Amelia's Weekly Fish Fry EEJournal.com

Physically aware network-on-chips take center stage in this week’s Fish Fry podcast! Andy Nightingale from Arteris and I investigate the role that network-on-chips have played in the development of SoC designs. We also discuss the details of Arteris' FlexNoC 5 Physically Aware Network-on-Chip IP, and how a physically aware NoC can not only help you address your PPA goals but also get you to physical convergence faster. Also this week, I investigate a newly discovered exoplanet called LP 791-18d. 

In this week’s Fish Fry podcast, I investigate how you can shorten your development time and accelerate code across heterogeneous compute platforms with CacheQ Systems CEO Clay Johnson. Clay and I explore the benefits of heterogeneous compute development, the details of CacheQ’s QCC development platform and what sets CacheQ’s QCC development platform apart from open-source tools.

What do intelligent modularity, parametric design for reuse and reconfiguration in rugged system development, and robots inspired by jellyfish have in common? This week’s Fish Fry podcast! Bill Pilaud (LCR Embedded Systems) and I discuss how intelligent modularity can make chassis design more efficient, how parametric design can enable reuse and reconfiguration in rugged system development, and how these approaches reflect a holistic approach for military and aerospace design. Also this week, I check out a new robotic jellyfish developed by a team of researchers at the Max Planck Institute For Intelligent Systems that can clean up ocean debris without any contact. 
 

Battery technology takes center stage in this week’s Fish Fry podcast! James Moody (Enovix) and I chat about how Evonix is disrupting the battery industry, the details of Evonix’s BrakeFlow technology, and what sets their battery technology away from the rest of the pack. Also this week, I investigate the world’s first wooden transistor developed by a team of researchers from Linköping University and the KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Sweden.

I have a special medical edition of Fish Fry this week! Wouter Charle (imec) and I investigate the newest advancements in microsurgery and hyperspectral imaging. We examine the trends in microsurgery today and the details of imec’s new hyperspectral camera, what challenges lie ahead for this kind of technology, and how imec is paving the way for even more advancements in this field. Also this week, I examine a new 3D bioengineered skin grafts developed by a team of bioengineers at Columbia university that could be a game changer for the treatment of severe burns. 
 

In this week’s Fish Fry podcast, my distinguished guest is RISC-V CTO Mark Himelstein. Mark and I chat about the history of RISC-V, why RISC-V is more popular than ever before, the benefits that RiSC-V can bring to high performance computing, and how you can take advantage of the RISC-V Exchange. Also this week, I investigate a new incredible edible battery developed by the Italian Institute of Technology.
