Liz: Here’s a guest post from our friend Paul at Pimoroni , who has a really exciting Kickstarter to share. You know Paul’s work already: he designed the Raspberry Pi logo, and he’s the brain behind the ridiculously successful Pibow case. Over to Paul! When I was in nursery school, our class had a BBC Micro.

What you’re about to watch in the video below is a magnificently physical example of machine learning. Adam Vaughan is controlling an engine with an adaptive Extreme Learning Machine algorithm on his Pi, which predicts homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI – if you’re a petrolhead, you won’t have to look that up on Wikipedia like I did to discover that it’s a spark-free way of combusting fuel by putting it under pressure until it goes bang) in real time.

Since Broadcom released complete documentation for the VideoCore IV GPU back in February 2014 we’ve seen a number of fun uses of our 24GFLOPs of QPU compute, from Andrew Holme’s FFT library to Pete Warden’s deep learning experiments. It’s not unusual to see a 10x increase in performance over the ARM for algorithms with a decent amount of parallelism. A platform is only as good as its development tools, so it’s a great start to the New Year to see a new QPU macro assembler from Marcel Müller

Hands-On With The Creator Ci20, Imagination's MIPS-Based Raspberry Pi … Tom’s Hardware The Raspberry Pi , a developer board based on the Broadcom BCM2835 SoC, quickly turned into a phenomenon after it was launched. Its ARM11 CPU (based on the ARMv6 instruction set) running at 700 MHz, VideoCore IV GPU running at 250 MHz (which

As I type this, Emma is hugging herself and shouting “LOOK AT THE LOVELY BABY!” We believe that every office environment is enriched by biologists. The little guy/gal in the video above is a Tuatara – and I didn’t have to go to Wikipedia to learn more about them, because Emma is amazingly well-versed in New Zealand’s endemic lizards. One of her friends works in conserving Tuataras, which are endangered, in New Zealand.

A month or so ago, I had an email from a Dr Lucy Rogers, who wanted to talk about human-sized animatronic dinosaurs. Animatronic dinosaurs are much more interesting that what I normally get to talk about on a Monday morning, and we’ve been in touch since then, the culmination of our dinosaur conversation being the video below.
