GDDR6 Memory Enables High-Performance AI/ML Inference


A rapid rise in the size and sophistication of inference models has necessitated increasingly powerful hardware deployed at the network edge and in endpoint devices. To keep these inference processors and accelerators fed with data requires a state-of-the-art memory that delivers extremely high bandwidth. This blog will explore how GDDR6 supports the memory and performance requirements of artif... » read more

Solving Thermal Coupling Issues In Complex Chips


Rising chip and packaging complexity is causing a proportionate increase in thermal couplings, which can reduce performance, shorten the lifespan of chips, and impact overall reliability of chips and systems. Thermal coupling is essentially a junction between two devices, such as a chip and a package, or a transistor and a substrate, in which heat is transferred from one to the other. If not... » read more

EDPS: Transitioning From 5G To 6G


At the recent EDPS, the keynote on the second day was by Mallik Tatipamula. He is the CTO of Ericsson Silicon Valley and also has experience all over the telecom industry with stints at F5, Juniper Networks, Cisco, Motorola, Nortel, and the Indian Institute of Technology Madras. Mallik started with a potted history of mobile. You may already know all this, and I've covered my version ... » read more

An Update On 5G And Aircraft Safety


The U.S. aircraft industry is in the final phases of adapting aircraft and airports to address concerns over potential 5G cellular signal interference of automated landing systems. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has driven the process to determine the level of risk to aircraft and safeguard against problems for low-visibility approaches — such as during inclement weather — for ne... » read more

Developers Embrace Standards To Accelerate Growth Opportunities For The IoT


By the end of the decade, the potential economic value of the Internet of Things (IoT) is expected to reach $12.6 trillion (yes, that’s a ‘t,’ not a typo), according to a McKinsey study. To achieve the scale required to meet this opportunity, critical IoT standards are coming together to enable the frictionless deployment of secure endpoint-to-cloud solutions – and being embraced by th... » read more

Balancing Power And Heat In Advanced Chip Designs


Power and heat use to be someone else's problem. That's no longer the case, and the issues are spreading as more designs migrate to more advanced process nodes and different types of advanced packaging. There are a number of reasons for this shift. To begin with, there are shrinking wire diameters, thinner dielectrics, and thinner substrates. The scaling of wires requires more energy to driv... » read more

Complete Reliability Verification For Multiple-Power-Domain Designs


With increasing design complexity and a heightened focus on reliability at all levels of integrated circuit (IC) design from intellectual property (IP) to full-chip, accurate and full verification coverage of the different reliability concerns within an IC design is essential. Designs containing multiple power domains add more complexity to reliability verification with the need to validate int... » read more

Enabling Accurate Electronic-Photonic Co-Design with a Synergetic Workflow on GlobalFoundries Fotonix Platform


Massive growth in research, development, and applications of CMOS-compatible integrated photonics in recent years, along with its expected potential for the years to come, has sparked an ever-increasing demand from designers for seamless and all-inclusive design automation solutions that can enable electronic-photonic co-design while being accurate and easy to use. Here, we demonstrate an end-t... » read more

Innovate By Customized Instructions, But Without Fragmenting The Ecosystem


This white paper reviews the design considerations for SoC designers when they deploy their hardware accelerators, and how software developers access the accelerators implemented using Arm Custom Instructions. Click here to read more. » read more

Unleash The Potential of CFD


Classic CFD to High-Order Scalability Instead of relying on expensive prototype testing or experimentation, users now have access to numerous open-source and paid computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software that can help them solve application-specific problems. Today, CFD is no longer about getting one solution at a time; it is about getting the best possible solution from multiple design tes... » read more
