Multi-modal large language models running on mid- to high-end SoCs reduces power-per-inference
Ambarella, Inc. announced during CES that it is demonstrating multi-modal large language models (LLMs) running on its new N1 SoC series at a fraction of the power-per-inference of leading GPU solutions. Ambarella aims to bring generative AI—a transformative technology that first appeared in servers due to the large processing power required—to edge endpoint devices and on-premise […]
What is Rust used for in an embedded system?
Rust is an emerging systems programming language that’s mostly used for memory management, safety, and performance. It’s a statically typed programming language like Java, C, and C++, where variable types are known at compile time, and it’s designed for performance and safety, especially safe concurrency and memory management. Rust’s low-level control and memory safety make […]
Software eases LCD design
Nuvoton Technology has announced the launch of its new LCD simulation software, NuTool-LCDView. NuTool-LCDView is a software tool that assists the development of TN-LCDs with Arm-based microcontrollers (MCUs). It provides a clear visual emulation of the planned LCD layout and hardware design during development, enhancing the communication between developers and engineers. Nuvoton is a leading […]

Toolchain and software package employ ISPU to handle motion-related workloads
STMicroelectronics has released a toolchain and accompanying software package for programming the intelligent sensor processing unit (ISPU) embedded in the latest-generation intelligent MEMS IMUs, ISM330IS and LSM6DSO16IS. The toolchain and software help employ the ISPU to handle motion-related workloads such as activity recognition and anomaly detection directly in the sensor. This permits reducing system power and latency, offloading […]
Low Earth Orbit satellite simulation speeds GNSS/PNT testing
Spirent Communications plc announced the availability of SimORBIT, the first high-accuracy orbital modeling software solution specifically developed for Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite simulation. Created in partnership with spaceborne receiver developer SpacePNT, Spirent SimORBIT enables developers to calculate LEO orbits and their distinctive characteristics more precisely and realistically for GNSS/PNT testing. Testing space-based applications in […]
The top ten “green” programming languages
Software with the fastest execution time isn’t necessarily the greenest. There once was an assumption among computer programmers that a faster program is also an energy efficient program. The idea transmuted over to software programming languages—surely a faster language was a greener one, the logic went. That all changed in 2017 thanks to a group […]
