The Rising Price Of Power In Chips
More data requires faster processing, which leads to a whole bunch of problems — not all of which are obvious or even solvable.
The Future Of Memory
From attempts to resolve thermal and power issues to the roles of CXL and UCIe, the future holds a number of opportunities for memory.
SRAM Scaling Issues, And What Comes Next
While it will remain a workhorse memory, using SRAM at advanced nodes requires new approaches.
Architecting Chips For High-Performance Computing
Data center IC designs are evolving, based on workloads, but making the tradeoffs for those workloads is not always straightforward.
Backside Power Delivery Adds New Thermal Concerns
Lack of shielding, routing issues, and new mechanical stresses could have broad impact on standard cell design.
Glitch Power Issues Grow At Advanced Nodes
Problem is particularly acute in AI accelerators, and fixes require some complex tradeoffs.
Rethinking Memory
Von Neumann architecture is here to stay, but AI novel architectures and 3D structures create a need for new testing tools.
SRAM’s Role In Emerging Memories
Tools and optimizations are needed for SRAM to play a role in AI hardware; other memories make inroads.
