In the interview, they demo a recent customer deliverable as a cloud API and UI stack built for both internal use and external demos. The work spans database, backend, frontend, deployment, QA, and documentation—basically the whole SDLC—so the output can move from prototype to something that is maintainable, testable, and ready for CI/CD style release delivery.

A big part of the Serbia teams’ footprint is semiconductor and embedded development: IC/ASIC and SoC design verification, FPGA and low-level firmware, plus board bring-up and custom PCB design for startups moving from “idea” to manufacturable hardware. That typically means translating product requirements into schematics, layout constraints, DFM checks, and robust interfaces that survive real-world noise, power, and thermal edge cases on a chip.

They also position themselves as one node in a wider European network (HQ in Paris, multiple sites across France, and a design center in Lisbon), which matters for time-zone overlap, cross-site code reviews, and consistent engineering process. This clip was filmed on the show floor at Embedded World North America 2025 in Anaheim, giving a quick look at how nearshore engineering teams present full-stack and embedded capability in one scope.

The booth demo concentrates on ADAS functions you’d associate with Level-2 highway assist: lane keeping assistance and adaptive cruise control, where target speed and following distance are set and the vehicle model reacts to lane geometry and traffic. Filmed at Embedded World North America 2025, it highlights how teams can iterate on longitudinal and lateral control, tuning, and edge cases in SIL/MIL flows before committing to full HIL rigs or vehicle fleets for program.

Under the hood, this kind of ADAS work typically spans real-time ECU software, gateway networking, diagnostics, and integration with vehicle buses like CAN/CAN FD and Automotive Ethernet, plus perception/control interfaces that often sit alongside AUTOSAR stacks, Embedded C/C++, and embedded Linux. Ban Vien also frames “trusted” as both delivery discipline and security posture, pointing to credentials they publish such as Automotive SPICE Level 3, ISO 27001:2013, TISAX AL2, and CMMI Level 3, which align with common OEM expectations around traceability and secure development today.

On their ADAS materials, they also describe an education-oriented BV platform approach: an SDK intended to shorten work on kernel drivers and middleware, and drag-and-drop control-system modeling aimed at quickly generating code for plug-and-play experiments. Taken together, the interview positions Ban Vien as a 600+ person team spanning automotive, smart IoT, logistics, and fintech, with a focus on simulation-driven verification, ECU integration, and SDV architecture scope.

The framing is that many quant and risk workloads behave like NP-hard or stochastic search spaces: portfolio construction, scenario generation, stress testing, and Monte Carlo pipelines quickly explode in state count and data volume. HPC acts as the problem-solver layer that makes iterative model calibration, parameter sweeps, and pricing runs practical at the pace markets demand, without waiting on a single workstation for pricing.

On the architecture side they point to AWS ParallelCluster with the Slurm scheduler to provision and queue workloads, then emphasize an elastic, dynamic cluster model rather than a fixed always-on grid. Each researcher or team can spin up a right-sized cluster with guardrails, and when runs complete the infrastructure is shut down to avoid idle burn; the interview was recorded at Supercomputing SC25 in St Louis, where these cloud-HPC patterns show up across many domains of compute.

They also clarify what AWS “HPC certification” signals in practice: proven competence designing and delivering HPC architectures on AWS, backed by successful real engagements. Cognizant positions this as a repeatable cloud-HPC playbook that extends beyond capital markets into regulated sectors like health sciences, banking, insurance, energy, and aerospace, where governance, security controls, and performance engineering must scale.

The demo focus is semi-outdoor HMI: a 21.5-inch APM-22 class unit targeting IP65 sealing and IK08 impact resistance, aimed at environments like EV charging, access control panels, and other outdoor terminals where wash-down, dust ingress, and vandal risk are real design inputs. In the same family, smaller formats (around 10.1-inch) lean into very high brightness for sunlight readability, while keeping the same “rugged-first” constraints that drive enclosure design and glass selection for field use.

