In the May/June issue of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers' journal Micro, researchers from MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) will present a chip design they call Swarm, which should make parallel programs not only much more efficient but easier to write, too. In simulations, the researchers compared Swarm versions of six common algorithms with the best existing parallel versions, which had ...

The eSOMTK1, an nVIDIA Tegra K1 (TK1) system-on-module (SOM) manufactured by e-con Systems offers engineers the opportunity to dramatically improve time-to-market for their product designs. The module, available at L2Tek, facilitates faster simultaneous hardware and software development. The compact SOM is ideal for drones, smart surveillance, robotics and telepresence applications.

IC Insights will release its May Update to the 2016 McClean Report later this month. This includes a discussion of the 1Q16 semiconductor industry market results, an update of the capital spending forecast by company, a review of the IC market by electronic system type and a look at the top-25 1Q16 semiconductor suppliers (the top 20 1Q16 semiconductor suppliers are covered below).

BMW has become the first car manufacturer to introduce a mixed reality system into vehicle development that has been devised entirely using components from the computer games industry. This offers some significant advantages over the VR systems that have existed to date and is the first step towards making virtual reality a very real part of many developer workstations in the not-too-distant future.

Derived from ancient Greek, AGON stands for competition, clash and antagonism. These are the strong characteristics that AOC, a market-leading display manufacturer claims for their upcoming gaming monitor line-up. The AGON series has been created to deliver the utmost gaming features and outstanding designs to the vast community of professional and hardcore gamers.

AOC will present a selection of its high-performance gaming monitors at the PC Gamer Weekender 2016 in London. The event, which takes place at the Old Truman Brewery, showcases the most recent trends in gaming. Visitors can enjoy a sneak peek at this year’s hottest games on the UK’s largest gaming floor and attend exciting keynote speeches, PC workshops and hardware demonstrations.

Many companies still do not leverage the full potential that virtualisation can offer. While server and storage virtualisation has become standard features, the client’s infrastructure is often ignored. IT service provider Transtec claims that small and medium sized enterprises are still far too cautious.

Semiconductor industry spending on R&D grew by just 0.5% in 2015, which was the smallest increase since the 2009 downturn year and significantly below the CAGR of 4.0% in R&D expenditures during the last 10 years, according to IC Insights’ 2016 edition of The McClean Report.The 0.5% increase nudged worldwide R&D spending by semiconductor companies to a new record-high level of $56.4bn in 2015 from the previous peak of $54.1bn in...

In recent years, some of the most exciting advances in AI have come courtesy of convolutional neural networks, large virtual networks of simple information-processing units, which are loosely modelled on the anatomy of the human brain. Neural networks are typically implemented using GPUs, special-purpose graphics chips found in all computing devices with screens.

Autonomous driving is arguably the most exciting development in the industry today. Indeed, according to the latest analysis from Yole Développement (Yole), entitled Sensors and Data Management for Autonomous Vehicles report 2015 (October 2015 edition), the automotive market segment is the next target of the consumer electronic players.
