Edge AI — implementing AI models on Edge devices to process algorithms locally rather than in a centralized computing location, like the cloud — has garnered significant attention as one of the fastest developing areas of artificial intelligence. Calculated at roughly $21 billion USD in 2024, the Edge AI market is expected to reach over $143 billion by 2034. This signals a sustained focus across industries on the development of AI-powered Edge systems. New opportunities for Edge AI ...

Data powers nearly every facet of today’s world, and the volume of data being generated, processed, shared, or otherwise handled increases with every passing year. It is estimated that 90% of the world’s data was created in the last two years alone and over 80% of organizations expect to be managing zettabytes of data in 2025, with 147 zettabytes of data having been generated in 2024 alone. For perspective, if a grain of rice was a byte, a zettabyte of rice could cover the entire sur...

In the fast-evolving world of technology, emerging Avionics, critical infrastructure, and automotive applications are redefining the expectations from Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs). Traditionally, FPGAs relied heavily on flash memory to store their configuration bitstreams. This approach was suitable for many mainstream FPGA configuration applications; however, recent advancements and demands for higher reliability and performance have fueled the necessity for a more diversified range o...

As with many types of devices, it’s easy to fall into the trap that bigger chips are better and more impactful than smaller semiconductor devices. In the case of FPGAs (Field Programmable Gate Arrays) however, it’s often the smaller versions that have the largest range of applications and the most influence. Small FPGAs are used across a huge range of devices, applications, and industries because they reliably perform critical functions that are essential to the speedy operation of m...