A practical detail is how these displays fit into a full system architecture. TES TEC can pair the touch monitor with an embedded compute module (often in collaboration with industrial PC partners such as GIGAIPC / Gigabyte), or the customer can bring their own x86/ARM box PC and treat the display as a hardened peripheral. That split matters for lifecycle control: you can keep the mechanical + optical stack stable while iterating compute, I/O (USB-HID touch, serial, GPIO), and OS images across SKUs without redoing the whole front panel stack.

The broader takeaway is that “touch display” is really a reliability problem wearing a UI badge: brightness vs power budget, sealing vs thermal dissipation, glove-compatible PCAP tuning, anti-glare/anti-fingerprint coatings, and operating temperature planning all show up fast once you move from indoor POS to semi-outdoor and industrial embedded. This short interview is filmed at Embedded World North America 2025, and it’s a good snapshot of what vendors mean when they say they can meet customers anywhere on the path from component to complete HMI route.

A key theme is how “M2M” still matters at the bottom of the IoT stack: low-data-rate telemetry, metering, and condition monitoring where power budget, coverage, and cost dominate. That frames the LPWAN conversation (think LoRaWAN, NB-IoT, LTE-M, private sub-GHz, and gateway backhaul), plus the practical trade-offs around duty cycle, payload size, latency, and device lifetime for battery-powered node.

The IMC pavilion model is essentially a curated marketplace: sustaining members get access to speaking slots, lead-generation channels, and a buyer audience that is already comparing options like cellular routers, embedded modules, edge gateways, device security tooling, and managed connectivity. The discussion also hints at “embedded IoT” priorities that show up repeatedly in IMC programming: power profiles, lifecycle management, and security posture from firmware through cloud API.

This video was filmed at Embedded World North America 2025, where IMC also highlights Edge AI as an on-ramp to near-real-time decisions at the gateway or device: local inference, bandwidth reduction, and tighter control loop. If you’re building a deployment, the interesting takeaway is less about buzzwords and more about how community, standards awareness, and practical evaluation content can reduce integration risk and speed up vendor selection with higher trust.

The core pattern is a two-stage pipeline: a live camera feed is ingested via Qualcomm’s video/vision stack (IM SDK), then a YOLO-style object detector is trained and deployed quickly in Edge Impulse to identify vehicles and extract structured facts (class, bounding box, confidence, and any extra attributes you train). That compact, machine-readable payload is then passed to an on-device LLM so you can ask constrained questions like color, make/model, or visible damage, while keeping outputs more predictable at the edge.

A big theme is why on-device matters in real deployments: bandwidth and latency ceilings, intermittent connectivity, and privacy constraints that make “ship everything to cloud” fragile or expensive. AIR-055 targets production form factors with local Linux-style development and debugging, and the IQ9 platform is positioned for running billion-parameter class models in practical response time using heterogeneous acceleration (CPU/GPU plus Hexagon NPU) when the workload fits.

The demo generalizes beyond cars: the same vision-to-LLM handoff maps to PPE detection, safety and incident triage, vehicle crash detection, inspection workflows, and retail or public-safety analytics. The interesting technical takeaway is model cascading: let a fast detector or VLM front-end compress pixels into a clean semantic summary, then let the LLM reason over that summary for audit-friendly results at the edge, right now.

A useful way to think about their offering is “layers”: bare display panel, then optical/touch elements (PCAP touch, cover glass, optical bonding), then mechanical and environmental protection (gaskets, coatings, impact shields), and finally the embedded computer behind it. That architecture matters in industrial and mission-critical deployments because the same core panel can be tuned for glare control, sunlight readability, EMI behavior, cleaning chemicals, and long duty-cycle reliability across a wide integration stack.

On the booth they show scale, from tiny sub-1″ panels suitable for wearables up through larger formats (they mention up to 32″), plus packaged all-in-one panel PCs like a 15.6″ Full HD unit and a larger 21.5″ option. The target verticals called out—industrial, military, medical, and avionics—tend to care about things like ingress protection, wide temperature range, robust mounting, predictable supply, and long-term firmware/driver stability across the full system envelope.

The ePaper side is where the contrast between “display tech” and “system integration” really shows: they demo tri-color ePaper (black/white/red) for high-contrast signage, and also full-color E Ink Spectra 6 panels that look close to printed posters because they’re reflective and bi-stable (holding an image with near-zero power between updates). They also highlight NFC-powered ePaper where a phone tap provides both data and energy, enabling batteryless labels and info cards that can refresh content on demand from a single tap.

