ECC RAM in Embedded Systems

June 12, 2020

Error correction code (ECC) memory is a must-have for every embedded computer platform, right? Not exactly. There are places where it absolutely makes sense. But there are probably even more where it’s not required. First, let’s define the memory type. ECC RAM is found in servers where data loss would be catastrophic. Its differentiating factor… Read More »

Innovations Created by the COVID-19 Pandemic

April 27, 2020

Looking into the future, can we define any technologies that will be accelerated by the global crisis? Artificial intelligent (AI) is sure to be one. For example, temperature scanning and alerts are already available, but I expect these technologies to be improved and more prevalent at mass gatherings. When you add AI and some of… Read More »
