CEVA adds system awareness to AI inference processor
The company introduced the second-generation NeuPro architecture for edge devices. NeuPro-S processors address the need to scale up its NeuPro architecture to work in heterogeneous systems, explained Yair Siegel, director of segment marketing. There are three processors available, targeting the mobile, home and automotive markets, all have safety standards enabled, added Siegel. Launched at this week’s AutoSens in Brussels, Belgium ...
Sir Hossein Yassaie joins Agile Analog
Sir Hossein Yassaie, founder and CEO of Imagination, has become a non-exec at Agile Analog, the Cambridge analogue EDA startup. Agile Analog is set on automating the design and delivery of analogue IP. Using its AI-driven approach, Agile Analog has automated the traditionally manual design process and is creating analogue IP that aims to be more customisable, more reliable and ...

Imagination diversifies into design and verification services
Imagination is expanding its business with a tailored consultancy, hosting and deployment service for design and verification, called IMG Edge. IMG Edge is targeted at reducing time to market and total cost of ownership and includes an extensive get-to-market support package to address the complex and expensive challenges involved when bringing compute-focused SoCs to market. Providing access to Imagination’s data ...
More on: MIT’s carbon nanotube RISC-V CPU
Last week MIT announced a CPU made from carbon nano-tube (CNT) mosfets using standard CMOS fab equipment and only the materials and processes found within commercial CMOS fabs. Electronics Weekly has delved inside to see how it works. In essence, the CNT logic is CMOS, as the researchers have found a way to create p-channel CNT mosfets and n-channel mosfets with ...
