FAQ
RISC-V for artificial intelligence, machine learning, and embedded systems
Several RISC-V development efforts are targeting applications such as artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), deep learning (DL), and other high-performance embedded applications. The previous two FAQs in this series considered the capabilities of RISC-V and the near-term risks associated with the technology, and the growing availability of tools that are helping to reduce the […]
Growing availability of tools reducing risk of using RISC-V
As discussed at the end of the first FAQ in this series, “RISC-V is growing and offers stability, scalability, and security,” there is a lack of testing standards and tools for RISC-V compared with mature ISAs such as Intel and Arm. This is an area that is experiencing accelerating developments and progress. The growing availability […]
RISC-V is growing and offers stability, scalability and security
RISC-V is growing rapidly. Semico Research has projected that 62.4 billion RISC-V CPU cores will be sold in 2025. While that’s only about 6% of the overall CPU core market, RISC-V is an emerging technology that most designers should follow and become increasingly familiar with. RISC-V is becoming more commercially attractive as a result of […]
Even model railroads are now networked, Part 4: Battery power, maybe
The traditional model railroad power and control has transitioned from simple hardwired loops to advanced networking in the past decades, bringing many benefits and a few drawbacks. Batteries to the rescue, maybe It turns out that the advances in battery technologies such as high-capacity yet light rechargeable lithium-based cells are not only offering new approaches […]
Even model railroads are now networked, Part 3: Rail & power problems
The traditional model railroad power and control has transitioned from simple hardwired loops to advanced networking in the past decades, bringing many benefits and a few drawbacks. DCC is a real step forward, but what comes next? Model railroading is an activity that seems not to need battery power or wireless control of the locomotive. […]
Release 16: Enhancements in power savings can make your day
3GPP Release 16 brings new features to smartphones and IoT devices that reduce power consumption. It’s a start.
Measuring the Hall effect
The Hall effect, first described by Edwin Hall in 1879, results in an electrical output when a thin metal plate is immersed in a magnetic field of sufficient strength. The magnetic field must be perpendicular to an electrical current conducted through the plate. The Hall effect voltage potential depends upon the strength of the magnetic […]
Even model railroads are now networked, Part 2: Digital control takes over
The traditional model railroad power and control has transitioned from simple hardwired loops to advanced networking in the past decades, bringing many benefits and a few drawbacks. Networking changes things (almost) completely This scenario changed radically with the development of digital command control (DCC) for model railroads. What DCC did was bring data and networking […]
Smart grids, software defined grids, and big data
The business models and technology architectures of electric utility grids worldwide are under attack both at the edge and overall. The first FAQ in this series looked at the attack on the edge of the grid in “Nano grids, microgrids and the decentralization of the electric grid.” Virtual power plants, distributed energy resources, and power […]
