Research Bits: March 14
By Jesse Allen - 14 Mar, 2023 - Comments: 0

Shift register-in-memory architecture Researchers at the Singapore University of Technology and Design propose a new reconfigurable shift register-in-memory architecture for devices that can work both as a reconfigurable memory component and as a programmable shift register. The device is based on phase-change alloys, which can switch reversibly between the glassy amorphous state and the or... » read more

Week In Review: Auto, Security, Pervasive Computing
By Linda Christensen - 10 Mar, 2023 - Comments: 0

Rambus will begin selling Arm's CryptoCell embedded security platform and CryptoIsland root-of-trust cores, setting the stage for a much broader push by Rambus into security for a wide range of connected devices, and ultimately into security as a service. Under the terms of the deal, Rambus' customers will be able to license Arm IP directly from Rambus. For Arm's existing customers, there will ... » read more

The Biden Administration’s export bans for semiconductor manufacturing equipment are delaying expansion plans for Chinese chipmakers, Nikkei Asia reports. Yangtze Memory Technologies (YMTC) has halted work on its second memory plant near Wuhan, and ChangXin Memory Technologies (CMTX) says its second production facility, slated to open in 2023, will be delayed until 2024 or 2025. In an effo... » read more

It’s earnings season. Arm, Cadence, Synopsys, Siemens (consolidated), Rambus, and Renesas reported quarterly results over the past couple weeks. All posted year-over-year revenue growth, despite an overall challenging macroeconomic climate. A roundup of all the chip industry earnings reports from the past several weeks can be found here. The edge computing market is projected to jump to al... » read more

Chip Industry’s Technical Paper Roundup: Feb. 14
By Linda Christensen - 14 Feb, 2023 - Comments: 0

New technical papers recently added to Semiconductor Engineering’s library: [table id=80 /] If you have research papers you are trying to promote, we will review them to see if they are a good fit for our global audience. At a minimum, papers need to be well researched and documented, relevant to the semiconductor ecosystem, and free of marketing bias. There is no cost involved for us p... » read more

New Method Improves Machine Learning Models’ Reliability, With Less Computing Resources (MIT, U. of Florida, IBM Watson)
By Technical Paper Link - 13 Feb, 2023 - Comments: 0

A new technical paper titled "Post-hoc Uncertainty Learning using a Dirichlet Meta-Model" was published (preprint) by researchers at MIT, University of Florida, and MIT-IBM Watson AI Lab (IBM Research). The work demonstrates how to quantify the level of certainty in its predictions, while using less compute resources. “Uncertainty quantification is essential for both developers and users o... » read more

Imec released its semiconductor roadmap, which calls for doubling compute power every six months to handle the data explosion and new data-intensive problems. Imec named five walls (scaling, memory, power, sustainability, cost) that need to be dismantled. The roadmap (below) stretches from 7nm to 0.2nm (2 angstroms) by 2036, and includes four generations of gate-all-around FETs followed by thre... » read more
