Our Mission |
Ocius Technologies is dedicated to advancing the world’s problem-solving capabilities
through achieving the fastest and most efficient processing technology. |
Ocius Technologies, FIU and Case Western collaborated on the first "Analog-Digital Hybrid Computing Workshop" to continue to develop technology for the DARPA "Analog Co-Processors for Complex System Simulation and Design". The workshop was held in downtown Miami, FL, and attended by about 20 PhD students, faculty and industry personnel. They spent three days doing a deep dive on analog-RF CMOS computing chip design, hacking FPGA designs for RF DSP on ROACH-2 and Altera SoC, and demonstrating working systems based on the state-of-art Xilinx Zynq RF SoC ZCU1275 (photos below by Najath Akram)