Shot on the floor at Embedded World North America, the walkthrough is less about one single product and more about how modern embedded HMIs and signage get productized: panel selection, touch/optics, ruggedization, compute bundling, and then deploying the same platform across dashboards, room signs, shelf labels, and temporary conference tagging without turning every new SKU into a custom engineering project in the field.

A key theme is talent density and execution at scale: Qubika draws from multiple LATAM markets (with Brazil called out for depth), then applies that capacity across vertical teams in healthcare, fintech, media, and semiconductor/high-tech. The “sandwich” metaphor is about serving both Fortune 500 programs and early-stage product teams, using the same engineering discipline: architecture, delivery processes, and hardening paths that translate from prototype to production at scale.

On the semiconductor side, he points to pre- and post-silicon engagement: firmware development that sits close to the chipset, plus validation workflows that span simulation and testing environments before hardware is fully available. In practice that usually means tight loops around bring-up, boot-chain readiness, integration/verification, and regression automation using CI/CD pipelines, with pre-silicon execution happening via simulators, emulators, and virtual platforms to catch issues earlier in the cycle before tapeout.

“AI-native” is described less as a single product and more as an operating model: every engineering service line uses AI tooling to improve throughput, and Qubika also builds custom LLM and agentic systems for customers that must stay behind a firewall (private deployment, security-first controls, and enterprise governance). The conversation was recorded on the Embedded World North America 2025 show floor in Anaheim.

A core theme is zero-trust device security where you assume the contract manufacturer is not trusted, then use components like IAR Embedded Trust and IAR Secure Deploy to enforce secure provisioning, reduce overproduction risk, block illegal cloning, and keep firmware authentic via secure boot, encrypted update delivery, and encryption for data at rest and in transit

That maps well to what many teams now face in medical, automotive, industrial control, and consumer IoT, where regulation and procurement demand evidence of secure lifecycle control, MISRA compliance, and functional-safety readiness across standards like ISO 26262, IEC 61508, and IEC 62304

On the booth demo side, Sean highlights IAR C-STAT static analysis in its TÜV-certified form, alongside certified toolchains that help reduce tool-qualification effort, and the broader shift toward IAR cloud-enabled platform work where builds, analysis, and security gates can slot into CI/CD and DevSecOps routines across distributed teams

The discussion on AI stays practical: many developers already use AI code generation inside editors like Visual Studio Code, while IAR focuses on verification, determinism, and partner ecosystems, including POSIX-compliant RTOS options such as PX5 for teams migrating from embedded Linux toward tighter real-time behavior at booth 813 during Embedded World North America 2025

The core idea is outside-in optical tracking: infrared cameras observe retroreflective markers on the headset and props, then tracking software (ART’s DTRACK) turns those 2D observations into a continuously streamed 3D pose. In compact setups this can be a plug-and-play stereo unit like SMARTTRACK3, while higher-end cameras such as ARTTRACK6/M target high frame rate and low latency for tight VR control loops today.

Why the “little balls” on the glasses? A single marker gives 3DoF position, but a multi-marker target yields full 6DoF pose with millimeter-level stability, which matters when perspective shifts are obvious to the eye. Markerless computer-vision tracking can work, but accuracy and occlusion handling are harder; ART also points toward deep-learning approaches like CAPTA when you need to track objects without tagging there.

Beyond this cycling rig, the same pipeline maps to flight simulation, maintenance rehearsal, ergonomics testing, in-car HMI prototyping, and mixed-reality manufacturing workflows where humans and tools must align with a digital twin. ART describes deployments from small lab volumes to hall-scale multi-camera arrays, with thousands of installations and long-running customer programs in the field of work.

Filmed on the Supercomputing SC25 show floor in St Louis with the HLRS booth nearby, the interview highlights how precise 6DoF tracking becomes infrastructure for interactive HPC visualization, CAVE/XR labs, and real-time engines like Unity or Unreal via VRPN/OpenVR style data streams. The takeaway is simple: when you need repeatable, low-jitter pose data for simulation and training, robust marker targets plus calibrated IR camera geometry still win, fast.

