Inference engine hits 1,000 TOPS with sub-10 msec processing delay, 25-W power consumption
The Recogni Scorpio is billed as the world’s first 1,000 TOPS (Peta-Op) class inference solution for autonomous mobility. The vision-inference chip enables superhuman object detection accuracy up to – 300 m in real-time under various road and environment conditions, and the ability to process multiple streams of ultra-high resolution and very high frame rate cameras. […]
RISC-V: The background, the benefits, and the future
by Mark Lippett, CEO of XMOS US developers conceived the revolutionary instruction set architecture (ISA) known as RISC-V in 2010. Grounded in reduced instruction set computer (RISC) principles, it’s a common, open-source, and completely free ISA that can be used to develop software and hardware. These attributes are just part of what makes the architecture […]
MOSA and SOSA join the lexicon of military frameworks: Part 2
These two military-focused architectural standards provide approaches to system-level development and sensor-centric designs. The previous part of this article discussed the Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA) Reference Frameworks in Defense Acquisition Programs. This part looks at one realization via the Sensor Open Systems Architecture (SOSA). Q: What is SOSA, anyway? A: (Warning: there’s a lot […]
When to use standalone or MCU-hosted Matter platforms
The choice is driven by several factors, including the communications protocol or protocols being used and the device type and location within the local Matter ecosystem. Solution size requirements, powering expectations, and bandwidth needs are some deciding factors when choosing between various Matter platforms. If a MCU platform is used, there’s the added choice between […]
COM-HPC mini form factor specs finalized
PICMG announces that the COM-HPC committee has finalized the pinout and dimension definitions for the COM-HPC Mini form factor in record time. This means that the vast majority of the details of the COM-HPC Mini standard have been defined and documentation has already begun. Reaching this critical milestone enables PICMG members to start design work […]
Retimer ICs support USB, displayport protocols
Diodes Incorporated is targeting growth opportunities in USB Type-C technology, and lower power operation needs, with two new bit-level retimers. The DIODES PI2DPT1021 and PI2DPT821 devices are for use in laptop and desktop PCs, as well as docking stations, computer peripherals, game consoles, and active cables. They provide a compelling combination of industry-leading power efficiency in line with […]
DDR5 MCR dual In-line memory module called world’s fastest server DRAM
SK hynix Inc. announced that it has developed working samples of DDR5* Multiplexer Combined Ranks (MCR) Dual In-line Memory Module, the world’s fastest server DRAM product. The new product has been confirmed to operate at the data rate of minimum 8Gbps, and at least 80% faster than the 4.8Gbps of the existing DDR5 products. Double Data […]
Multilayer ceramic inductors target automotive wireless apps
Würth Elektronik now offers WE-MCI — a series of high-frequency inductors boasting a wide range of values: The 0402 package covers inductance values from 1 to 270 nH, while the WE-MCIs in a 0603 package range from 1 to 470 nH. A special feature of these automotive-approved components is their unusually tight tolerances of ±5% or ±0.3 […]
Debugging system connects to embedded computers via USB
SEGGER’s emVNC-Server (Virtual Network Computing) makes it possible to see the display of, and operate, an embedded system via USB. For an embedded system with a display, this display can be mirrored on the remote computer. For an embedded system without a display, the virtual display content can be shown. Being able to connect to the embedded […]
