Chiplet-to-Chiplet Gateway Architecture, A C2C Interface Bridging Two Chiplet Protocols (Peter Grünberg, Jülich Supercomputing Centre)


A new technical paper titled "Modeling Chiplet-to-Chiplet (C2C) Communication for Chiplet-based Co-Design" was published by researchers at Peter Grünberg Institute and Jülich Supercomputing Centre. Abstract "Chiplet-based processor design, which combines small dies called chiplets to form a larger chip, enables scalable designs at economical costs. This trend has received high attention s... » read more

Blog Review: May 28


Siemens’ Patrick Hope considers how to fully perform post-route signal integrity verification on PCB designs while maintaining the project’s timeline by implementing a progressive verification methodology that enables signal integrity experts to focus on issues that demand their expertise rather than simple errors. Cadence’s Vanessa Do checks out how CXL addresses the constant demand f... » read more

Blog Review: May 21


Synopsys’ Frank Malloy listens in on a panel discussing the engineering challenges introduced by multi-die designs, from multi-physics interactions that impact power and thermal integrity to the availability of multi-die packages and industry standards. Siemens’ Bruce Caryl shows how to determine how much a design’s power delivery network is contributing to jitter on the output drivers... » read more

Chip Industry Week in Review


Check out the Inside Chips podcast for our behind-the-scenes analysis. Newly proposed U.S. legislation called the Chip Security Act would use location verification tracking as a tool to help combat chip smuggling. This follows a report by the Economist that showed Taiwan exports of advanced chips to Malaysia in the first quarter has nearly reached 2024 totals, heightening concerns that China... » read more

Deploying PyTorch Models On Edge Devices


AI is being rapidly adopted in edge computing. As a result, it is increasingly important to deploy machine learning models on Arm edge devices. Arm-based processors are common in embedded systems because of their low power consumption and efficiency. This tutorial shows you how to deploy PyTorch models on Arm edge devices, such as the Raspberry Pi or NVIDIA Jetson Nano. Prerequisites Before y... » read more

Die-to-die Interconnect Standards In Flux


UCIe, a standard for die-to-die interconnect in advanced packages, has drawn concern about being too heavyweight with its 2.0 release. But the fact that many of the new features are optional seems to have been lost in much of the public discussion. In fact, new capabilities that support a possible future chiplet marketplace are not required for designs that don’t target that marketplace. ... » read more

AI Accelerators Moving Out From Data Centers


Experts At The Table: The explosion in AI data is driving chipmakers to look beyond a single planar SoC. Semiconductor Engineering sat down to discuss the need for more computing and the expanding role of chiplets with Marc Meunier, director of ecosystem development at Arm; Jason Lawley, director of product marketing for AI IP at Cadence; Paul Karazuba, vice president of marketing at Expedera; ... » read more
