of useful and realistic examples. The trainer provided many anecdotes and examples of real-world experience of using Qt. I would sincerely recommend the training course to everyone who has an interest in the Qt tool-kit and/or mixed system programming. Conor O'Neill, Radio Planning, Logica, UK Both newcomers to Qt but also people already familiar with Qt profited from the presentations and the course material. The style of the courses was equally interesting and entertaining. At the end of course people were looking forward to start development on their own Qt applications.