The study targets architectural and intra-generation variation, including GPU–GPU differences where you might assume identical behavior. On NERSC Perlmutter, the same NVIDIA A100 family (40 GB vs 80 GB) can shift kernel runtime by roughly 9–26%, especially across memory-bound AMReX kernels, which means naïve load balance can waste expensive accelerators even when every job “fits” on paper.

Two schedulers are compared against a classic homogeneous knapsack baseline. Performance-aware scheduling compresses each node into a 1D relative-speed vector (better/worse than a reference), while relation-aware scheduling lifts that into a 2D relative performance matrix describing how every node compares to every other node, which is useful when topology, memory size, or contention creates non-transitive order.

The evaluation uses 14 representative AMReX kernels spanning compute-bound and memory-bound behavior, and reports near-perfect scheduling efficiency with measurable speedups in moderate heterogeneity and dramatic gains when CPU and GPU resources coexist. Recorded at Supercomputing SC25 in St. Louis, it also frames heterogeneity as a broader orchestration problem that can extend to cloud placement, Kubernetes clusters, and ML-assisted runtime prediction, in the same kind of on-site interview format you also capture at events like Web Summit Lisbon 2025.

A key next step is I/O contention and data movement: PCIe/NVLink traffic, burst buffers, and shared parallel filesystems can turn a “balanced” compute schedule into a stalled pipeline. Modeling those middleware effects alongside compute profiling would let future schedulers optimize makespan with a more realistic cost model, and keep utilization high without guessing.

In the demo, each board behaves like a subsystem: a CAN-connected cluster, touch input driving a motor function, a temperature-driven fan loop, and a solar-panel node where shining a phone flashlight visibly changes the measured voltage. The interesting part is the full path: sensor → BLE link → gateway UI, plus bidirectional control back to the edge device in the same session for tight feedback.

The platform callout is the PIC32-BZ6 family (also available as RF-certified modules): a 128 MHz Arm Cortex-M4F MCU with FPU, 2 MB Flash and roughly 512 KB SRAM, aimed at leaving headroom for OTA firmware growth while hosting multiprotocol stacks like Bluetooth LE and IEEE 802.15.4 (Thread, Matter, and proprietary options). Pairing that with “real” MCU peripherals such as CAN-FD and typical ADC/PWM/touch blocks is what lets one design bridge legacy bus traffic with app-driven wireless control today.

Filmed at Embedded World North America 2025, it’s a practical snapshot of how embedded teams mix deterministic CAN-style domains with BLE and 802.15.4 ecosystems, aiming for simpler harnessing, easier provisioning, and smartphone-first diagnostics while keeping the real-time loop close to the device for predictable edge behavior here.

A nice part of the booth story is how HLRS turns raw compute into something people can feel and understand: a VR bicycle ride where head motion drives the viewpoint, and the workload “pushes back” as the track climbs, blending real-time visualization, interaction latency constraints, and human factors into one demo. It’s a small example of a bigger theme in scientific visualization: tight coupling between simulation output, rendering pipelines, tracking, and user input so decisions can happen in the moment rather than after a batch job is done there.

The drone demo points at a more operational pipeline: capture reality with 3D scanning (photogrammetry and/or LiDAR), build a high-fidelity model, then run scenario simulation on top—flooding, terrain evolution, and climate-condition what-ifs. That workflow depends on data fusion, meshing, uncertainty handling, and repeatable compute environments, because the value is not the pretty point cloud but the ability to test how a system behaves under stress in the future.

For robotics, the focus is “virtual commissioning” and modular digital twins: training and validating a robot arm against a virtual cell before the physical module is even assembled, then translating that to real hardware with fewer integration surprises. Recorded on the Supercomputing SC25 show floor in St. Louis, the booth walk-through ties this to industrial partners (including TRUMPF-style laser/manufacturing contexts), where physics-based simulation, collision checking, and control-loop tuning benefit from HPC throughput and clean toolchains on the floor.

