KANs Explode!
By Steve Roddy - 13 Jun, 2024 - Comments: 0

In late April 2024, a novel AI research paper was published by researchers from MIT and CalTech proposing a fundamentally new approach to machine learning networks – the Kolmogorov Arnold Network – or KAN. In the six weeks since its publication, the AI research field is ablaze with excitement and speculation that KANs might be a breakthrough that dramatically alters the trajectory of AI mod... » read more

Chip Design Digs Deeper Into AI
By Ann Mutschler - 03 Jun, 2024 - Comments: 0

Growing demand for blazing fast and extremely dense multi-chiplet systems are pushing chip design deeper into AI, which increasingly is viewed as the best solution for sifting through scores of possible configurations, constraints, and variables in the least amount of time. This shift has broad implications for the future of chip design. In the past, collaborations typically involved the chi... » read more

Physics-Aware AI Is The Key To Next Gen IC Design
By Marc Swinnen - 03 Jun, 2024 - Comments: 0

Chip design projects are notorious for generating huge amounts of design data. The design process calls for a dozen or more electronic design automation (EDA) software tools to be run in sequence. Together, they write out hundreds of gigabytes of intermediate data on the way to creating a final layout for manufacturing. Traditionally, this has been seen as a problem. But this richness of data i... » read more

DAC Panel Could Spark Fireworks
By Brian Bailey - 30 May, 2024 - Comments: 1

Panels can often become love fests. While a title may sound controversial, it turns out that everyone quickly finds that all the panelists agree on the major points. This is sometimes the result of how the panel was put together – the proposal came from one company, and they wanted to get their customers or clients onto the panel. They are unlikely to ask a major competitor to be part of the ... » read more

Vision Is Why LLMs Matter On The Edge
By Ben Gomes - 30 May, 2024 - Comments: 0

Large Language Models (LLMs) have taken the world by storm since the 2017 Transformers paper, but pushing them to the edge has proved problematic. Just this year, Google had to revise its plans to roll out Gemini Nano on all new Pixel models — the down-spec’d hardware options proved unable to host the model as part of a positive user experience. But the implementation of language-focused mo... » read more

AI-Powered Data Analytics To Revolutionize The Semiconductor Industry
By Reela Samuel - 30 May, 2024 - Comments: 1

In the age where data reigns supreme, the semiconductor industry stands on the cusp of revolutionary change, redefining complexity and productivity through a lens crafted by artificial intelligence (AI). The intersection of AI and the semiconductor industry is not merely an emerging trend—it is the fulcrum upon which the next generation of technological innovation balances. Semiconductor comp... » read more

AI For Data Management
By Adam Kovac - 30 May, 2024 - Comments: 0

Data management is becoming a significant new challenge for the chip industry, as well as a brand new opportunity, as the amount of data collected at every step of design through manufacturing continues to grow. Exacerbating the problem is the rising complexity of designs, many of which are highly customized and domain-specific at the leading edge, as well as increasing demands for reliabili... » read more
