Private Delegated Computations Using Strong Isolation
By Arm - 14 Feb, 2024 - Comments: 0

Computations are now routinely delegated to third-parties. In response, Confidential Computing technologies are being added to microprocessors offering a trusted execution environment (TEE) that provides confidentiality and integrity guarantees to code and data hosted within—even in the face of a privileged attacker. TEEs, along with an attestation protocol, permit remote third-parties to est... » read more

Navigating Heat In Advanced Packaging
By Gregory Haley - 18 Jan, 2024 - Comments: 0

The integration of multiple heterogeneous dies in a package is pivotal for extending Moore’s Law and enhancing performance, power efficiency, and functionality, but it also is raising significant issues over how to manage the thermal load. Advanced packaging provides a way to pack more features and functions into a device, increasingly by stacking various components vertically rather than ... » read more

Setting Standards For The Chip Industry
By Karen Heyman - 07 Sep, 2023 - Comments: 2

For all the advances in semiconductor design, and the astonishing scales on which the industry now works, when it comes to standards committee meetings, not much has changed. Advice from a 91-year-old retired engineer can sound surprisingly like advice from those active today. Standards were then, and continue to be, a mix of technical compromises and corporate politics, as well as passionate a... » read more

Why It’s So Difficult To Ensure System Safety Over Time
By Brian Bailey - 14 Aug, 2023 - Comments: 0

Safety is emerging as a concern across an increasing number of industries, but standards and methodologies are not in place to ensure electronic systems attain a defined level of safety over time. Much of this falls on the shoulders of the chip industry, which provides the underlying technology, and it raises questions about what more can be done to improve safety. A crude taxonomy recently ... » read more

Systematic Yield Issues Now Top Priority At Advanced Nodes
By Laura Peters - 06 Dec, 2022 - Comments: 0

Systematic yield issues are supplanting random defects as the dominant concern in semiconductor manufacturing at the most advanced process nodes, requiring more time, effort, and cost to achieve sufficient yield. Yield is the ultimate hush hush topic in semiconductor manufacturing, but it's also the most critical because it determines how many chips can be profitably sold. "At older nodes, b... » read more

MEMprop: Gradient-based Learning To Train Fully Memristive SNNs
By Technical Paper Link - 04 Jul, 2022 - Comments: 0

New technical paper titled "Gradient-based Neuromorphic Learning on Dynamical RRAM Arrays" from IEEE researchers. Abstract "We present MEMprop, the adoption of gradient-based learning to train fully memristive spiking neural networks (MSNNs). Our approach harnesses intrinsic device dynamics to trigger naturally arising voltage spikes. These spikes emitted by memristive dynamics are anal... » read more

Quantum Computers And CMOS Semiconductors: A Review And Future Predictions
By Michael Hargrove - 16 Jun, 2022 - Comments: 0

With the advent of quantum computing, the need for peripheral fault-tolerant logic control circuitry has reached new heights. In classical computation, the unit of information is a “1” or “0”. In quantum computers, the unit of information is a qubit which can be characterized as a “0”, “1”, or a superposition of both values (known as a “superimposed state”). The control c... » read more

Can Analog Make A Comeback?
By Brian Bailey - 09 Jun, 2022 - Comments: 3

We live in an analog world dominated by digital processing, but that could change. Domain specificity, and the desire for greater levels of optimization, may provide analog compute with some significant advantages — and the possibility of a comeback. For the last four decades, the advantages of digital scaling and flexibility have pushed the dividing line between analog and digital closer ... » read more
