MONAKA is presented as an Arm-based many-core CPU family (Armv9-A), scaling beyond the A64FX era and targeting dense, energy-aware compute per rack. Public specs point to a 3D chiplet approach (compute + stacked SRAM/cache + I/O), a 2 nm compute die, and dual-socket configurations reaching 144 cores per socket, paired with modern memory and I/O like DDR5, PCIe 6.0 and CXL for balanced bandwidth per node.

MONAKA-X is about accelerating the AI-HPC “meeting point”: scalar control and irregular memory access on CPU, while pushing massively parallel matrix math to accelerators. Fujitsu highlights Arm SME (Scalable Matrix Extension) as an NPU-like matrix engine in its CPU story, then extends it with coherent, high-bandwidth CPU↔GPU integration via NVIDIA NVLink Fusion/NVLink, aimed at lowering latency and reducing data-copy overhead on the hot path.

At the system level, the slides split networking into scale-up communication inside a rack and scale-out communication between racks, acknowledging that the fabric is as critical as the compute silicon once you chase thousands of nodes. The conversation also touches on a more global posture for the next machine, and it was recorded on the Supercomputing 2025 show floor in St. Louis, where interoperability and ecosystem alignment are clearly part of the narrative here.

The “100× faster application performance over Fugaku” claim is framed as a software problem as much as a hardware one: compilers, profilers, math libraries, mixed-precision workflows, and performance-portable frameworks that can target CPU, GPU, and matrix extensions without rewriting everything. The timeline discussed is detailed design work through 2026–2027 and full operation around 2030, with an even more integrated “XX” CPU–NPU fusion hinted at but not yet disclosed in detail here.

A standout demo here is the compact round smart knob module: a small circular TFT paired with a rotary input so you get tactile control plus live on-screen feedback for thermostats, appliance controls, and embedded dashboards. It’s shown running on an STM32 platform, and this class of module typically exposes low-pin-count host links (SPI, I2C, UART) while storing UI assets (fonts, bitmaps) in on-board NOR flash to keep the host firmware and RAM footprint under control for an embedded device.

They also show larger color TFT demos (including a 5-inch class panel and a 10.1-inch panel) driven by an STM32-based controller board, leaning toward “ready-to-use” subassemblies rather than a bare glass-only part. The 10.1-inch unit is described as ~1024×600-class (quoted as 1724×600 in the transcript) and calls out rugged connectivity like CAN-bus/Ethernet-style interfaces and an RJ45 port, which fits industrial wall controllers, gateways, and service tools where wiring, noise tolerance, and field diagnostics drive the design. This was filmed on the Embedded World North America 2025 show floor.

Another interesting pattern is the hybrid display approach: a small color TFT combined with a VA monochrome/segment region to get high-brightness, high-contrast readout alongside richer graphics, which is a common trick for automotive and outdoor UI where readability is the hard constraint. They also cite regulated-market quality systems (ISO 13485 for medical manufacturing and IATF 16949 for automotive supply chains), signaling process control, traceability, and consistency as part of the deliverable in a deployed field.

Recorded around Embedded World North America 2025 in Anaheim, he recaps the IoT Stars meetup (about 200 attendees at the House of Blues) and the kind of conversations developers actually need: a fireside chat with AWS IoT leadership and Avnet, plus panels on modernizing the embedded stack with newer connectivity, CI/CD, and device-ops patterns that shorten the path from prototype to shipped device.

A big thread is maturity: early IoT hype often lacked clear business models and reliable lifecycle management, so deployments stalled at pilots. Marc’s own arc maps that evolution, from building connected devices since 2007 and launching an IoT platform startup in 2012, to fleet management work at balena in 2020 where OTA updates, rollback, security patching, and observability become non-negotiable for anything deployed at scale.

What changes the equation now is on-device ML and model cascading: multiple optimized models running on the same embedded target, with outputs feeding the next stage (for example, object detection triggering a smaller classifier, or a visual pipeline combined with time-series anomaly detection). He also points at the rise of compact LLM and vision-language model runtimes at the edge, pushing workloads from cloud APIs into MCU/SoC firmware for lower latency, lower bandwidth, and tighter data control today.

