Rapidus and IBM are jointly developing mass production capabilities for chiplet-based advanced packages. The collaboration builds on an existing agreement to develop 2nm process technology. Vanguard and NXP will jointly establish VisionPower Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (VSMC) in Singapore to build a $7.8 billion, 12-inch wafer plant. This is part of a global supply chain shift “Out... » read more

The Uncertainty Of Certifying AI For Automotive

By Ann Mutschler - 06 Jun, 2024 - Comments: 1

Nearly every new vehicle sold uses AI to make some decisions, but so far there is no consistency in what is being developed, where it is being used, and whether it is compatible with other vehicles on the road. This fragmentation is partially due to the fact that AI is still a nascent technology, and cars and trucks sold today may be significantly different than those that will be sold sever... » read more

Toward A Software-Defined Hardware World

By Karen Heyman - 06 Jun, 2024 - Comments: 0

Software-defined hardware may be the ultimate Shift Left approach as chip design grows closer to true co-design than ever with potential capacity baked into the hardware, and greater functionality delivered over the air or via a software update. This marks another advance in the quest for lower power, one that’s so revolutionary that it’s upending traditional ideas about model-based systems... » read more

Accelerating Speed And Accuracy In Aeroacoustic Predictions

By Veena Parthan - 06 Jun, 2024 - Comments: 0

Simulating aeroacoustics is a tedious task that blends the complexities of fluid dynamics with the nuances of acoustic phenomena. This dual-domain challenge is marked by numerous technical obstacles, ranging from the wide range of scales involved to the subtler distinctions of acoustic signals amidst turbulent flows. To navigate these technical difficulties and advance our understanding of aero... » read more

Advancing the Future of Hearing Aids

By Cadence - 05 Jun, 2024 - Comments: 0

Hearing, one of the fundamental senses, profoundly affects our ability to communicate, engage with our environment, and maintain connections with others. Despite the long-standing presence of hearing aids in the market, accessibility to essential hearing aids has historically lagged, leaving many individuals isolated due to untreated hearing. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), ov... » read more

Blog Review: June 5
