Let’s talk about Photonics! My guests are esteemed scientists Tim McKenna and Ryo Yanagimoto, from the Physics & Informatics Laboratories at NTT. Tim and I chat about balancing theoretical physics with real-world applications at NTT, his most exciting photonics projects, and the primary obstacles to replacing traditional electronics with photonic technologies. Ryo and I dig into the game-changing potential of NTT’s programmable photonic chips. … Read More → "Inside NTT’s Photonics Breakthroughs: A Roadmap to Light-Based Computing"
Close your eyes and imagine the following scene. No. That won’t work, will it? Let’s try doing this a different way. Keep your eyes open and imagine they’re closed. Visualize a future timeline where you use a GUI to drag-and-drop chiplets onto an active silicon substrate, run simulations and profiling, fine-tune your design, pick a package type, assign package pins, press the “Go” … Read More → "We’re One Step Closer to Drag-and-Drop Off-the-Shelf Chiplet-Based Design"
On the one hand, I think I’m taking the incredible advances we’re currently seeing in Electronic Design Automation (EDA) tools in my stride, striving to maintain a dignified persona as the latest and greatest marvels unfold before my eyes. On the other hand, I sometimes find it hard to restrain myself from exclaiming, “Wow!” or “You must be joking!”