Underneath, this is a developer-experience story: reduce friction with integrated data acquisition, labeling, DSP blocks, AutoML, quantization-aware training, and compilation paths that fit tight RAM/flash budgets on real hardware, often alongside RTOS workflows like Zephyr. The broader takeaway is that communities like IoT Stars help translate “GenAI everywhere” into deployable embedded patterns you can test, update, and maintain in the field, with fewer surprises and more.

Micro Crystal focuses on miniature quartz timing parts that sit next to the MCU: external real-time clock (RTC) modules, 32.768kHz tuning-fork crystals, and kHz oscillators. The core idea is simple: accurate timekeeping with a nanoamp-scale standby current, so battery devices can sleep most of the time, wake on a schedule, timestamp events, and still keep correct time across long intervals. https://www.microcrystal.com/en/products/real-time-clock-rtc-modules/rv-3028-c7

A key theme is why an external RTC can matter even when the microcontroller already includes one. Internal RTC blocks can be “good enough” for basic time, but they often trade away accuracy and quiescent current, especially across temperature. Micro Crystal highlights temperature-compensated RTC options around 160nA in timekeeping mode, targeting about 2.5ppm accuracy from -40 to +85°C, which translates to predictable drift when the device is exposed to real ambient swings.

The demo also points to the RV-3028-C7 family on an evaluation board, with an emphasis on the power budget (about 45nA at 3V in timekeeping mode) and calibration (factory trim around ±1ppm at room temperature). In practical design terms, that pairs well with an I2C RTC interface (fast-mode class), backup power switchover, trickle-charge options, alarm/interrupt outputs, and features like a UNIX time counter or event timestamping for logs and audits.

Use cases called out include wearables, healthcare patches, metering, and other embedded nodes where sleep scheduling and timestamp integrity are part of the product spec rather than a “nice to have.” The conversation is framed around real design tradeoffs: battery life vs drift, BOM vs calibration effort, and when it’s worth disabling the MCU’s internal clock and letting a dedicated timing module run the system clock domain, as shown on the Embedded World North America 2025 floor today.

On the bench, Quantropi shows its core crypto running on bare-metal microcontrollers, including a Renesas RA6 board and an ST board, to make the resource trade-offs visible: code size, heap/stack pressure, handshake time, and verification latency. The pitch is developer-centric portability: the same primitives can be used across ARM Cortex-M targets and common environments like FreeRTOS, Zephyr, Eclipse ThreadX, or “no RTOS at all” on the device.

A key theme is integration rather than theory: Quantropi extends mbedTLS so the TLS handshake can negotiate PQC (including the NIST-standard track like ML-KEM/ML-DSA patterns) while staying usable in embedded networking. They also demonstrate the same building blocks inside MCUboot to enable post-quantum code signing for OTA firmware updates and verified boot, keeping the chain-of-trust relevant as cryptographic assumptions evolve.

They spend time on entropy as a first-order primitive: strong keys require strong randomness, and they generate it in software using system-jitter sources to feed key generation and session setup. Filmed at Embedded World North America 2025, the takeaway is that PQC adoption in embedded is mostly about shipping constant-time, side-channel-aware libraries with clean APIs, so teams can migrate before compliance pressure lands here.

The discussion frames PQC as a compliance-driven migration problem as much as a math problem: crypto-agility, inventorying where keys live, and updating protocols like TLS, secure boot, and firmware signing before “harvest now, decrypt later” becomes a real business risk for long-lived data.

He references the first NIST standards now in play: ML-KEM (FIPS 203, derived from CRYSTALS-Kyber) for key encapsulation and ML-DSA (FIPS 204, derived from CRYSTALS-Dilithium) for digital signatures, plus SLH-DSA (FIPS 205, based on SPHINCS+) for hash-based signatures, with HQC selected by NIST in 2025 as an additional KEM on a different math track.

For embedded and IoT constraints, PQShield highlights PQMicroLib-Core, a bare-metal/RTOS library targeting small RAM footprints (as low as ~13 kB) and designed to run across ARM cores and RISC-V, with optional protections aimed at side-channel and DPA attack surfaces where physical access is realistic.