The forward-looking thread is convergence: HLRS is betting on HPC + AI as a single stack (and keeping quantum on the horizon), where simulation produces data, AI improves surrogate modeling and parameter search, and both share the same expensive infrastructure efficiently. The HammerHAI “AI Factory” angle adds the missing glue—secure and accessible AI compute for industry and academia, plus practical support for datasets, training, and deployment patterns that make supercomputing useful beyond a single lab, right up to production edge.

From the OpenHPC booth at Supercomputing SC25, this short interview frames OpenHPC as a Linux Foundation community project that bundles the “boring but critical” ingredients of a functional HPC cluster into a coherent, reproducible baseline: provisioning, a scheduler/resource manager starting point, I/O clients, developer toolchains, and common scientific libraries that many labs have relied on for decades. https://openhpc.community/

A big theme is integration work: cluster software is not just Linux packages in isolation, it is drivers, kernel/user-space interfaces, RDMA-capable networking, and the rest of the stack that must be built and validated together. OpenHPC maintains continuously rebuilt repositories and uses automated build-and-test workflows so versions stay consistent, reducing the odds that an OS update breaks MPI, an interconnect fabric, or a compiler toolchain stack.

The conversation also touches the reality of heterogenous fleets and global preferences: OpenHPC targets both x86_64 (AMD/Intel) and Arm (aarch64), and it is commonly consumed on enterprise-compatible Linux choices such as Rocky Linux and AlmaLinux, alongside other supported distributions. Sponsorship and contributions help keep the infrastructure running, while the project stays open to practical fixes from universities, labs, and cloud operators when a particular hardware permutation behaves oddly out in the field.

If you are building your first cluster, the takeaway is that OpenHPC is meant to be a safe starting line, not a locked box: you can rebuild packages with your own tuning flags, interconnect choices, and site policy, while still inheriting a tested packaging framework. The community workflow—GitHub plus real-time help channels—also matters, because “it works on my nodes” is an endless combinatorics problem in HPC, and shared troubleshooting is part of the product of this work.

One of the more interesting integrations is “smart surfaces” that combine comfort and sensing. The demo pairs radiant heating elements with capacitive proximity/touch, so the surface can warm quickly for EV energy efficiency while still warning the user as temperature rises and tracking contact to reduce burn risk. The same sensing discipline maps to Hands-Off Detection (HoD) for assisted driving, where the vehicle must detect hand presence even when heating, humidity, or electromagnetic interference would normally confuse a sensor, and it does this with a single-chip touch architecture in mind there.

On the display side, the cockpit is treated as a multi-screen domain: a wide curved OLED dash area plus a separate touchpad zone that supports pinch-to-zoom navigation gestures, touch buttons, and a functional-safety posture aligned with ISO 26262 (Microchip even markets M1-generation maXTouch parts as ASIL-B ready building blocks for large curved displays, including OLED and emerging microLED). Filmed at Embedded World North America 2025, the booth setup also stitches in rear-view camera views, wireless phone charging detection, and lightweight “in-car app” interactions to show how these inputs can coexist inside.

The practical takeaway is that the demo is already “car-real”, but production depends on OEM and Tier-1 integration across the full bill of materials: the display vendor, seat or trim supplier for heating elements, and the ECU teams that own safety cases and cybersecurity boundaries. As the interview notes, a 2–3 year path from reference cockpit to a shipping program is plausible once touch robustness, thermal behavior, and driver-distraction rules are validated on the road.

A recurring theme is fit beyond keywords: technical depth, cultural alignment, and the practical “company fit” that determines whether someone will thrive in a given roadmap, org structure, and go-to-market motion. He describes looking for “diamonds in the rough” by triangulating signals like real embedded experience, problem-solving habits, and communication style, then supporting candidates with resume tuning, interview prep, and offer context to improve outcome quality and long-term value.

There’s also a skills message aimed at engineers: build a T-shaped profile with at least three strong areas, spanning low-level embedded work (firmware, MCU/SoC, drivers, RTOS/Linux) and higher-level system thinking (networking, cloud connectivity, product constraints), while treating AI tooling as part of the modern workflow. He points to “YouTube university,” AI chatbots, and community learning as ways to keep pace without waiting for formal training, especially when stacks evolve quickly.

