Blog Review: March 18
By Jesse Allen - 18 Mar, 2020 - Comments: 0

Arm's Divya Prasad investigates whether power rails that are buried below the BEOL metal stack and back-side power delivery can help alleviate some of the major physical design challenges facing 3nm nodes and beyond. Rambus' Steven Woo takes a look at a Roofline model for analyzing machine learning applications that illustrates how AI applications perform on Google’s tensor processing unit... » read more

Designing Resilient Electronics
By Ann Mutschler - 18 Mar, 2020 - Comments: 0

Electronic systems in automobiles, airplanes and other industrial applications are becoming increasingly sophisticated and complex, required to perform an expanding list of functions while also becoming smaller and lighter. As a result, pressure is growing to design extremely high-performance chips with lower energy consumption and less sensitivity to harsh environmental conditions. If this ... » read more

HBM Issues In AI Systems
By Brian Bailey - 16 Mar, 2020 - Comments: 0

All systems face limitations, and as one limitation is removed, another is revealed that had remained hidden. It is highly likely that this game of Whac-A-Mole will play out in AI systems that employ high-bandwidth memory (HBM). Most systems are limited by memory bandwidth. Compute systems in general have maintained an increase in memory interface performance that barely matches the gains in... » read more

Power Management Becomes Top Issue Everywhere
By Ann Mutschler - 12 Mar, 2020 - Comments: 1

Power management is becoming a bigger challenge across a wide variety of applications, from consumer products such as televisions and set-top-boxes to large data centers, where the cost of cooling server racks to offset the impact of thermal dissipation can be enormous. Several years ago, low-power design was largely relegated to mobile devices that were dependent on a battery. Since then, i... » read more

5G Will Enable Cloud Gaming
By Steve Winburn - 12 Mar, 2020 - Comments: 0

5G stands to unlock opportunities throughout the Internet of things (IoT), from logistics to heavy industry, robotics to autonomous vehicles. Existing applications of cellular connectivity will find themselves enhanced significantly, while the lifting of traditional barriers to entry—speed, latency, network availability—will open up new applications and revenue streams that simply were... » read more

Power Challenges In ML Processors
By Brian Bailey - 12 Mar, 2020 - Comments: 0

The design of artificial intelligence (AI) chips or machine learning (ML) systems requires that designers and architects use every trick in the book and then learn some new ones if they are to be successful. Call it style, call it architecture, there are some designs that are just better than others. When it comes to power, there are plenty of ways that small changes can make large differences.... » read more

A Sneak Peek Into SVE And VLA Programming
By Arm - 11 Mar, 2020 - Comments: 0

Download this white paper to get an overview of SVE, get information on the new registers and the new instructions, and learn about the Vector Length Agnostic (VLA) programming technique, including some examples. The Scalable Vector Extension (SVE) is an extension of the ARMv8-A A64 instruction set, recently announced by ARM. Following the announcement at Hot Chips 28, a few articles describ... » read more

Blog Review: Mar. 11
By Jesse Allen - 11 Mar, 2020 - Comments: 0

Rambus' Steven Woo examines how the upcoming deployment of 5G will enable processing at the edge, and how the edge is getting refined further into the near edge and the far edge with a range of AI solutions across it. A Synopsys writer explains the types of Compute Express Link devices and CXL's unique verification challenges like maintaining the cache coherency between a host CPU and an acc... » read more

Taming Novel NVM Non-Determinism
By Bryon Moyer - 10 Mar, 2020 - Comments: 1

New memory technologies may have non-deterministic characteristics that add calibration to the test burden — and may require recalibration during their lifetime. Many of these memories are in development as a result of the search for a storage-class memory (SCM) technology that can bridge the gap between larger, slower memories like flash and faster DRAM memory. There are several approache... » read more

Week In Review: Auto, Security, Pervasive Computing
By Susan Rambo - 06 Mar, 2020 - Comments: 0

Pervasive computing — health An injectable biosensor may someday help measure signs of influenza. DARPA (the U.S. Department of Defense’s Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) and digital health startup Profusa announced a study that uses Profusa’s Lumee Oxygen Platform to find ways to identify flu outbreaks, biological attacks and pandemics as much as three weeks earlier than curre... » read more
