+1 Once they add a Windows or Linux client I'll give Allo a try. To me it's a bit distracting to abruptly interrupt a coding session and pull out my phone. Lately I've been trying to minimize distractions and stay in a termin

In my team we usually eat lunch at our cubes while being stuck on conference calls with folks from our local office, California, and Europe. Not sure if this counts as having lunch with colleagues :)

One way to get into image processing / computer vision would be to pick up an OpenCV book. I liked this book: https://www.amazon.ca/Practical-Introduction-Computer-Vision... .

The chemical, wetware, fluid and ternary computing concepts mentioned in the article I guess make for a good headline but seem highly unlikely. In the short term I really think we are entering the era of accelerators. Accelerators like Micr

+1 It seems few big companies are able to maintain a culture of continuously trying to reinvent themselves and find the next big thing. In addition to buying the next big thing (effective but requires $$$) I think intentionally trying to di

Thanks, I missed this. I noticed that the PCIE 3.0 x1 bandwidth is just above what AMD reported in their throughput test - 985 MB/s...I wonder if AMD used a system with the SSD connected to a M.2 slot on the motherboard with just a PCI

With DMA and the fact that the GPU is a PCIE bus master I don't expect much userland/kernel/interrupt activity...here is my naive implementation of "traditional" 8k video streaming: (CPU) WHILE video not done 1

I'm having trouble seeing the value add here. From the Anandtech article [1] they are using 2x512GB Samsung 950 Pro SSDs which use PCIE v3 x4 with M.2 connectors and a PCIE switch. The drives presumably are using NVME. The demo claims

Wow, I didn't know gdb has built in reverse debugging or the Python interpreter. The reverse debugger looks awesome! I'm curious what people use the Python interpreter for?

I recently switched from doing my C/C++ debugging in gdb to Eclipse here are some of my thoughts: -> Eclipse can be easily be started from the command line - e.g. "cdtdebug.sh -e ./a.out". A minimal version of Eclipse

I think there will always be an API. In the case of Deep Learning you already see Caffe, TensorFlow, etc. readily available for developers. I don't think the average developer will need to understand chip design but I do think _many_ d

Interesting, I hadn't heard of this term before but it sounds about right! Maybe the next iteration will be assembly instructions specifically for Neural Nets built into CPUs...actually something like a convolution assembly instruction

Based on recent blog posts from some Google folks regarding quantizing neural nets I'm going to guess 8-bit fixed point. For example -> https://petewarden.com/2016/05/03/how-to-quantize-neural-net...

I'd be interested to know more technical details. I wonder if they're using 8-bit multipliers, how many MACs running in parallel, power consumption, etc.

That's awesome, and that is dev boards or just the chip itself ? I got the "NodeMcu Lua WIFI Internet Things development board based ESP8266 CP2102 Arduino" a while ago on eBay for $6.85 USD, price has now dropped to $4.76 US

I bought an ESP8266 dev board (<$10 CAD shipped!) for side projects, and I think it's great for hobbyists. But I'm curious if Espressif actually have any design wins? I mean I don't mind using the community Arduino port (w

I think it all depends on the use case. For example an IOT device probably doesn't need PCIE as it would be more focused on sensors, power consumption, ultra low BOM, etc. But in the mid - high end embedded space PCIE is already taking

My strategy is basically: -> Politely ask colleagues to send you an IM instead of discussing in person. The context switch hit from a conversation is significantly worse than from an IM. -> Answer questions by making/editing a wi

+1 I missed that talk. I found the slides ( https://www.bsdcan.org/2015/schedule/attachments/306_srbBSDC... ) but not the video, and I didn't see the video in the youtube list.

Yes, I'm curious about this as well. Altera has a couple SOCs using Cortex-A9 and Cortex-A53 IP, I wonder if the whole division will get killed.

Looks like a cool idea!