On the hardware side, the product stack spans Root-of-Trust and co-processor IP (e.g., PQPlatform-TrustSys and PQPlatform-CoPro) through higher-throughput acceleration blocks for ML-KEM/ML-DSA in FPGA or ASIC contexts, including use cases like firewall/TLS termination; the interview is filmed on the Embedded World North America 2025 floor, and the business model is classic IP licensing with global engineering support.

A good antenna is a three-way trade: small physical volume, clean impedance match to the transceiver (S11/VSWR), and enough realized gain to hit link-budget targets. He points to practical optimization levers like matching networks, aperture and ground-plane tuning, and placement effects (detuning, shadowing), plus coexistence concerns when many radios share the same product footprint, here.

You get a tour of TE’s antenna range across Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GNSS, cellular 4G/5G and UWB, including internal, external, and board-mount options, and how TE uses pre-qualified antenna designs (including the Linx Technologies antenna portfolio) with radio chipsets/modules to make OEM RF integration more predictable. Examples mentioned include work around Nordic ecosystems and cellular module partners like Sequans, plus programs aimed at satellite and LEO connectivity, and the conversation was filmed at Embedded World North America 2025, today.

The booth demo then shifts to high-speed PCB connectivity for industrial computers and AI-centric SoCs: board-to-board mezzanine, flexible stacking, I/O card connectors, and rugged cable assemblies that carry both data and power. TE highlights STRADA Mesa mezzanine stacking connectors and STRADA Whisper backplane connectors designed around 112G PAM4 signal-integrity needs, plus industrial RJ45 MagJack connectors with integrated magnetics, reflow-compatible assembly, and PoE/PoE+/PoE++ support (IEEE 802.3at and 802.3bt) for single-cable power plus Ethernet in industrial gear at the edge.

A smart-meter reference board ties the story together as a “BOM snapshot”: SoM/carrier connectors, SIM interfaces, USB, and both internal and external antenna paths, showing how many interconnect choices sit behind one deployed radio node. TE is based in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, ships multi-billion components into devices worldwide, and runs engineering and manufacturing globally (including teams in Switzerland), with the key message being co-design: keep RF performance stable, manage EMI/EMC and interference, and shorten time-to-market through validation, reference designs, and field-application support close to customer now.

The demo is a good reality check on what matters in the field: far-field microphones, ambient noise, and the need for reliable speech-to-text, dialog management, and guardrails before the LLM response ever reaches a user. BCM mentions adding “talker” awareness and presence recognition so the kiosk can focus on the person in front of the screen, a pattern that fits with camera-based user detection, wake-word gating, and on-prem governance policy.

On the vision side, BCM shows a low-power embedded system paired with Intel RealSense depth cameras for depth-aware perception and identification, quoted at around 12 W for always-on sensing. For many deployments, this kind of constrained, deterministic edge compute is the point: stable thermals, predictable latency, and continuous operation for retail analytics, industrial automation, and medical edge work.

The rest of the booth tour connects form factors to deployment options: mini-ITX through micro-ATX/ATX and up to E-ATX, plus integrated systems and rackmount builds that can be configured with high I/O and even double-wide GPU support. BCM also references medically certified box PCs (IEC/EN 60601 and related safety/EMC scope) to shorten regulatory paths, and a server roadmap spanning Emerald Rapids today and Intel Xeon 6 “Granite Rapids” motherboards (including Made-in-USA variants) for datacenter, government, and long-life embedded duty at Embedded World North America 2025.

A practical theme is form-factor and interface flexibility: NVMe U.2 in 2.5-inch carriers for servers, classic 2.5-inch SATA for broad compatibility, and compact M.2 cards (2230/2280) for tight embedded layouts. On the PCIe side, Transcend is pushing Gen4x4 NVMe designs with DRAM cache, tuned firmware, and power-loss protection variants where data integrity has to survive sudden power cuts, too.

For industrial deployments, ruggedization is treated as an engineering process, not a marketing label. Wide-temperature parts (down to -40°C and up to +85°C in the transcript) are validated with long-duration chamber testing, cycling and soaking to expose controller throttling, NAND retention edge cases, and solder/connector fatigue in real heat, here.