The conversation was filmed on the show floor at Embedded World North America 2025, where community nodes and meetups help people learn from peers and discover roles they wouldn’t find via generic job boards. Webster highlights cross-border mobility as normal in this market: EU↔US moves, plus work across Japan, Korea, and Taiwan, with sensitivity to cultural differences in outreach, interviewing, and negotiation.

Finally, he clarifies the business model: candidates don’t pay, and client companies fund the search, with the recruiter operating more like an external talent partner than HR. Beyond introductions, they share live market signal—hiring velocity, role demand, and compensation ranges—so CEOs and hiring managers can calibrate plans, and candidates can aim their next move with clearer expectation and zero candidate fee.

A practical pain point he highlights is onboarding friction: many consumer and industrial devices never get connected because Wi-Fi setup is annoying, unstable, or simply skipped by the person who owns the device. Monogoto’s answer is to pre-embed cellular as a managed back channel, so the device can always report health metrics, pull firmware, and stay serviceable even when local networks are down. The comparison to point-of-sale terminals is useful: cellular avoids dependence on venue Wi-Fi and keeps the device reachable in the field today.

Software-defined here means policy and configuration can change after deployment without a truck roll, a recall, or a risky firmware change just to alter networking behavior. That includes region-aware routing and data-residency posture (for example keeping traffic in-region to align with GDPR expectations), plus per-device debugging workflows like temporarily opening specific ports, whitelisting a support IP, or enabling a diagnostic configuration for one unit. Conceptually it’s “connectivity-as-code”: API-driven control over routes, permissions, and device/network state, even as products expand into new countries and carrier environments there.

The panel discussion leans into security maturity for connected products: fleets of scanners, tablets, trucks, and gateways need the same cyber hygiene that cloud-native software teams take for granted. Kunik describes expectations like configurable firewall rules, audit trails, continuous monitoring/observability, and the ability to apply controls such as deep packet inspection, data-leak prevention, or traffic mirroring into enterprise SOC/SIEM tools. The most concrete primitive is secure over-the-air updates and trusted change control, so CVEs and misconfigurations can be fixed quickly without breaking uptime posture.

Filmed at Embedded World North America 2025, the conversation positions programmable connectivity as a foundation for edge AI deployments where devices roam across countries, carriers, and regulatory regimes. Monogoto’s broader framing (public cellular plus private LTE/5G, with satellite NTN also appearing in the wider platform narrative) reflects a shift toward hybrid networking fabrics that keep physical systems observable, supportable, and patchable wherever they operate in the market.

This talk dives into “mutator dynamics” in spatial, asexual populations: when do high-mutation-rate lineages win, fix, or get reversed by lower-mutation competitors as population size changes. It uses agent-based digital evolution on a 2D lattice to capture selection, drift, and clonal interference, then connects the patterns to hypermutator observations in oncology, antibiotic resistance, and other fast-evolving settings. https://midas.umich.edu/directory/matthew-andres-moreno/

The compute core is mapping that biology onto the Cerebras Wafer-Scale Engine (WSE-2): ~850,000 small cores, ~40 GB on-wafer SRAM (about 48 KB per core), a 2D mesh where communication is local to neighbors, and constrained host I/O. The simulation is reshaped to match the hardware: locality-preserving updates, neighbor message passing, and tight memory layouts that sidestep global sync.

To make observability fit the device, the run records the wafer-wide state as a single bit per site (high vs low mutation rate), turning frames into a compact distributed bitfield. A generalized ring-buffer scheme then packs time-series samples into fixed memory while staying flexible about run length, with sampling that can be even across history or biased toward recent dynamics depending on the analysis need.

The visual time series highlights two outcomes: one replicate where high-mutation “dark” types take over and stay fixed, and another where low-mutation pockets survive and later recolonize the grid. Performance numbers in the presentation compare CPU, an NVIDIA A100 GPU, and the wafer-scale run, reporting ~100,000× speedup vs CPU and ~294× vs A100 for this workload, which makes larger population sweeps far more reachable. This interview was recorded at Supercomputing SC25 in St. Louis, Missouri.

