Research Bits: Mar. 19
By Jesse Allen - 19 Mar, 2024 - Comments: 0

Superconducting loops Researchers from University of California San Diego and University of California Riverside propose using superconducting loops to store and transmit information in a method similar to the human brain. “Our brains have this remarkable gift of associative memory, which we don't really understand,” said Robert C. Dynes, professor of physics at UC San Diego and preside... » read more

Optimizing Energy At The System Level
By Brian Bailey - 18 Mar, 2024 - Comments: 0

Power is a ubiquitous concern, and it is impossible to optimize a system's energy consumption without considering the system as a whole. Tremendous strides have been made in the optimization of a hardware implementation, but that is no longer enough. The complete system must be optimized. There are far reaching implications to this, some of which are driving the path toward domain-specific c... » read more

Current And Future Challenges For An Open Chiplet Ecosystem
By Andy Heinig - 14 Mar, 2024 - Comments: 0

There are currently a variety of ways to approach chiplet systems. One is to have a closed system in which a manufacturer develops all the components in-house and is also in charge of commissioning and overseeing assembly. In this scenario, everything is coordinated within that company and no standards are required. Another is to establish open chiplet systems. This approach taps a considera... » read more

The City In The Tower: 3D ICs Transform The Electronics System Landscape
By Keith Felton - 14 Mar, 2024 - Comments: 0

By Keith Felton and Todd Burkholder The time of 3D integrated circuits (3D ICs) is here, and they will revolutionize the semiconductor industry and effect a watershed in the nature of electronics products that can be designed and manufactured. Yet again—as with personal computers, the internet, and smart phones—our increasingly digital world will never be the same. 3D IC architectures... » read more

Verifying Hardware Security With RTL Simulation
By Taruna Reddy - 14 Mar, 2024 - Comments: 0

When consumers think about security for their electronic gadgets, financial applications probably spring first to mind. Identity theft and unauthorized access to bank and investment accounts are a constant threat. But there’s more to worry about every day. Stories of webcams and smart speakers being hacked are all over the web. Users rightfully demand that device manufacturers provide a high ... » read more

Deployment Of MIPI In Ultra-Low-Power Streaming Sensors
By Mahmoud ElBanna - 14 Mar, 2024 - Comments: 0

By Mahmoud ElBanna and Brian Lenkowski Streams of data from higher-speed sensors pose throughput and latency challenges for designers. However, optimizing a design for those criteria can come at the expense of increased power consumption if not conceived and executed carefully. A device like a high-resolution, high-frame-rate home security camera in a non-wired application requiring frequent... » read more

Embrace The New!
By Steve Roddy - 14 Mar, 2024 - Comments: 0

The ResNet family of machine learning algorithms was introduced to the AI world in 2015. A slew of variations was rapidly discovered that at the time pushed the accuracy of ResNets close to the 80% threshold (78.57% Top 1 accuracy for ResNet-152 on ImageNet). This state-of-the-art performance at the time, coupled with the rather simple operator structure that was readily amenable to hardware ac... » read more

Generative AI has upped the ante on the transformative force of AI, driving profound implications across all aspects of our everyday lives. Over the past year, we have seen AI capabilities placed firmly in the hands of consumers. The recent news and product announcements emerging from MWC 2024 highlighted what we can expect to see from the next wave of generative AI applications. AI will be eve... » read more

Quantum Computing: Top 5 Questions Answered
By Jenn Mullen - 14 Mar, 2024 - Comments: 0

At one time, quantum computing was a theoretical conversation restricted to the halls of academia and the imaginations of science fiction visionaries. As breakthroughs in this emerging technology space accelerate, attention and investment are gaining momentum from commercial, governmental, and industrial sectors. The emerging quantum computing use cases are generating substantial buzz—and q... » read more

Backside Power Delivery Adds New Thermal Concerns
By Karen Heyman - 14 Mar, 2024 - Comments: 0

As the semiconductor industry gears up for backside power delivery at the 2nm node, implementation of the technology requires a re-thinking of established design practices. While some EDA tools are already qualified, designers must acquaint themselves with new issues, including making place-and-route more thermal-aware and how to manage heat dissipation with less shielding and thinner substr... » read more
