Sebastian Luber, senior director of technology and innovation at Infineon Technologies, talks about the growing interest in quantum computers, what’s still missing to make this technology more relevant, and how to improve the lifespan and accuracy of qubits. » read more

Boosting Data Management System Performance
By Ed Sperling - 07 Sep, 2022 - Comments: 0

Marios Karatzias, application engineer at ClioSoft, talks with Semiconductor Engineering about the increasing use and re-use of IP in designs, how to best keep track of that IP, and how to optimize the performance of the data management system to deal with IP in heterogeneous chips. This is particularly important in automotive and industrial applications, where a specific version of IP may have... » read more

Co-Packaged Optics In The Data Center
By Ed Sperling - 08 Jun, 2022 - Comments: 0

Just because faster Ethernet is added to the data center doesn’t mean existing hardware can utilize it efficiently. Scott Durrant, strategic marketing manager at Synopsys, talks with Semiconductor Engineering about the rapid rollout of faster Ethernet rates, problems in moving data to the front module of the switch and how much energy is required, and what optical technology can bring to the ... » read more

The Ethernet Evolution
By Ed Sperling - 01 Mar, 2022 - Comments: 0

Ethernet was expected to be long gone by now, but predictions of its demise were decades premature. John Swanson, senior product marketing manager for high-performance computing digital IP at Synopsys, talks about how Ethernet has evolved over the past 45 or so years from a somewhat “boring” technology to one that is at the forefront of data center performance improvements, with more update... » read more

Always-On DSPs
By Ed Sperling - 28 Dec, 2021 - Comments: 0

There are tradeoffs between powering circuits down to save power and waking them up to respond to voice and visual commands. Prakash Madhvapathy, director of product marketing and product management at Cadence, talks about the best ways to deploy digital signal processors, why multiple DSPs are often better than just one, and what penalties there are for various approaches. » read more

Low-Power Always-On Circuits
By Ed Sperling - 27 Sep, 2021 - Comments: 0

Some circuits are always on. A smart phone wakes up when it senses a user, and a smart speaker responds to keywords. The challenge is to make sure these devices don’t consume a lot of power while the rest of a device is powered down, that it remains secure, and that it can quickly wake up whatever other functions are needed. All of this requires a significant amount of engineering work. Amol ... » read more

Problems In The Power Grid
By Ed Sperling - 22 Jun, 2021 - Comments: 1

The gap is widening between power availability and peak demand. Ritesh Tyagi, head of innovation and growth strategy at Infineon Technologies, talks about what needs to be done to fix the power grid, particularly as more cars are electrified and more electronic devices are mobile. While there currently is a surplus in power being generated on a macro level in the United States, for example, it�... » read more

Improving Power & Performance Beyond Scaling
By Ed Sperling - 16 Jun, 2021 - Comments: 0

Steven Woo, Rambus fellow and distinguished inventor, discusses architectural changes inside of servers and data centers to allow pooling of resources such as memory. That has a big impact on power efficiency and overall performance, but it also allows data centers to customize their architectures and prioritized resources with much more granularity than they can do today. » read more

Changes In Sensors And DSPs
By Ed Sperling - 14 Jun, 2021 - Comments: 0

Pulin Desai, group director for product marketing, management and business development at Cadence, talks about why processing is moving closer to the end point, how to save energy through reduced area and sensor fusion, and the impact of specialization, 3D capture and always-on circuits. » read more

Data Overload In The Data Center
By Ed Sperling - 25 Jan, 2021 - Comments: 0

Dealing with increasing volumes of data inside of data centers requires an understanding of architectures, the flow of data between memory and processors, bandwidth, cache coherency and new memory types and interfaces. Gary Ruggles, senior product marketing manager at Synopsys, talks about how these systems are being revamped to improve performance and reduce power. » read more