The conversation also clarifies what “tier one” means in practice: sourcing higher-grade NAND from major suppliers, then packaging it into modules with consistent BOM control for defense, networking, and telecom environments. The demo kit highlights industrial USB devices used for field software updates (popular in robotics programs) and shows how mSATA, half-slim, and multiple M.2 sizes let OEMs match storage to mechanical constraints, right.

Beyond storage, Transcend is expanding into embedded vision with new camera modules for robotics and human–machine interfaces, pairing imaging with the same manufacturing discipline used for flash products. That move aligns with what they see in the market: AI training and inference workflows driving demand for more local storage bandwidth, lower latency, and reliable edge capture pipelines that keep running when conditions get rough, fast.

In analysis mode, Promira acts like a high-fidelity bus sniffer: it taps the lines, timestamps traffic, decodes protocol frames, and streams transactions live to the host UI. That real-time decode matters because you can keep the system running, interact with the device, and immediately correlate a wrong LED state (or any misbehavior) with the exact address, register, and payload that caused it, quickly.

In active mode, the same platform can also talk on the bus: it can generate transactions, emulate a controller, and deliberately manipulate devices to reproduce bugs or validate edge cases. The demo shows closed-loop work where a controller changes LED values while a second Promira instance monitors the bus simultaneously, giving you a tight feedback loop for debugging and test, cleanly.

They also position Promira as an upgrade path that consolidates capabilities previously split across dedicated adapters and analyzers, with features unlocked via software licensing as needs grow. Alongside Promira, the lineup spans USB and CAN interfaces for protocol bring-up, regression verification, and lab automation, and they hint at future ML-assisted anomaly detection and decode aids, though nothing is committed yet.

A separate part of the booth highlights Total Phase’s Advanced Cable Tester for production environments, using interchangeable modules to validate cable continuity, resistance, and signal-integrity targets for common connectors such as USB-C and HDMI. The emphasis is repeatable factory QA across batches rather than certification, with measurements that help catch marginal assemblies before they become field issues, at Embedded World North America 2025.

Qt Group’s pitch here is that modern embedded UI shouldn’t feel “embedded” anymore: Qt for MCUs is a lightweight graphics framework that brings phone-like interaction patterns (sliders, scrolling, transitions) onto microcontrollers with tight RAM/flash budgets, while keeping latency low enough to feel responsive on touch and rotary inputs. The key idea is that you can ship a richer HMI without jumping straight to a full MPU platform, and still keep deterministic behavior and cost where an MCU makes sense. https://www.qt.io/qt-for-mcus

A big part of the workflow story is designer–developer handoff: screens are authored in Figma, imported via a bridge into Qt Design Studio, then translated into an optimized embedded UI pipeline that preserves a pixel-for-pixel layout while generating assets and logic suitable for constrained targets. After import, engineers can still tune the result using a property editor and object hierarchy (rather than rewriting visuals by hand), which matters when you’re iterating UX alongside hardware constraints like frame buffer strategy, asset compression, and rendering load on a Cortex-M core.

Filmed at Embedded World North America 2025, the booth demos span multiple silicon families to underline portability: examples run on NXP (including an i.MX RT-class MCU mentioned as “1060”), Infineon platforms like TRAVEO, and a newly launched Infineon edge processor board referenced as “PSoC Edge.” The takeaway is less about any single chip and more about keeping one UI stack that can scale from bare-metal/RTOS MCU deployments up to Qt’s larger footprint on application-class processors, with the same interaction model carrying over across product tiers there.

On the “how is this even possible on a few megabytes” side, the demos show tricks like 2.5D-style animation and layered gauges that read like an instrument cluster, but are engineered for MCU realities: fewer abstractions, tighter control of timing, and careful budgeting of textures, fonts, and scene graphs. Qt highlights support across common embedded OS choices (bare metal, FreeRTOS, Zephyr, and AUTOSAR in automotive contexts), and contrasts this with GPU-accelerated Qt experiences on newer NXP i.MX parts (an i.MX95 example is shown for a medical-style UI with ranges and charts).

