Gadget Book: Understanding Infrastructure Edge Computing
Written by Alex Marcham - who apparently coined the term 'infrastructure edge computing' - it's intended to provide an accessible view of the next generation of internet infrastructure.
Arduino aims at outdoor edge AI, in farming perhaps
Edge Control is an Arduino with designed to deploy AI at the edge in remote locations. “Optimised for outdoor environments and easy to place anywhere, it is ideal for precision farming, smart agriculture, and any application requiring intelligent control in isolated locations,” according to Arduino. It has a lot of interfaces (table below) can be expanded with 2G, 3G, CatM1, ...
10th Generation Intel Core processors on 3.5in sub-compact motherboard
Aaeon has created a 3.5in sub-compact LGA1200 socket motherboard for Intel 10th Generation (Comet Lake) Core i3, i5 and i7 processors, as well as Pentiums and Celerons. GENE-CML5 supports processors up to 4.4GHz and up to 64Gbyte of DDR4 memory delivering “fast processing speeds on par with desktop systems”, according to the Taiwanese company. “Additionally, the chipset allows the board ...
Arm-based edge IoT gateway
Taiwan-based Aaeon has introduced an edge IoT gateway built around an 800MHz Arm Cortex-A8 processor. Called SRG-3352, “this innovative processor reduces the energy requirements of the system, saving electricity costs and allowing the system to be deployed with solar power or battery operated. With very little heat output, the system can operate in a wide range of temperatures from 0°C ...
Fan-less industrial PC has fan-cooled GPU extension option for AI
OnLogic of Vermont is aiming at industrial IoT and edge computing with a series of fan-less compact PCs. Powered by Intel’s 10th generation Comet Lake processors, the Helix HX500 Series is 210 x 51 x 154mm and flexible on power requirements – accepting between 12 and 24V at 60W max continuously, or up to 120W peak. Operation at 8V is also ...
What is COM-HPC?
COM-HPC is a computer-on-module standard for high-performance embedded computing, following on from COM Express 3.0. PICMG COM-HPC technical subcommittee chairman Christian Eder, also marketing manager at Congatec, and MD of embedded computing firm Recab UK Martin Frederiksen have put together a Q&A to explain further. What are the main differences between COM-HPC and COM Express? Eder: Computer-on-modules based on the ...
