Outsmarting Silent Data Corruption In AI Processors With Two-Stage Detection


Silent data corruption is on the rise following advancements in semiconductor technology. The explosion in AI for speech, image, video, and text processing leads to a growing complexity and diversity of hardware systems, bringing an increased risk to data integrity. SDC rate is much higher than software engineers expect, undermining the hardware reliability they used to take for granted. Rec... » read more

New AI Processors Architectures Balance Speed With Efficiency


Leading AI systems designs are migrating away from building the fastest AI processor possible, adopting a more balanced approach that involves highly specialized, heterogeneous compute elements, faster data movement, and significantly lower power. Part of this shift revolves around the adoption of chiplets in 2.5D/3.5D packages, which enable greater customization for different workloads and ... » read more

RISC-V Wants All Your Cores


RISC-V is no longer content to disrupt the CPU industry. It is waging war against every type of processor integrated into an SoC or advanced package, an ambitious plan that will face stiff competition from entrenched players with deep-pocketed R&D operations and their well-constructed ecosystems. When Calista Redmond, CEO for RISC-V International, said at last year's summit that RISC-V w... » read more
