Memory On Logic: The Good And Bad
By Brian Bailey - 11 Apr, 2024 - Comments: 0

The chip industry is progressing rapidly toward 3D-ICs, but a simpler step has been shown to provide gains equivalent to a whole node advancement — extracting distributed memories and placing them on top of logic. Memory on logic significantly reduces the distance between logic and directly associated memory. This can increase performance by 22% and reduce power by 36%, according to one re... » read more

Using AI/ML To Minimize IR Drop
By Ann Mutschler - 11 Apr, 2024 - Comments: 1

IR drop is becoming a much bigger problem as technology nodes scale and more components are packed into advanced packages. This is partly a result of physics, but it's also the result of how the design flow is structured. In most cases, AI/ML can help. The underlying problem is that moving to advanced process nodes, and now 3D-ICs, is driving current densities higher, while the power envelop... » read more

Developing and manufacturing such electronic systems today requires glo... » read more

Linear Drive Optics May Reduce Data Latency
By Karen Heyman - 11 Apr, 2024 - Comments: 0

Optical and electrical are starting to cross paths at a much deeper level, particularly with the growing focus on 3D-ICs and AI/ML training in data centers, driving changes both in how chips are designed and how these very different technologies are integrated together. At the root of this shift are the power and performance demands of AI/ML. It can now take several buildings of a data cente... » read more

How AI 2.0 Will Shape The Memory Landscape
By Emma-Jane Crozier - 11 Apr, 2024 - Comments: 0

AI is such a big part of our lives that we don’t even think about it as “AI”; it’s simply normal life these days. If you’ve asked your home assistant for the weather, used a search engine, or been recommended something to watch today, then that’s all been AI discretely at work. While these AI-enabled applications represent notable advancements in incorporating intelligence into syst... » read more

Integrating Energy Efficiency Considerations Into Your Design From The Beginning
By William Ruby - 11 Apr, 2024 - Comments: 0

Data center networking is responsible for consuming about 1% of the global electricity supply. With the advent and integration of AI into various sectors, the pressure on both hardware and software infrastructures, necessitated by neural networks and extensive language models, is expected to increase significantly. The burgeoning energy consumption by hyperscale data centers emerges as an ur... » read more

Running On Star Power
By Laura Carter - 11 Apr, 2024 - Comments: 0

What can generate four times more energy than a nuclear power plant and nearly four million times more energy than burning oil or coal? Fusion energy, according to the International Atomic Energy Agency. A fusion reaction happens as the result of a collision between two light atomic nuclei to form a heavier one. All of this occurs within plasma: a hot, charged gas of positive ions and free-mov... » read more

MIPI In Next Generation Of AI IoT Devices At The Edge
By Ashraf Takla - 11 Apr, 2024 - Comments: 0

The history of data processing begins in the 1960s with centralized on-site mainframes that later evolved into distributed client servers. In the beginning of this century, centralized cloud computing became attractive and began to gain momentum, becoming one of the most popular computing tools today. In recent years however, we have seen an increase in the demand for processing at the edge or ... » read more
