The Mentor IESF recently took place in Plymouth, Mich. and featured a heavy dose of technology built around autonomous vehicle and connected vehicle themes. Here are a few of the more interesting sights we discovered as we perused the technical sessions and the show floor. NEXT PAGE :Two displays, one computing platform

The IoT and motion control fuels a rising tide of Raspberry PI, BeagleBoard, and Arduino boards
The internet of things has created a big market for inexpensive computer boards, so much so that standard open-source designs now have their own clones. Leland Teschler • Executive Editor If you eyeball crowd-funding sites such as Indiegogo or Kickstarter you will find several projects aimed at creating computer boards in the format of the […]
AI at the edge with Vision Processing Unit featuring dedicated neural compute engine
Intel today introduced its new Movidius Myriad X vision processing unit (VPU), advancing Intel’s end-to-end portfolio of artificial intelligence (AI) solutions to deliver more autonomous capabilities across a wide range of product categories including drones, robotics, smart cameras and virtual reality. Myriad X is world’s first system-on-chip (SOC) shipping with a dedicated Neural Compute Engine for accelerating […]
Full Core X-series processor family specs released
Today, Intel is releasing the specifications for the 12- to 18-core processors: Intel Core i9-7920X, Intel Core i9-7940X, Intel Core i9-7960X and the Extreme Edition Intel Core i9-7980XE processors. Announced at Computex 2017, the Intel Core X-series processor family is the most powerful, scalable and accessible high-end desktop platform offered by Intel, designed to deliver the performance […]
GPUs: Not just for graphics anymore
Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) are special processors that can rapidly process repetitive computations. GPUs were originally designed for rendering performance-hungry display graphics to take excess load off of CPUs. GPUs can be characterized by extremely fast computing power, especially in repetitive computations. Within the past decade, GPUs are increasingly used in applications that require […]
Riding a secure IoT wave
What’s been called the Third Wave of Computing — IoT — probably feels more like a tidal wave to the multitude of hardware, software, cloud, and other IoT-related manufacturers and service providers. That is, in part, because riding that wave is a lack of interoperability, ecosystem immaturity, data privacy, time-to-market, multiple technology choices, and the […]
Tiny Intel Curie module-based board targets IoT uses
Premier Farnell today launch tinyTILE, an Intel Curie module based board that has been created in partnership with Intel. tinyTILE is the latest development to come from a successful partnership between Intel and Premier Farnell. This new board has been specifically designed for use in wearable and IoT designs for consumer and industrial edge products. […]
Software accelerates FPGA performance
via compile time improvements, IP integration
Altera, now part of Intel, announced the production release of the new Quartus Prime Pro design software, which further accelerates FPGA design performance and design team productivity. The Quartus Prime Pro software is architected to support the next generation of high capacity, highly integrated FPGAs from Intel, which will drive innovation across the cloud, data […]
