Efficient Computer released Efficient Labs, a library of interactive, browser-based tools for engineers working with the Electron E1 general-purpose processor. The tools look for general friction of embedded development. It does not cross reference PDFs and datasheets, leaving the designer to open a board in the browser, click on a component, and see requirements.

All entries are judged using a 15-point rubric that assesses design excellence, relative performance, and market impact/disruption. Judging is managed by the ECD Content Team.

In this episode of Embedded Insiders, we’re joined by Carnegie Mellon professor and founder of Efficient Computer, Brandon Lucia. Brandon dives into his company's general-purpose processor, designed to deliver 100x more energy efficiency than any chip on the market today. He also shares insights from his academic work and the challenges impacting the next generation of engineers navigating today’s fast-evolving technological landscape.
