My Google Summer of Code (GSoC) project builds upon a previous joint project between Embecosm and Southampton University, which recently developed an open source AI/ML ISA extension for a RISC-V core. This project extended a CV32E40P RISC-V core… Read More
In a previous blog post, we announced that Embecosm will be hosting two projects for the 2021 Google Summer of Code (GSOC). You can read more about GSOC itself here, details of the application process for students here,… Read More
Introduction I have been exploring the capabilities of the Google Coral development board and working towards a functional face recognition implementation on the embedded device. In a previous blogpost, I discussed an overall view of how the… Read More
Introduction In this blog post we give an introduction to the topic of facial recognition and describe our approach to the problem introduced in the previous blog post. When deciding to implement facial recognition, FaceNet was the first thing… Read More
Introduction My name is Pietra Ferreira Tadeu Madio and I’m an AI Research Engineer working at Embecosm. During the summer I was able to start working full-time on my own AI-driven project. Artificial intelligence is typically associated with high power… Read More
Embecosm was registered as a Company ten years ago today on 25 April 2008. From our initial contract developing GDB for the Epiphany multicore processor, we have grown to developing full LLVM and GNU tool chains for some of the world's best known processors. Read More
The compiler tool chain is one of the largest and most complex components of any system, and increasingly will based on open source code, either GCC or LLVM. On a Linux system only the operating system kernel and browser will have more lines of code. For a commercial system, the compiler has to be completely reliable—whatever the source code, it should produce correct, high performance binaries. So how much does producing this large, complex and essential component cost? Thanks to open source not as much as you might think. In this post I provide a real world case study, which shows how bringing up a new commercially robust compiler tool chain need not be a huge effort. Read More
If you are a talented PhD student with an interest in compilers and security, we would love to hear from you. Embecosm provides services developing Free and Open Source (F/OSS) compilers for companies around the world. The architectures for… Read More
