Siemens’ Jonathan Muirhead explains why matching and symmetry are so important for analog and RF circuits, especially in topological structures like differential pairs and current mirrors, and introduces checking techniques to ensure compliance. Cadence's Satish Kumar Padhi examines the significance of randomization in PCIe IDE verification, focusing on how it ensures data integrity and en... » read more

Managing The Huge Power Demands Of AI Everywhere
By Ann Mutschler - 14 Nov, 2024 - Comments: 1

Before generative AI burst onto the scene, no one predicted how much energy would be needed to power AI systems. Those numbers are just starting to come into focus, and so is the urgency about how to sustain it all. AI power demand is expected to surge 550% by 2026, from 8 TWh in 2024 to 52 TWh, before rising another 1,150% to 652 TWh by 2030. Commensurately, U.S. power grid planners have do... » read more

Building Safe And Secure Software With Rust On Arm
By Jonathan Pallant - 14 Nov, 2024 - Comments: 0

The Rust Programming Language has gained the attention of government security agencies, and even the White House, due to its unique blend of safety, performance and productivity. Rust is designed to remove common programming burdens and handle issues like use-after-free errors at compile time. Remarkably, it achieves this without using a garbage collector, generating machine code that rivals th... » read more

Shift Left Is The Tip Of The Iceberg
By Brian Bailey - 14 Nov, 2024 - Comments: 1

Shift left is evolving from a buzzword into a much broader shift in design methodology and EDA tooling, and while it's still early innings there is widespread agreement that it will be transformative. The semiconductor industry has gone through many changes over the past few decades. Some are obvious, but others happen because of a convergence of multiple factors that require systemic change... » read more

New AI Data Types Emerge
By Bryon Moyer - 14 Nov, 2024 - Comments: 0

AI is all about data, and the representation of the data matters strongly. But after focusing primarily on 8-bit integers and 32‑bit floating-point numbers, the industry is now looking at new formats. There is no single best type for every situation, because the choice depends on the type of AI model, whether accuracy, performance, or power is prioritized, and where the computing happens, ... » read more

A Comprehensive Guide to Understanding AI Inference on the CPU
By Arm - 13 Nov, 2024 - Comments: 0

As AI continues to revolutionize industries, new workloads, like generative AI, inspire new use cases, the demand for efficient and scalable AI-based solutions has never been greater. While training often garners attention, inference—the process of applying trained models to new data—is essential for AI workloads, whether they are running in the cloud, or enabling real-world applications at... » read more
