AI Inference on an FPGA
I spoke at the TechWorks FPGA Frontrunners meeting in Wotton-under-Edge earlier this week. It was an opportunity to present some joint work between Embecosm and Southampton University, showing how the OneAPI Construction Kit can help bring up a portable AI platform. Each autumn Embecosm supervises a group of Southampton University MSc students on a project […]

FOSDEM 2025: A cornucopia of open source engineering
I spent last weekend, with my colleague, William Jones at FOSDEM in Brussels. This is an annual pilgrimage for me, to mix with working open source engineers and here all that is new. I was also a speaker, sharing some of my own work on compiler development. For me the most significant devroom was Low […]

Work Experience – Dynamic Causal Modeling
What we wanted to Achieve: Throughout my two week work experience placement at Embecosm, I worked on a project to create a dynamical system of a double pendulum. A dynamical system, meaning a system containing objects that are continuously effected by active forces caused as a result of various interacting objects. The system that was […]

Forget ARIMA – Going Bayesian with Time Series Analysis
At Embecosm, we have recently been taking an interest in time series modelling in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic and, in particular, the application of Bayesian methods to these problems. In this blog post, we want to backtrack a bit and talk discuss how the Bayesian approach can fit into time series analysis in […]

Executive Summary The problem facing the AI industry today is that many of the functions at the heart of machine learning processes were written over forty years ago when computer hardware and compiler technology were very different. Our library, Doctor Syn, addresses this problem by using the three technologies of SIMD, multithreading and autovectorisation. We […]
