Research Bits: April 8
By Jesse Allen - 08 Apr, 2024 - Comments: 0

Annealing processor Researchers from the Tokyo University of Science designed a scalable, fully-coupled annealing processor with 4096 spins on a single board with 36 CMOS chips, with parallelized capabilities for accelerated solving of combinatorial optimization problems. "We want to achieve advanced information processing directly at the edge, rather than in the cloud, or performing prepro... » read more

Low-Overhead Fault-Tolerant Quantum Memory (IBM)
By Technical Paper Link - 07 Apr, 2024 - Comments: 0

A new technical paper titled "High-threshold and low-overhead fault-tolerant quantum memory" was published by researchers at IBM Quantum. Abstract "The accumulation of physical errors prevents the execution of large-scale algorithms in current quantum computers. Quantum error correction promises a solution by encoding k logical qubits onto a larger number n of physical qubits, such t... » read more

Scalable Verification of Memory Consistency (Purdue University)
By Technical Paper Link - 06 Apr, 2024 - Comments: 0

A new technical paper titled "QED: Scalable Verification of Hardware Memory Consistency" was published by researchers at Purdue University. Abstract "Memory consistency model (MCM) issues in out-of-order-issue microprocessor-based shared-memory systems are notoriously non-intuitive and a source of hardware design bugs. Prior hardware verification work is limited to in-order-issue processors... » read more

Chip Industry Week In Review
By The SE Staff - 05 Apr, 2024 - Comments: 0

By Jesse Allen, Gregory Haley, and Liz Allan. The Japanese government approved $3.9 billion in funding for chipmaker Rapidus to expand its foundry business, of which 10% will be invested in advanced packaging. This is in addition to the previously announced $2.18 billion in funding. In a meeting next week, the U.S. and Japan are expected to cooperate on increasing semiconductor development a... » read more

Integrating ADAS/IVI SoCs Using Automotive IP
By Ron DiGiuseppe - 04 Apr, 2024 - Comments: 0

The automotive industry continues to evolve the centralized electrical/electronic (EE) architecture, impacting automakers, and Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers, as they implement various applications over the next 10 years. The new architecture is structured around a centralized compute module which executes multiple applications such as Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS)/highly automated dri... » read more

Quantum Computing Challenged By Security, Error Correction
By Karen Heyman - 04 Apr, 2024 - Comments: 0

The number and volume of warnings about a post-quantum cryptography (PQC) world are rising, as governments, banks, and other entities prepare for a rash of compromised data and untrustworthy digital signatures. Exactly when this will become a genuine threat is still somewhat fuzzy, because it depends on progress in developing robust qubits. A report by McKinsey & Co. estimates that by 20... » read more

Early Cycle Analysis And Verification Of Logical SEU Mitigation
By Jake Wiltgen - 04 Apr, 2024 - Comments: 0

The global appetite for data continues to soar, driving innovation across all industry sectors, including how space-based technology can facilitate a more connected world. Miniaturized satellites configured into constellations offer faster communication and higher bandwidth than lone satellites flying higher in geocentric or high-earth orbits. However, industry analysis suggests that to make... » read more

Data Center Security Issues Widen
By Adam Kovac - 04 Apr, 2024 - Comments: 0

The total amount of data will swell to about 200 zettabytes of data next year, much of it stored in massive data centers scattered across the globe that are increasingly vulnerable to attacks of all sorts. The stakes for securing data have been rising steadily as the value of that data increases, making it far more attractive to hackers. This is evident in the scope of the attack targets —... » read more

Why Semiconductor Security Is More Important Than Ever in 2024
By Andreas Kuehlmann - 04 Apr, 2024 - Comments: 0

When I think about the state of semiconductor security today compared to when I joined Cycuity in 2020, I can safely say that chip security conversations are now taking place with greater frequency and urgency. Over the past year, I observed three trends that I expect will continue and accelerate in 2024: Continued occurrence of new and increasingly sophisticated cyber incidents Emergen... » read more
