In the rapidly evolving landscape of data centers, optimizing energy consumption has become a critical focus. In this blog post, we'll delve into the intricacies of power consumption, exploring the economics of three key components: CPUs, GPUs, and AI accelerators, and how the implementation of proteanTecs power reduction solution transforms both power efficiency and computational capabilities... » read more

Early And Fine Virtual Binning

By Noam Brousard - 08 Sep, 2020 - Comments: 0

Not all chips are created equal, and this is viewed as both a blessing and a curse by semiconductor makers. On one hand, chips can be screened for certain attributes, and some of the chips can be sold for higher prices than others. On the other hand, variations in the production process cause silicon performance to greatly differ, leaving chip makers with a wide and somewhat unpredictable distr... » read more

Navigating Timing Margins Like Waze

Remember the pre-smartphone days, before navigation apps had our backs? Thanks to a lack of real-time visibility, ‘arriving early’ was the go-to strategy to avoid arriving late. Factor in too much ‘holdup time’ and you’d arrive a little too early. There’s nothing worse than nervously burning off an excess 30 minutes over a coffee you really didn’t need. Today you wouldn’t ... » read more

From Womb To Tomb: A Lifetime Of Chip Data In A Common Language

By Noam Brousard - 08 Oct, 2019 - Comments: 0

Every integrated circuit (IC) has a lifetime of stories to tell. From design through the end of a chip’s life, it can let us know what’s happening all along the way, providing we give it a voice and the language to do so. But until we can gain access to this data, the lives of these ICs remain secret. In-chip monitoring opens up those secrets. It helps to optimize performance, and it is esp... » read more
