Startup Funding: May 2023
By Jesse Allen - 07 Jun, 2023 - Comments: 0

Photonic interconnects were an area of activity in May, with two companies raising funds for what could be much faster chip-to-chip and chiplet-to-chiplet links. Microstructured optics and metasurfaces also drew investment, with four companies creating products for a range of applications from flexible LEDs to multi-wavelength spectral imaging. The large language models that power many gener... » read more

Arm SystemReady Certification System Requirements Specification v2.1
By Arm - 07 Jun, 2023 - Comments: 0

Systems that are designed to “just work” for the end user (with the ability to install and run generic off-the-shelf operating systems out-of-the-box) need to follow a set of minimum hardware and firmware requirements to ensure compatibility. For hardware, the Arm SystemReady Program defines a common Base System Architecture (BSA) specification and a set of market-specific supplements. F... » read more

Improving memristors Researchers at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) have demonstrated a reliable Interface-type (IT) memristive device (memristor) that shows promise as a technique for building artificial synapses in neuromorphic computing. The team made its memristor — a component that which combines memory and programming functions — using a simple Au/Nb-doped SrTiO3 (Nb:STO) Sc... » read more

DNA-based molecular computing Researchers at the University of Minnesota proposed a new method of biocomputing. Trumpet, or Transcriptional RNA Universal Multi-Purpose GatE PlaTform, uses biological enzymes as catalysts for DNA-based molecular computing. Researchers performed logic gate operations in test tubes using DNA molecules. A positive gate connection resulted in a phosphorescent glo... » read more

Achieving Consistent RTL Power Accuracy
By Synopsys - 23 May, 2023 - Comments: 0

Are you struggling to accurately estimate RTL power consumption early in your design process? RTL power estimation can be inaccurate due to the complexity of the designs, the various power domains, and the use of multiple tools in the design process. Designers can make effective power-performance-area tradeoffs early by using a holistic methodology that includes both architectural and micro-arc... » read more

Week In Review: Design, Low Power

Germanium-tin transistor Scientists at Forschungszentrum Jülich, CEA-Leti, University of Leeds, Leibniz Institute for High Performance Microelectronics, and RWTH Aachen University fabricated a new type of transistor from a germanium-tin alloy. Charge carriers can move faster in the material than in silicon or germanium, which enables lower voltages in operation. “The germanium–tin syst... » read more

GDDR6 Delivers The Performance For AI/ML Inference
By Frank Ferro - 15 May, 2023 - Comments: 0

AI/ML is evolving at a lightning pace. Not a week goes by right now without some new and exciting developments in the field, and applications like ChatGPT have brought generative AI capabilities firmly to the forefront of public attention. AI/ML is really two applications: training and inference. Each relies on memory performance, and each has a unique set of requirements that drive the choi... » read more
