Transforming AI Models For Accelerator Chips
By Ed Sperling - 17 May, 2022 - Comments: 0

AI is all about speeding up the movement and processing of data. Ali Cheraghi, solution architect at Flex Logix, talks about why floating point data needs to be converted into integer point data, how that impacts power and performance, and how different approaches in quantization play into this formula. » read more

Zero Dark Silicon
By Ed Sperling - 09 May, 2022 - Comments: 0

Planning for AI requires an understanding of how much data needs to be processed and how quickly that needs to happen. Nick Ni, senior director of data center AI and compute markets at AMD, talks with Semiconductor Engineering about data bubbles and domain-specific designs, why dark silicon is no longer as useful as in the past, and how to optimize power and performance in both the data center ... » read more

Using GPUs In Semiconductor Manufacturing
By Ed Sperling - 25 Apr, 2022 - Comments: 0

Massive simulation and curvilinear shapes are forcing the photomask industry to rethink what types of chips work best. Aki Fujimura, CEO of D2S, talks about what happens when shapes printed on a mask are closer to what actually gets printed, how GPUs can be used to accelerate CPUs in single instruction/multiple data (SIMD) operations, and why pixel data is different from other data. » read more

Speeding Up AI Algorithms
By Ed Sperling - 18 Apr, 2022 - Comments: 0

AI at the edge is very different than AI in the cloud. Salvador Alvarez, solution architect director at Flex Logix, talks about why a specialized inferencing chip with built-in programmability is more efficient and scalable than a general-purpose processor, why high-performance models are essential for getting accurate real-time results, and how low power and ambient temperatures can affect the... » read more

Better Video Compression
By Ed Sperling - 11 Apr, 2022 - Comments: 0

Video data is increasing, but bandwidth is not increasing quickly enough. One solution is to compress that data, but the challenge is to do that without impacting resolution. Rob Green, AMD’s senior manager for Pro AV, Broadcast & Consumer, talks about what’s changing in video compression, from new standards to better analytics, virtualization, what impact AR/VR will have, and a compari... » read more

Common Weakness Enumeration
By Ed Sperling - 06 Apr, 2022 - Comments: 0

Understanding potential design vulnerabilities up front can help prevent future cyberattacks. Jason Oberg, CTO at Tortuga Logic, talks with Semiconductor Engineering about why CWE is so important, when it needs to be considered, and why no hardware design is completely bulletproof. » read more

Moving Intelligence To The Edge
By Ed Sperling - 05 Apr, 2022 - Comments: 0

The buildout of the edge is driving a slew of new challenges and opportunities across the chip industry. Sailesh Chittipeddi, executive vice president at Renesas Electronics America, talks about the shift toward more AI-centric workloads rather than CPU-centric, why embedded computing is becoming the foundation of all intelligences, and the importance of software, security, and user experience ... » read more

Cataloging IP In The Enterprise
By Ed Sperling - 22 Mar, 2022 - Comments: 0

Many companies have no way of documenting where IP they license is actually used, which version of that IP is being utilized, and whether that license extends to other projects or even to their customers. Pedro Pires, applications engineer at ClioSoft, looks at how IP currently is cataloged, why it’s been so difficult to do this in the past, and how AI can be used to speed up and simplify thi... » read more

Next-Gen Transistors
By Ed Sperling - 07 Mar, 2022 - Comments: 0

Nanosheets, or more generally, gate-all-around FETs, mark the next big shift in transistor structures at the most advanced nodes. David Fried, vice president of computational products at Lam Research, talks with Semiconductor Engineering about the advantages of using these new transistor types, along with myriad challenges at future nodes, particularly in the area of metrology. » read more

Why Traceability Matters
By Ed Sperling - 02 Mar, 2022 - Comments: 0

More heterogeneous and increasingly dense chip designs make it much harder to stay on track with initial specifications. Paul Graykowski, senior technical marketing manager at Arteris IP, talks about matching requirements to the design, the impact of ECOs and other last-minute changes, and best practices for managing revisions. » read more
