Intel FPGA, Neural Processor (AI)

April 20, 2021

Artificial intelligence (AI) is evolving rapidly, with new neural network models, techniques, and use cases emerging regularly. While there is no single architecture that works best for all machine and deep learning applications, FPGAs can offer distinct advantages over GPUs and other types of hardware in certain use cases. FPGA DEEP LEARNING BENEFITS: • FPGAs offer incredible flexibility and cost efficiency […]

Significance of early system analysis of AVB based Systems

April 20, 2021

Ethernet is widely used for all kinds of applications. However, for demanding multimedia streaming applications in a fully-loaded network, Ethernet is not the right choice due to its limited Quality-of-Service (QoS) support. IEEE 802.1 Audio/Video Bridging (AVB) standard, an extension to legacy Ethernet, provides the QoS features needed for multimedia streaming such as time synchronized […]

Apple Neural Processor

April 19, 2021

Back in 2017, Apple introduced the A11 which included their first dedicated neural network hardware that Apple calls a “Neural Engine.” At the time, Apple’s neural network hardware was able to perform up to 600 billion operations per second and used for Face ID, Animoji and other machine learning tasks. The neural engine allows Apple to implement neural network […]

How full-scale modeling and simulation achieved Quality-of-Service?

March 8, 2021

This blog focuses on how full-scale modeling and simulation is used to achieve the Quality-of-Service such as packet loss, throughput, bit rate etc. QoS (Quality of Service) refers to all such mechanisms or tools ensuring critical applications requiring real-time data (usually audio or video) get sufficient dedicated bandwidth, with priority over other applications. It is extremely […]

How can simulation aid in designing of Data-Centers?

March 4, 2021

The data volume and processing requirements surpasses the performance offered by today’s processors. Energy-efficient data center design and management has been a challenge of increasing importance in the past decade due to its potential to save billions of dollars in energy costs. The performance and power constraints are to be kept in mind while designing […]

What is a Data Center?

March 4, 2021

Data centers are backbone of cloud data processing. A data center is both the building that houses computer systems and the electronics within. It is a network of computing, communication and storage resources that enables delivery of applications and data. The security and reliability of data centers are the top priorities. To ensure the best […]

Directed Graphs: The Power of Arrows Directed graphs, fundamental in mathematics and computer science, are like maps with one-way streets. Unlike regular graphs with two-way connections, directed graphs use arrows to show the flow of information or connections. This makes them ideal for representing situations where order or direction matters. Weak Connections: Not a Dead […]

Digital System Power, Dual Voltage Processor

February 23, 2021

A dual-voltage CPU uses a split-rail design so the processor core can use a lower voltage, while the external Input/Output (I/O) voltages remain at 3.3 volts for backwards compatibility. A single-voltage CPU uses a single power voltage throughout the chip, supplying both I/O power and internal power. As of 2002 Microprocessor#Market statistics, most CPUs are single-voltage CPUs. All[citation needed]CPUs before the Pentium MMX are single-voltage CPUs. Dual-voltage CPUs were introduced for performance gain when […]

Control Flow, or Task Graph traversal; concurrent programming:

February 22, 2021

Task graphs are rooted digraphs used in computer science as a representation of the paths that might be traversed in a program during its execution. Some implementations utilize concurrent programming; the core concept is the encapsulation of concurrent threads of execution, such that the encompassing kernel, user threads, or processes; with control flow constructs that have clear entry and exit […]

Directed Graph (no loops) vs. Acyclic Directed Graph (w/loops)

February 20, 2021

• Symmetric directed graphs are directed graphs where all edges are bi-directional. This means, for every arrow that belongs to the digraph, the corresponding inverse arrow also belongs to it. • Simple directed graphs are directed graphs that have no loops, arrows that directly connect vertices to themselves, and no multiple arrows with same source and target nodes. As already introduced, in case of […]

Digital System Power, Processor Performance analysis and benchmarking

February 19, 2021

Understanding Processor Performance: Power Efficiency Matters When designing computer systems, processor performance isn’t just about raw speed. For many systems, efficiency is king. System designers, especially those creating large-scale computer systems like Google, prioritize CPUs that deliver the most processing power while consuming the least amount of energy. This is because, over time, the cost […]

Simple Directed Graph Example:

February 18, 2021

In formal terms, a directed graph is an ordered pair G = (V, A) where • V is a set whose elements are called vertices, nodes, or points; • A is a set of ordered pairs of vertices, called arrows, directed edges (sometimes simply edges with the corresponding set named E instead of A), directed arcs, or directed lines. It differs from an ordinary or undirected graph, in that the latter is defined in terms of unordered pairs of vertices, which are usually called edges, […]