The broader direction they hint at is the convergence of MCU and MPU capabilities: more hybrid SoCs that deliver MPU-like graphics (and increasingly edge AI hooks) at MCU-like cost and power. That shows up in adjacent demos too, including an industrial “smart plant” concept (safety PPE detection and predictive maintenance) and an aerospace/defense MOSA-oriented interface example aimed at modular, spec-driven UI components that can be reused and refreshed across long-lived programs without re-platforming the whole stack each time, which is the real adoption path.

A central focus of the video is ATRO, Beckhoff’s modular industrial robot system, built from motor modules with integrated EtherCAT servo drives and safety plus passive link modules in various geometries and lengths. Customers assemble their own 4- to 6-axis or palletizing kinematics like Lego, tuning payload and reach by simply choosing different link modules rather than buying a new robot family. Internal routing for power, communication and compressed air eliminates external cable loops and enables endless rotation on every axis, so trajectories can take the shortest path and increase throughput. ATRO is fully integrated into TwinCAT, so the “robot controller” becomes just another real-time software task on the existing IPC instead of a separate hardware cabinet.

Beyond robotics, the tour shows Beckhoff’s mechatronic transport platforms, including the planar motor system used in their own IO-terminal production for low-volume “long tail” variants, and the XTS eXtended Transport System where independently controlled movers glide on an EtherCAT-driven stator track of power-electronics coils and permanent magnets. This allows highly flexible product handling, shorter machine footprints and individualized motion profiles per workpiece instead of rigid indexing conveyors. The interview, filmed at SPS Nuremberg 2025, underlines how such intelligent transport is now a core design element in packaging, pharma and general machinery rather than a niche option in experimental layouts.

Another key topic is cabinet-free automation with the MX-System, where sealed IP67 baseplates distribute power and communication to plug-in function modules that replace large parts of a traditional control cabinet. ([Beckhoff Automation][3]) Industrial PCs, power supplies, drives and I/O become modular building blocks that mount directly on the machine, cutting long cable runs and enabling commissioning in hours instead of days. Because many classic cabinet functions are combined into smart modules, users reduce component count and simplify spare-part strategies, while QR/data-matrix codes and app-based diagnostics make fault-finding accessible even for non-electricians, improving overall maintainability.

Beckhoff highlights how TwinCAT runs on Windows, Linux or BSD-based industrial PCs, supports containerized runtimes and can host multiple independent TwinCAT instances on one IPC to match modular machine segments. AI and machine learning are tightly coupled, with tools that automate neural-network training and deploy inference models directly in the real-time context, alongside integrated TwinCAT Vision with Beckhoff cameras, optics and illumination for end-of-line inspection. TwinCAT Core Boost then adds per-core turbo control, overclocking selected real-time or user-mode cores by up to around 50% to squeeze more deterministic performance out of standard Intel®/AMD multi-core CPUs and sometimes even step down to smaller processors, reducing hardware costs while keeping control performance ready for future workloads.

A concrete example is pairing NXP platforms with Kinara’s Ara-2 neural accelerator, which targets up to 40 eTOPS for on-device inference. In practice that’s about pushing transformer and CNN workloads through quantized INT8/INT4 pipelines, keeping memory traffic and thermals under control while still enabling LLM, VLM, and multimodal perception close to the camera or gateway device

Rather than “edge vs cloud,” the pattern described is a split pipeline: train and evaluate in the cloud, then compile, calibrate, and deploy optimized models on-device, with selective telemetry back to the cloud for monitoring and continuous improvement. NXP leans heavily on software here—toolchains, SDKs, and ML runtimes, plus strong engagement with open source ecosystems like Zephyr RTOS to keep the developer stack portable

The broader context is also supply and geography: NXP is headquartered in Austin, while expanding Europe manufacturing alignment via the ESMC joint venture in Dresden with partners including TSMC, Bosch, and Infineon. Filmed on the Embedded World North America 2025 show floor, the takeaway is that edge AI is now less about “can it run” and more about repeatable deployment: performance-per-watt, software maturity, and a clean path from prototype to product

On the demo side, the interesting bit is how much inference stays on the device. A Linux edge box runs multiple computer-vision models in parallel (face, mouth, eyes) aimed at worker-safety analytics, while other “production ready” edge models focus on gesture detection and voice-assistant style interaction. The cloud link is used for fleet visibility and, critically, for capturing labeled data so models can be retrained and redeployed through a tighter MLOps loop in the cloud.

