Webcast: Kalray unveils new AI processor technology for autonomous vehicles

December 13, 2018 by Abdul Montaqim

Kalray chip

In this presentation and interview, Stéphane Cordova, VP of embedded technology at Kalray, provides an insight into the company’s artificial intelligence computing systems for autonomous cars, as well as Kalray itself. (See video below.)

Kalray recently unveiled its new neural network platform, which it calls “KaNN”, saying it enables “high-performance machine learning” applications for a variety of sectors including automotive, one of the areas in which it specialises.

KaNN and Kalray’s new AI processor, called the “Massively Parallel Processor Array”, or MPPA, also have potential applications in areas such as intelligent storage servers, data centers, robotics, drones, and others.  [Read more…] about Webcast: Kalray unveils new AI processor technology for autonomous vehicles

Mitsubishi Electric to launch CC-Link IE TSN compatible factory automation products

December 13, 2018 by Anna

mitsubishi electric e-factory

Mitsubishi Electric Corporation has announced that it will launch factory automation products that are compatible with CC-Link IE TSN, the world’s first industrial open network to use time sensitive networking (TSN)* technology.

Products include programmable controllers, industrial PCs, servo amplifiers, GOT human-machine interfaces, inverters, and robots.

CC-Link IE TSN supports TSN technology, which ensures real-time control communication on the manufacturing communications layer, even when integrated with the upper level IT system and mixed with other open networks.

Nvidia Xavier achieves milestone for safe autonomous driving

December 13, 2018 by Anna

Safety experts at German agency TÜV SÜD have assessed the development process for the Nvidia Xavier system-on-a-chip (SoC), the world’s first processor for autonomous driving, and approved it as suitable for building a safe product.

With the completion of this step, Xavier is one approval step away from being the most complicated SoC to demonstrate compliance with international safety standards.

Nvidia approached the assessment of Xavier as a three-step process. In April, TÜV SÜD deemed the processor’s safety architecture suitable for use in safety applications.
