The crypto winter arrived but a lot continues to happen in the cryptocurrency industry. Stephen and Shahin cover the current state of things, from some of the causes of significant failures, to Bitcoin’s recent rise, new developments in Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDC), and self-sovereign identity (SSI) and Soul-Bound Tokens (SBT).
The OrionX Download podcast is back with a new episode on the latest in Fintech and Crypto with Shahin Khan and Stephen Perrenod. From Stephen’s newly released CryptoSuper500 report to the latest on CBDCs, NFTs, DeFi, and regulations, the team offers the same realistic perspective and analysis that have made previous episodes so popular.
Which coins actually use the “Proof of Work” algorithms, the “mining” process, and how do they rank? Why CBDCs, why not just stablecoins? What are NFTs, what is real? Stephen Perrenod and Shahin Khan discuss these topics and a few more FUD items left-over from the last podcast. Join in!
TOP500 at SC21 was highly anticipated but failed to ignite. Rumored high-end systems opted not to play while entering the conversation anyway. However, the list is about more than the TOP10 or whether there are systems that should be there and those that should not. Looking at the whole list, we saw a few surprises.
Welcome to the @HPCpodcast where Shahin Khan and Doug Black discuss supercomputing technologies and the applications, markets, and policies that shape them. In this inaugural episode we cover HPC and AI chips and accelerators, startups, and unicorns, topics that are sure to reappear frequently.
There is recurring “Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt” leveled at Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in general. Steve Perrenod and Shahin Khan go over the list to demystify. On the menu: intrinsic value, energy usage, slow transactions, China, etc.
What’s behind Bitcoin’s recent price hike? Shahin Khan and Steve Perrenod look at the Cryptocurrency market and its history over the past decade. They run through and explain the major new concepts that were introduced and take stock of their progress.
In this era of “Too Much Data”, it is imperative to understand and have a plan for Edge Computing. We discuss it all with Bill Walker, CTO of Edge Computing pioneer Tensor Networks.
Mark Himelstein, CTO of RISC-V joins us to discuss what we think will be a very important part of the information technology landscape. RISC-V has cracked the code on taking an open source community approach to chip design. We can expect to see it everywhere from embedded IoT, to communication fabrics, storage, AI, HPC, accelerators, and more.
Probably one of the best discussions anywhere about what 5G is and why it is a big deal. Shahin Khan and guest Walt Maclay, president of Voler Systems go over what 5G technology promises: speed, low latency, high density in terms of number of devices per square kilometer, better precision for positioning and location tracking, low power, high coverage, and significant back-end efficiencies, including new classes of services.
