Microchip to Boost Edge AI with NVIDIA Holoscan

Image
 The NVIDIA Holoscan AI sensor processing platform, SDK and development ecosystem has helped to streamline the design and deployment of AI and high-performance computing ( HPC ) applications at the edge for real-time insights. Now, FPGAs are unlocking new edge-to-cloud applications for this advanced AI platform while enabling AI/ML inferencing and facilitating the adoption of AI in the medical, industrial and automotive markets.  Microchip's new PolarFire FPGA Ethernet Sensor Bridge is empowering developers to create innovative, real-time solutions with NVIDIA’s edge AI and robotics platforms that will revolutionize sensor interfaces across a wide range of powerful applications. To enable developers building artificial intelligence (AI)-driven sensor processing systems, Microchip Technology has released its PolarFire FPGA Ethernet Sensor Bridge that works with the NVIDIA Holoscan sensor processing platform.  Accelerating Real-time Edge AI with NVIDIA Holoscan The Pola...

Bionics and Prosthetics: Advancing Human Abilities

Image
 The bionic consciousness , idea, and practice opened a unique path for the progress of mankind, the development of the society, and the innovation of science and technology from the subconscious bionic activities of the ancient humans to the significant bionic designs in modern engineering. Nowadays, driven by the practical demand of human beings, bionics becomes an important factor for the sustainable development of technology. A lot of new and outstanding innovations have been produced through the effective interactions between bionics, technology, and demand. The stronger the interactions, the greater the innovation success would be. In this article, the basic factors such as the connotation, characteristics, and interactions of bionic demands, bionic models, bionic simulations, and bionic products were explained, which are the indispensable basic knowledge for improving the ability of innovation especially for the original one, realizing the design and innovation of new techno...

The World Of Linux

Image
Linux is an open source operating system (OS). It was originally conceived of and created as a hobby by Linus Torvalds in 1991 . Linus, while at university, sought to create an alternative, free, open source version of the MINIX operating system, which was itself based on the principles and design of Unix. That hobby has since become the OS with the largest user base, the most-used OS on publicly available internet servers, and the only OS used on the top 500 fastest supercomputers.  Perhaps the best thing about Linux is that it's open source. Linux is released under the GNU General Public License (GPL). That means that anyone can run, study, share, and modify the software. The modified code can also be redistributed, and even sold, but must be done so under the same license. This differs greatly from traditional operating systems—Unix and Windows, for example—which are proprietary, locked-down, and delivered as-is and unmodifiable. From smartphones to cars, supercomputers and h...

Why A Blue LED Is Worth A Nobel Prize

Image
 Three scientists have jointly earned the Nobel Prize in physics for their work on blue LEDs, or light-emitting diodes. Why blue in particular? Well, blue was the last — and most difficult — advance required to create white LED light. And with white LED light, companies are able to create smartphone and computer screens, as well as light bulbs that last longer and use less electricity than any bulb invented before. The invention of blue led revolutionized the digital world of ours which we are experiencing today. The 2014 Nobel Prize for physics has been awarded to a trio of scientists in Japan and the US for the invention of blue light emitting diodes (LEDs). Professors Isamu Akasaki , Hiroshi Amano and Shuji Nakamura made the first blue LEDs in the early 1990s. LEDs are basically semiconductors that have been built so they emit light when they’re activated. Different chemicals give different LEDs their colors. Engineers made the first LEDs in the 1950s and 60s. Early iteration...