The broader takeaway is a recipe for running non-deep-learning HPC on AI/ML accelerators: treat sampling as a first-class design constraint, keep data movement local, and use bit-level compression to stretch on-chip SRAM. The talk also points to PSC’s Neocortex program, which provides supported research access to wafer-scale hardware through NSF ACCESS, helping more scientists experiment with these architectures in open science today.

This interview dives into NEC ExpEther, a PCIe-over-Ethernet concept that turns GPUs, NVMe, and other PCIe endpoints into a remotely attachable resource pool, so CPUs and accelerators don’t have to live in the same chassis to behave like one machine. It’s basically PCIe fabric disaggregation using Ethernet optics as the physical reach, with an eye on composable AI/HPC infrastructure and on-demand device attachment. https://www.nec.com/en/press/202511/global_20251113_01.html

In the demo, PCI Express Gen3 x16 traffic is carried over 100GbE across about 2 km of optical fiber, aiming for “close to PCIe” semantics while pushing the link far beyond normal backplane distances. You see an NVIDIA benchmark running on the remote GPU and the rendered output fed back to the host, which is a simple way to visualize how bandwidth, latency, DMA behavior, and reliability trade off when you tunnel PCIe over an Ethernet fabric here.

The practical motivation is infrastructure hygiene: put dense GPU trays where power delivery, direct liquid cooling, acoustic isolation, and physical access control are easier, while keeping CPU nodes nearer to users and sensitive data. A concrete example discussed is a campus deployment at The University of Osaka, where labs keep their own servers but shift hot, noisy accelerators into a centralized GPU pool (NEC describes NVIDIA H100NVL in the trial setup) and connect over 100Gbps fiber as needed, shown at Supercomputing SC25 in St. Louis, Missouri.

On the roadmap side, the conversation points to scaling the bridge from today’s Gen3 toward PCIe Gen5 x16, with later generations in view, which starts to look like a scheduling problem as much as a hardware one. If you can hot-plug accelerators on demand, you can tie this into cluster orchestration, device plugins, and queue-aware provisioning, so more of the AI pipeline becomes “attach what you need, run, detach” without rewriting the full stack from scratch today.

Veriest describes itself as a chip design partner for silicon vendors, spanning front-end architecture/RTL, back-end physical design, and low-level software that sits close to the silicon (BSP, drivers, bring-up, validation). The discussion frames “AI in semiconductors” as two parallel tracks: building AI accelerators into SoCs, and using AI to speed up the chip creation pipeline itself. https://www.veriests.com/

On the “AI to build chips” side, the interview leans into agentic/autonomous systems that can take on repetitive engineering work: design verification, regression triage, log clustering, test generation, coverage closure, constraint hygiene, and debugging support across evolving codebases. The key caveat is data: useful models typically need large, domain-specific corpora (design histories, bugs, waveforms, assertions, sign-off reports), plus a human-in-the-loop loop to keep results trustworthy and aligned with project intent, not just fast work flow.

On the “building AI chips” side, it connects to the edge-AI reality that most embedded vendors now ship: SoCs with on-chip NPUs/NN accelerators tuned for latency, power, and thermal limits. That pushes practical questions into the foreground—operator placement, quantization, memory bandwidth, real-time scheduling, and which modality dominates (vision pipelines, audio inference, sensor fusion), because each drives a different compute/memory profile at the edge.

Later, recorded on the show floor at Embedded World North America 2025, the conversation also touches security as another dual-use mirror: applying AI to security (finding flaws, prioritizing fixes) while also securing AI (model integrity, update chains, and attack surfaces). In chip terms that can mean secure boot, root-of-trust, TEE isolation, side-channel awareness, and supply-chain discipline that protects both firmware and deployed models once devices are out there.

The overall takeaway is pragmatic: today’s AI won’t let you type “make me a 2 nm chip” and walk away, but it can meaningfully compress iteration cycles and reduce the grind in verification and bring-up as complexity keeps rising. If you’re watching the semiconductor stack converge with LLM tooling, NPUs, and safety/security requirements, this is a compact snapshot of where “agentic EDA” meets real product constraints today.
