Blog Review: Dec. 20
By Jesse Allen - 20 Dec, 2023 - Comments: 0

Siemens' Huw Geddes finds that the flexibility offered by the RISC-V ISA can introduce further verification and validation requirements to ensure that the combination of extensions and customization not just works but does not break anything else while delivering expected performance, plus looks at how processor trace can help. Cadence's Gustavo Araujo explains the various optimizations in t... » read more

Proprietary Vs. Commercial Chiplets
By Ed Sperling - 19 Dec, 2023 - Comments: 0

Large chipmakers are focusing on chiplets as the best path forward for integrating more functions into electronic devices. The challenge now is how to pull the rest of the chip industry along, creating a marketplace for third-party chiplets that can be chosen from a menu using specific criteria that can speed time to market, help to control costs, and behave as reliably as chiplets developed in... » read more

Data Formats For Inference On The Edge
By Brian Bailey - 14 Dec, 2023 - Comments: 0

AI/ML training traditionally has been performed using floating point data formats, primarily because that is what was available. But this usually isn't a viable option for inference on the edge, where more compact data formats are needed to reduce area and power. Compact data formats use less space, which is important in edge devices, but the bigger concern is the power needed to move around... » read more

Security Becoming Core Part Of Chip Design — Finally
By Ann Mutschler - 07 Dec, 2023 - Comments: 1

Security is shifting both left and right in the design flow as chipmakers wrestle with how to build devices that are both secure by design and resilient enough to remain secure throughout their lifetimes. As increasingly complex devices are connected to the internet and to each other, IP vendors, chipmakers, and systems companies are racing to address existing and potential threats across a ... » read more

Auto Network Speeds Rise As Carmakers Prep For Autonomy
By John Koon - 07 Dec, 2023 - Comments: 0

In-vehicle networks are starting to migrate from domain architectures to zonal architectures, an approach that will simplify and speed up communication in a vehicle using fewer protocols, less wiring, and ultimately lower cost. Zonal architectures will partition vehicles into zones that are more manageable and flexible, but getting there will take time. There is so much legacy technology in ... » read more

Blog Review: Dec. 6

Cadence's Vinod Khera checks out potential implications of generative AI for EDA, including how it could increase the learning rate of students and reduce the rising verification cost. Synopsys' Kiran Vittal considers the driving factors behind RISC-V's growth and why it is becoming increasingly important for applications ranging from automotive to 5G mobile, AI, and data centers. Siemens... » read more

Chip Industry Week In Review
By The SE Staff - 01 Dec, 2023 - Comments: 0

By Susan Rambo, Gregory Haley, and Liz Allan Amkor plans to invest about $2 billion in a new advanced packaging and test facility in Peoria, Arizona. When finished, it will employ about 2,000 people and will be the largest outsourced advanced packaging facility in the U.S. The first phase of the construction is expected to be completed and operational within two to three years. Synopsys p... » read more

Blog Review: November 29
By Jesse Allen - 29 Nov, 2023 - Comments: 0

Siemens' Matt Walsh checks out electro-thermal design and how a Boundary Condition Independent Reduced Order Model (BCI-ROM) can capture accurate characteristics from a 3D thermal analysis, ready for use in a 1D circuit simulation. Cadence's Vinod Khera considers how EDA could benefit from the AI revolution by providing a productivity boost through virtual assistants and improving code quali... » read more