This segment was filmed at Embedded World North America 2025, and it’s basically a hands-on workshop format: attendees open a kit and, within about an hour, see a supplier board connected and reporting into the cloud. The lineup spans NXP microcontrollers (MCX) and MPU dev boards (i.MX93 class), plus connectivity paths that map to real deployments in the Americas, including Amazon Sidewalk and AWS IoT Core for LoRaWAN-style device onboarding in the field.

A lot of the flow is anchored in Ubuntu and containerized delivery: the /IOTCONNECT Snap on Snapcraft lets teams standardize install and updates across heterogeneous edge hardware. The booth also points to higher-end edge compute like Seeed Studio platforms with NVIDIA Jetson Xavier NX, and Avnet’s Tria Technologies modules, including Qualcomm Dragonwing QCS6490-based Vision AI kits (SMARC form factor) for multi-camera vision workloads with CPU/GPU/DSP/NPU acceleration at the edge.

Newark (Premier Farnell in Europe) sits in the practical middle layer: stocked dev boards and lab gear (Tektronix, Fluke, Keysight class tools), plus a bridge from prototype to volume via Avnet partners—illustrated here with drone telemetry and maker-style demos like Raspberry Pi 5 running YOLO on a vision camera and pushing counts upstream. The takeaway is an ecosystem play: edge AI on many silicon families, with a fast, consistent route into cloud operations and lifecycle management at scale.

A recurring theme is edge AI packaged as deployable hardware, not just a chipset badge. The demo points at multi-camera analytics (roughly tens of video streams) where CPU + GPU/NPU throughput, memory bandwidth, and I/O determinism matter as much as raw TOPS. That fits deployments such as facial recognition, vision-based inspection, and local inference where latency and data-sovereignty keep processing on site.

On the system side, the tour contrasts fanless industrial boxes with more expansion-oriented designs. You see boxes tuned for factory and process automation with fixed, rugged I/O, and a thinner Ryzen-based unit highlighting multi-display output (multiple HDMI) for signage, control rooms, or operator panels. For heavier workloads, they point to a tower-style server configuration that pairs Intel Xeon-class platforms with add-in graphics for GPU-accelerated analysis and rendering.

The conversation is framed by Embedded World North America 2025, where visitors typically arrive with either a board-level design they need to finalize, or an installed base they want to modernize into an industrial gateway, edge server, or compact “industrial DC” node. The takeaway is the breadth of compute envelopes—from tiny embedded boards to accelerator-ready server boards—aimed at bridging OT constraints with modern x86 edge computing.

A core theme here is functional safety: GL Studio includes a safety-critical code generator and runtime library built around requirements traceability, verification/validation, and independent assessment, so UI logic can be argued and audited like any other safety feature. Chris Giordano calls out certification paths spanning DO-178C for avionics (with DO-330 TQL-1 tool qualification) and ISO 26262 work for automotive, and frames “safety critical” as proving every line of code behaves as specified, with regression tests and reviews tied back to the original requirements to reduce certification risk.

The demo, recorded at Embedded World 2025 North America, runs on a Toradex Verdin i.MX95 platform under both Yocto Linux and QNX, with an OpenGL ES graphics stack. Instead of a canned loop, the UI is driven live: zooming into quad views, walking through sub-menus, triggering declutter animations, flipping into navigation-style screens, and switching languages (including Korean) to show how localization and layout can stay coherent in motion on a show floor.

A practical engineering point is hardware/OS agnosticism: the same runtime is meant to land on many SoCs and RTOSes, and the setup shown layers the OS, graphics middleware, and the GL Studio app layer cleanly on top of reference hardware such as a Telechips Dolphin 5 Plus, with safety-oriented GPU classes like Arm Mali G78AE in the mix. The conversation also highlights that in space and some defense programs, “just use a GPU” can be unrealistic because rad-hard GPU options are limited, so a UI toolchain needs credible paths for constrained or CPU-heavy rendering while still preserving testability, determinism, and safety evidence along that path.

