Expecting The Unexpected: Analyzing A Data Center Cooling Failure
By Mark Seymour - 15 Feb, 2024 - Comments: 0

Data center thermal management is often a reactive process. Servers issue warning messages, monitoring alarms activate, or employees express concern about general temperature levels/hotspots and then management decides what to do next. For incremental issues, once known, the necessary steps can be taken to resolve or improve these issues; however, what happens when a potential thermal issue onl... » read more

Multi-Chiplet Marvels: Exploring Chip-Centric Thermal Analysis
By Louis Tsai - 11 Jan, 2024 - Comments: 0

The relationship between power consumption and thermal dynamics for chips is intricate. As power is consumed during the operation of a chip, it results in the generation of heat. This heat may dissipate from the device, metal routing, or the die itself, leading to increased temperatures on the chip. The dissipation process perpetually expends redundant energy, thereby compromising on the overal... » read more

Decoding GDS To Thermal Model Conversion
By Jasmine Jasmine - 14 Dec, 2023 - Comments: 0

Driven by Moore’s Law and modern, ubiquitous computation power demand, the market will continue to demand higher chip performance. Therefore, modern chips with ever-higher power densities present critical thermal challenges. With the ever-shrinking design margins, designers must manage their thermal budget at every stage of the design, from chip to system. Now, let us shift left and start ... » read more

Reduce Data Center Over-Provisioning And Stranded Capacity For Sustainability
By Hassan Moezzi - 09 Nov, 2023 - Comments: 0

In the ever-evolving landscape of data centers, the issue of stranded capacity has become a significant concern for operators. Stranded capacity refers to the underutilization of resources. It is best referred to as the elephant in the data center due to the enormity of its impact. The losses are even more significant for the enterprise data center categories at above 40%. This outcome n... » read more

Understand The Physics Of Re-Entry Vehicles Using Numerical Modeling And Simulation
By Veena Parthan - 12 Oct, 2023 - Comments: 0

In the early years of space exploration, scientists and engineers dreamed of sending vehicles to Mars that could land on the planet's surface and explore its terrain. However, one of their biggest challenges was safely reentering the Martian atmosphere. Many early attempts at Mars missions failed because the vehicles either burned up during re-entry or crashed onto the surface. However, as tech... » read more

LLM Technology For Chip Design
By Steve Brown - 14 Sep, 2023 - Comments: 0

In the nine short months since OpenAI brought ChatGPT (a Chat Generative Pre-Trained Transformer) and the phenomenal concept of large language models (LLMs) to the global collective consciousness, pioneers from every corner of the economy have raced to understand the benefits—and the pitfalls—of deploying this nascent technology to their particular industry. And as it turns out, semicondu... » read more

Cleaning Marine Geometries Has Never Been Easier
By Veena Parthan - 10 Aug, 2023 - Comments: 0

Ship designers and naval architects increasingly use computational fluid dynamics (CFD) tools for more accurate solutions, detailed physics, and quicker results. Marine ship design studies in the past relied mainly on scaled-down models in towing tanks for insights into ship resistance, seakeeping, propulsion, and maneuvering. However, these models had discrepancies in their Reynolds and Fro... » read more
