Speeding Down Memory Lane With Custom HBM
By Faisal Goriawalla - 11 Mar, 2025 - Comments: 0

With the goal of increasing system performance per watt, the semiconductor industry is always seeking innovative solutions that go beyond the usual approaches of increasing memory capacity and data rates. Over the last decade, the High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) protocol has proven to be a popular choice for data center and high-performance computing (HPC) applications. Even more benefit can be rea... » read more

Research Bits: Mar. 10

System efficiency is dictated by the performance of crucial components. For AI hardware systems, memory subsystem performance is the single most crucial component. In this blog post, we will provide an overview of the AI model landscape and the impact of HBM memory subsystems on effective system performance. AI models have grown from a few billions of parameters from the early '90s to today�... » read more

Optimizing Data Center TCO With CXL And Compression
By Raj Uppala - 13 Feb, 2025 - Comments: 0

In the ever-evolving landscape of data centers, Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) remains a critical metric. It encompasses all costs associated with data center infrastructure throughout its lifecycle, including initial purchase, installation, utilization, maintenance, energy consumption, and eventual replacement. By understanding and optimizing TCO, hyperscalers can make informed decisions that e... » read more

Design And Verification Issues In 2024
By Brian Bailey - 19 Dec, 2024 - Comments: 0

At the end of each year, I look back over the stories published and those that top the charts in terms of readership. I concentrate on those stories that are about the EDA tools and flows and the factors that are influencing them. These are good indicators of the problems designers and verification teams are facing today, and where they are looking for answers. This year's leading categories... » read more

Baby Steps Toward 3D DRAM
By Bryon Moyer - 17 Dec, 2024 - Comments: 0

Flash memory has made incredible capacity strides thanks to monolithic 3D processing enabled by the stacking of more than 200 layers, which is on its way to 1.000 layers in future generations.[1] But the equally important DRAM has achieved a similar manufacturable 3D architecture. The need for a sufficiently large means of storing charge — such as a capacitor — has proved elusive. Severa... » read more
