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

Week In Review: Semiconductor Manufacturing, Test
By Karen Heyman - 10 Feb, 2023 - Comments: 0

Chips for consumer devices are down, but the overall chip industry is actively preparing for the next phase of growth. Worldwide silicon wafer shipments, which are an aggregate view of all the various semiconductor segments, hit an all-time high in 2022, increasing 4% to 14,713 million square inches (MSI). Wafer revenue, meanwhile, rose 9.5% to $13.8 billion over the same period, SEMI reported ... » read more

Disaggregating And Extending Operating Systems
By Karen Heyman - 09 Feb, 2023 - Comments: 0

The push toward disaggregation and customization in hardware is starting to be mirrored on the software side, where operating systems are becoming smaller and more targeted, supplemented with additional software that can be optimized for different functions. There are two main causes for this shift. The first is rising demand for highly optimized and increasingly heterogeneous designs, which... » read more

Improving PPA When Embedding FPGAs Into SoCs
By Ed Sperling - 31 Jan, 2023 - Comments: 0

Embedded FPGAs have been on everyone’s radar for years as a way of extending the life of chips developed at advanced nodes, but they typically have come with high performance and power overhead. That’s no longer the case, and the ability to control complex chips and keep them current with changes to algorithms and various protocols is significant step. Geoff Tate, CEO of Flex Logix, talks a... » read more

A New Year’s Wish
By Brian Bailey - 26 Jan, 2023 - Comments: 0

Every year I run a predictions article. It is a mashup of ideas from many people within the industry, and while many predictions are somewhat self-serving, there are other which come more from the heart — or perhaps they are dreams rather than expectations. I see hope in some of those, particularly the ones that look toward sustainability within our industry, and of our industry. Just like... » read more

What Does 2023 Have In Store For Chip Design?
By Brian Bailey - 26 Jan, 2023 - Comments: 0

Predictions seem to be easier to make during times of stability, but they are no more correct than at any other period. During more turbulent times, fewer people are courageous enough to allow their opinions to be heard. And yet it is often those views that are more well thought through, and even if they turn out not to be true, they often contain some very enlightening ideas. 2022 saw some ... » read more
