Power, Not Area: Why Edge GPU Design Is Entering A New Era


For decades, semiconductor progress followed a familiar playbook: shrink the node, pack in more logic, raise the clock, and performance would follow. That model held remarkably well, and possibly much longer than it should have. As the industry moves below 2nm, GPU design is running into a hard physical reality. The limiting factor is no longer how much logic we can fit on a die. It’s how ... » read more

Embarrassingly Parallel Problems: Definitions, Challenges And Solutions


One of the reasons GPUs are regularly discussed in the same breath as AI is that AI shares the same fundamental class of problems as 3D graphics. They are both embarrassingly parallel. Embarrassingly parallel problems refer to computational tasks that: Exhibit independence: Subtasks do not rely on intermediate results from other tasks. Require minimal interaction: Parallel task... » read more
