In a traditional edge AI system, the data journey is a fragmented one. Raw sensor data is processed by one chip (such as an FPGA), then a CPU performs some pre-processing, and finally, a GPU or dedicated accelerator handles the AI inference. This multi-chip architecture introduces latency, complexity, and unnecessary power consumption. The SE2000’s true […]
Rugged Edge AI for Aerospace, Automotive, and Beyond In embedded system design, few environments are as demanding as those found in aerospace, automotive, and military applications. Engineers working in these domains require platforms that are modular, compact, high-performance, and ruggedized. Enter the PCIe104 form factor, a long-standing standard for embedded systems in harsh environments, and […]
Introduction Modern medical imaging systems, ranging from MRI and CT scanners to PET and SPECT, demand exceptional reliability, precision, and uptime. These systems operate in environments where high-energy fields, radiation scatter, and electromagnetic interference are common. Such conditions increase the risk of Single Event Upsets (SEUs), bit-level errors caused by energetic particles interacting with semiconductor […]
