Open architecture RISC-V expanded with USB 2.0 and USB 3.x interfaces

As our colleagues from the AnandTech website suggest, one of the world's first SoC developers on the open RISC-V architecture, SiFive acquired a package of intellectual property in the form of IP blocks for USB 2.0 and USB 3.x interfaces. The deal was concluded with Innovative Logic, a specialist in the development of ready-to-integrate licensed blocks with interfaces. Innovative Logic has previously been noted […]

In fear of Navi, NVIDIA tries to patent the number 3080

According to rumors that have been persistently circulating lately, the new AMD Navi generation video cards, which are expected to be announced on Monday at the opening of Computex 2019, will be called Radeon RX 3080 and RX 3070. These names were not chosen by “red” by chance: according to the marketing team’s idea, the graphics cards with such model numbers can be effectively contrasted with the latest generation of NVIDIA GPUs, […]

Video: MIT scientists make autopilot more human-like

Creating self-driving cars that can make human-like decisions has been a long-standing goal of companies like Waymo, GM Cruise, Uber and others. Intel Mobileye offers a Responsibility-Sensitive Safety (RSS) mathematical model, which the company describes as a "common sense" approach that is characterized by programming the autopilot to behave in a "good" way, such as giving other cars the right of way.

Scientists have created a new form of computing that uses light

McMaster University graduate students, led by Associate Professor of Chemistry and Chemical Biology Kalaichelvi Saravanamuttu, described the new computational method in a paper published in the scientific journal Nature. For the calculations, the scientists used a soft polymer material that turns from liquid to gel in response to light. Scientists call this polymer “a next-generation autonomous material that responds to stimuli and […]

AMD succeeded in proving the flawlessness of its processors in court

Under current US law, companies subject to it must regularly disclose in Forms 8-K, 10-Q and 10-K major risk factors that threaten the business or could result in serious losses for shareholders. As a rule, investors or shareholders constantly file claims against company management in court, and pending claims are also mentioned in the risk factors section. […]

Electrical diagrams. Schema types

Hello Habr! More often, articles provide colorful pictures instead of electrical diagrams, which causes disputes in the comments. In this regard, I decided to write a short educational article on the types of electrical circuits classified in the Unified System of Design Documentation (ESKD). Throughout the entire article I will rely on the ESKD. Let's consider GOST 2.701-2008 Unified System of Design Documentation (ESKD). Scheme. Types and […]

The magic of numbers in decimal numbers

This article was written in addition to the previous one at the request of the community. In this article we will understand the magic of numbers in decimal numbers. And let’s consider the numbering not only adopted in the ESKD (Unified System of Design Documentation), but also in the ESPD (Unified System of Program Documentation) and KSAS (Set of Standards for Automated Systems), since Harb largely consists of IT […]
