FPGA vs ASIC for AI at the Edge: What factors influence your hardware choice?
As AI continues to move closer to edge devices, choosing the right hardware platform has become an important design decision. While both FPGAs and ASICs have their strengths, the best choice often depends on the application's requirements. Here are some of the key factors that engineering teams typically evaluate: Performance and latency requirements Power efficiency Development cost and NRE Time-to-market Production volume Need for future hardware updates FPGAs offer flexibility for rapid prototyping and evolving workloads, making them well-suited for early-stage development. ASICs, on the other hand, can provide significant advantages in performance, power consumption, and cost efficiency for high-volume production. I recently came across a technical article that explains these trade-offs in a structured way and found it useful as a reference: https://www.signoffsemiconductors.com/asic-vs-fpga/ I'd be interested to hear how others approach this decision. Have you migrated a design from FPGA to ASIC? What factors influenced your choice? Are there workloads where you would always choose one over the other?
what is the best way to connect device to cloud service
Hello everybody, I'm totally new the cloud computing services. I have the question, what is the best way to connect a hardware device to cloud service? Knowing that: 1- this device can connect over tcp ( if not possible, what should it can ?) 2- i need to receive the data sent from this device in webapi or tcp service on a VM to analyse and save those data. I was thinking about IOT hub but am not really sure if this is the correct solution to do that. Hope you can help me ... Thank you in advanced
DS-series, DSv2-series, FS-series VM
Hello, Premium disk page says this type of disk are supported only on DS-series, DSv2-series, FS-series VM . However I cannot find any such series VMs in Azure Compute pricing page or in Azure price calculator . Are these type of VMs still available ? Or the premium disk page is outdated ? Thanks