For even tighter devices, GL Studio Micro targets MCU-class systems that may have no OpenGL support at all, aiming for responsive graphics with a small footprint and fast startup. The broader takeaway is that modern HMI work is as much about certification artifacts, portability, and predictable runtime behavior as it is about pixels, which helps explain why the same toolchain shows up in vehicles from Jaguar Land Rover and Hyundai/Kia to safety-critical programs today.

ZutaCore explains why two-phase direct-to-chip cooling is showing up everywhere in AI infrastructure: instead of pushing more water through a cold plate, a dielectric fluid boils on the hot surface and carries heat away as vapor, so bubble activity naturally follows local heat flux. The loop then condenses that vapor and returns liquid back to the cold plate, which is why the demo looks like “cooling by boiling” while keeping electronics isolated from conductive coolant.

The key engineering point is that phase change does most of the work: temperature is pinned near the boiling point, and extra power shows up as more vapor generation rather than a runaway junction rise. Because the design targets low flow and low pressure, the mechanical plant can be simpler (smaller pumps, less parasitic power, fewer failure points), while staying safer around IT gear thanks to a non-conductive, non-corrosive fluid in a closed loop.

On the product side, they point to production-ready “server loop” assemblies that arrive factory-integrated on OEM platforms, including an NVIDIA-approved HGX B300 configuration shown on an ASRock Rack system. The conversation anchors on today’s 1,200 W-class accelerators and the need to stay ahead of upcoming heat-flux jumps, noting cold-plate validation figures up to 2,800 W and mentioning mixed CPU/GPU builds such as AMD EPYC plus AMD Instinct MI325X in the same rack.

Rather than framing it as just keeping silicon below a limit, they connect cooling to facility economics: lower fan power, lower pump power, and better overall PUE when racks are dense and power-constrained. In a segment filmed at Supercomputing SC25 in St Louis, a partner discussion with Neuralwatt cites measurements like reduced peak temperature, avoidance of thermal throttling, and a reported lift in inference “tokens per watt” when chip power management is combined with two-phase cooling, aiming at measurable energy efficiency.

They also preview OmniTherm, an orientation-agnostic two-phase cold plate meant for reversed layouts and emerging back-side power delivery, where gravity-sensitive vapor paths can break performance. The takeaway is that ZutaCore is packaging two-phase cooling as a familiar cold-plate integration plus a waterless CDU and loop architecture (including end-of-row CDU designs announced in late 2025), so operators can scale to higher-TDP NVIDIA, AMD, Intel, and custom accelerators without redesigning the chip.

Penguin Solutions walks through OriginAI, their “AI factory” concept: pre-validated rack architectures that balance GPU compute, storage, and networking, then arrive as an integrated system so teams spend less time wiring a bespoke stack and more time running training and inference. The conversation also nods to the company’s Linux heritage and why repeatable operations matter once you move beyond a few test nodes. https://www.penguinsolutions.com/

On the GPU roadmap, OriginAI is being updated to include NVIDIA DGX B300 platforms based on the Blackwell generation, targeting up to 72 petaFLOPs of training throughput and 144 petaFLOPs of inference performance per system, with availability referenced for early 2026. It also highlights NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 GPUs (dual-slot PCIe Gen5, 96GB GDDR7) for more space- and power-aware builds, plus support for AMD Instinct MI355 where that fits the workload mix.

The hardware is presented as modular: servers can come from partner OEM lines (including Dell) or Penguin-branded designs, storage is selectable via partners such as DDN, VAST Data, Pure Storage, or VDURA, and fabrics can be InfiniBand or Ethernet depending on topology and protocol needs. The point is to ship a known-good configuration, with in-factory integration and burn-in testing, so on-site deployment looks more like commissioning than a science project.

The demo then pivots to ICE ClusterWare, the layer that turns bare metal into an operable cluster: BMC control via IPMI or Redfish, PXE boot, DHCP/IP assignment, and image-based provisioning from Linux distros like Rocky/RHEL-style or Ubuntu. Filmed at Supercomputing SC25 in St. Louis, the console shows hundreds of nodes moving from offline to provisioning, with Grafana-style telemetry and a “chain booting” fan-out method to avoid stampeding-herd overload during mass bring-up.

