AI’s Rapid Growth: The Crucial Role Of High Bandwidth Memory
By Subash Peddu - 27 Feb, 2025 - Comments: 0

System efficiency is dictated by the performance of crucial components. For AI hardware systems, memory subsystem performance is the single most crucial component. In this blog post, we will provide an overview of the AI model landscape and the impact of HBM memory subsystems on effective system performance. AI models have grown from a few billions of parameters from the early '90s to today�... » read more

Fast Monte Carlo Simulations For Timing Variation Analysis
By Vinod Khera - 30 Jan, 2025 - Comments: 0

Process variations and device mismatches profoundly affect the latest ultra-small geometrical processes. Complexity creates additional factors that impact device manufacturing variability, which in turn impact overall yield. Monte Carlo (MC) simulations use repeated random sampling to relate process variations to circuit performance and functionality, thus determining how they impact yield. How... » read more

Introduction Of High Bandwidth Embedded USB2v2 (eUSB2v2) Standard
By Sanjeet Kumar - 19 Dec, 2024 - Comments: 0

Universal Serial Bus (USB) technology is the most popular connector in every computing device, but when it comes to embedded applications, where only a specific device function may be required, the architectural philosophy of the USB technology becomes inefficient. One example could be USB cameras. With increasing user expectations of camera resolution and frame rates, the bandwidth constrai... » read more
