Sea Of Processors Use Case
By Movellus - 27 Mar, 2024 - Comments: 0

Core counts have been increasing steadily since IBM's debut of the Power 4 in 2001, eclipsing 100 CPU cores and over 1,000 for AI accelerators. While sea of processor architectures feature a stamp and repeat design, per-core workloads aren't always going to be symmetrically balanced. For example, a cloud provider (AI or compute) will rent out individual core clusters to customers for specialize... » read more

Application-Specific Power Performance Optimizer Based On Chip Telemetry
By proteanTecs - 12 Mar, 2024 - Comments: 0

As datacenter power consumption continues to pose cooling and cost challenges, and battery driven devices are expected to last longer between charges, the search for advanced power management mechanisms continues. A modern design must balance between maximizing performance, consuming the least amount of power, and guaranteeing no failures in field. The latter requires safety margins which tr... » read more

Building Scalable And Efficient Data Centers With CXL
By Lou Ternullo - 15 Feb, 2024 - Comments: 0

The AI boom is giving rise to profound changes in the data center; demanding AI workloads are driving an unprecedented need for low latency, high-bandwidth connectivity and flexible access to more memory and compute power when needed. The Compute Express Link (CXL) interconnect offers new ways for data centers to enhance performance and efficiency between CPUs, accelerators and storage and move... » read more

AI Races To The Edge
By Karen Heyman - 07 Dec, 2023 - Comments: 0

AI is becoming increasingly sophisticated and pervasive at the edge, pushing into new application areas and even taking on some of the algorithm training that has been done almost exclusively in large data centers using massive sets of data. There are several key changes behind this shift. The first involves new chip architectures that are focused on processing, moving, and storing data more... » read more

Closing The Performance Gap Between DRAM And AI Processors
By Balaji Kanigicherla - 02 Nov, 2023 - Comments: 0

As the workhorse of semiconductor memory, DRAM holds a unique place in the industry thanks to its large storage capacity and ability to feed data and program code to the host processor quickly. Lately, this unsung hero of the circuit board has been taking a backseat to its logic counterparts, as a wave of high-performance FPGAs, CPUs, GPUs, TPUs and custom accelerator ASICs emerges to meet t... » read more

Network-on-Chips Enabling Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning Everywhere
By Frank Schirrmeister - 28 Sep, 2023 - Comments: 0

Recently, I attended the AI HW Summit in Santa Clara and Autosens in Brussels. Artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) were critical themes for both events, albeit from different angles. While AI/ML as a buzzword is very popular these days in all its good and bad ways, in discussions with customers and prospects, it became clear that we need to be precise in defining what type of A... » read more

AI Drives Need For Optical Interconnects In Data Centers
By Karen Heyman - 28 Sep, 2023 - Comments: 0

An explosion of data, driven by more sensors everywhere and the inclusion of AI/ML in just about everything, is ratcheting up the pressure on data centers to leverage optical interconnects to speed up data throughput and reduce latency. Optical communication has been in use for several decades, starting with long-haul communications, and evolving from there to connect external storage to ser... » read more

Performance & Efficiency Cores For Servers

In today's fast-paced digital world, the performance and capacity of high-speed memory has become crucial for a wide range of applications, from personal computing devices to data centers and high-performance computing systems. Designers face challenges in optimizing their designs for speed, power efficiency, and reliability — all while ensuring robustness in the face of power supply noise. T... » read more

Processor Tradeoffs For AI Workloads
By Ann Mutschler - 10 Aug, 2023 - Comments: 0

AI is forcing fundamental shifts in chips used in data centers and in the tools used to design them, but it also is creating gaps between the speed at which that technology advances and the demands from customers. These shifts started gradually, but they have accelerated and multiplied over the past year with the rollout of ChatGPT and other large language models. There is suddenly much more... » read more