What stands out is the operations focus: failure is assumed (ECC and memory events, NIC issues, GPU faults), and ClusterWare classifies signals, runs health checks, and applies auto-remediation policies—from automated reboots to ticket creation for a swap—while newer releases add network-isolated multi-tenancy for shared clusters. Zooming out, Penguin cites sovereign AI builds like SK Telecom’s Korea cluster reaching production-readiness in August 2025, and also shows it can integrate emerging HPC silicon—including liquid-cooled Open Compute platforms built around NextSilicon accelerator tech for national-lab style work—under one validated architecture scope.

Under the hood, this is a multimodal itinerary search problem: you model routes and schedules as a graph, apply fare rules and availability constraints, then run a combinatorial optimizer to surface chains (direct, one-way, multi-city, or hop-around loops). Tryp.com describes monitoring on the order of ~80M transport options across air/rail/bus, then ranking combinations by price, travel time, and user constraints. The key UX trick is flexibility: search anywhere/anytime, or constrain by a date range and trip length (like “under a week”) and let the engine enumerate a route set.

Once a trip is selected, Tryp.com shows a cost breakdown for transport and accommodation, plus filters to keep the stay type aligned with your preferences (e.g., hotels vs hostels, or apartments via large OTA partners like Booking.com rather than direct Airbnb inventory). In the interview filmed at Web Summit Lisbon 2025, Andre also highlights the operational layer: booking flow, optional hotel add-ons, and getting boarding passes into email and the app, including automated check-in on supported flights, so travel day becomes mostly execution and that stabilizes the workflow.

Business-wise it’s positioned as free-to-use for travelers, with monetization coming from partner economics (affiliate/commission mechanics) while aiming to keep pricing competitive, and the company was reported to have raised €3.1m in early 2025 to scale. The team is distributed across Denmark and multiple EU hubs, which fits the product’s focus on European low-cost carriers plus cross-border rail, where “the best route” is often a data problem, not a destination problem.

NextSilicon is pitching a computing stack that tries to keep legacy HPC code relevant while pushing more work into a dedicated accelerator, instead of forcing every team to rewrite kernels for a new API. In this interview, Dan (principal engineer) frames the goal as “seamless acceleration”: take existing C/C++/Fortran, recompile with a thin LLVM-based toolchain wrapper, and let the compiler carve out regions that map onto the device. https://www.nextsilicon.com/

Product one is Arbel, a high-performance RISC-V CPU core taped out on TSMC 5 nm, positioned as the latency-focused counterpart to the accelerator. The design emphasis is classic out-of-order speculation and high IPC: a very wide front end (10-wide decode is called out), deep instruction windows, and aggressive scheduling to shrink the serial portion of real code at runtime.

Product two is the Maverick dataflow accelerator, where parallel work is represented as a dataflow graph and “projected” onto hardware to build pipelines and duplicate projections for more throughput. The booth signage mentions figures like 20× over CPU and 4× over GPU, but the deeper point is the compilation path: no wholesale rewrite, just recompilation and automatic graph mapping to the device graph.

The hardware story matters too: Gen1 is already deployed for evaluation in several national labs, and Gen2 expands into both single-die PCIe cards (roughly 350 W class) and a higher-power dual-die module coupled with HBM, linked die-to-die to behave like a larger logical device. Partners shown include rack-scale systems and OAM-style platforms (with names like HP, Dell, and Penguin Computing) that attach multiple cards behind one host CPU in a standard server footprint card.

A useful lens here is Amdahl’s law: even “perfect” accelerators stall on the stubborn serial fraction, so pairing a strong CPU core with a throughput machine can raise the ceiling without pretending everything is embarrassingly parallel. Filmed on the SC25 Supercomputing show floor in St. Louis, the conversation lands on developer ergonomics for MPI/OpenMP teams, vectorized kernels, and long-lived codebases that want more FLOP/W without starting from zero in a new programming model there.
