  • The Evolving Cloud Infrastructure
    Oct 28 2025

    We can simulate everything very exactly, but when it comes to that analog interface between the system and reality, you must be very careful because sometimes things don't behave in the analog realm the way they're predicted to. In this episode, we talk to Dermot O'Shea, CEO of Taoglas, about the state of the cloud and IoT and the challenges in developing products to operate well within it.

  • For Really Low Power Neural Networks Try Spiking Neural Networks
    Oct 14 2025

    Spiking neural networks (SNN), also known as neuromorphic computing, are one way to implement artificial intelligence/machine learning models. It has significant advantages over the more popular digital deep neural networks (DNN) like convolutional neural networks (CNN), including very low power operation.

    Innatera’s CEO, Sumeet Kumar, taks about how the company's new, ultra low power microcontroller can provide always-on (AON) SNN support in battery power- or energy harvesting-based applications.
