Revving Up For Edge Computing
By Ed Sperling - 07 Nov, 2019 - Comments: 1

The edge is beginning to take shape as a way of limiting the amount of data that needs to be pushed up to the cloud for processing, setting the stage for a massive shift in compute architectures and a race among chipmakers for a stake in a new and highly lucrative market. So far, it's not clear which architectures will win, or how and where data will be partitioned between what needs to be p... » read more

Disaggregation Of The SoC
By Ed Sperling - 24 Oct, 2019 - Comments: 0

The rise of edge computing could do to the cloud what the PC did to the minicomputer and the mainframe. In the end, all of those co-existed (despite the fact that the minicomputer morphed into commodity servers from companies like Dell and HP). What's different this time around is that the computing done inside of those boxes is moving. It is being distributed in ways never considered feasi... » read more

Solving The Memory Bottleneck
By Brian Bailey - 04 Oct, 2019 - Comments: 4

Chipmakers are scrambling to solve the bottleneck between processor and memory, and they are turning out new designs based on different architectures at a rate no one would have anticipated even several months ago. At issue is how to boost performance in systems, particularly those at the edge, where huge amounts of data need to be processed locally or regionally. The traditional approach ha... » read more

New Security Risks Create Need For Stealthy Chips
By Ed Sperling - 03 Oct, 2019 - Comments: 0

Semiconductors are becoming more vulnerable to attacks at each new process node due to thinner materials used to make these devices, as well as advances in equipment used to simulate how those chips behave. Thinner chips are now emitting light, electromagnetic radiation and various other types of noise, which can be observed using infrared and acoustic sensors. In addition, more powerful too... » read more

Where Is The Edge?
By Ed Sperling - 02 Oct, 2019 - Comments: 0

Mike Fitton, senior director of strategic planning at Achronix, talks about what the edge will look like, how that fits in with the cloud, what the requirements are both for processing and for storage, and how this concept will evolve.   Edge Knowledge Center Top stories, videos, blogs, white papers all related to the Edge » read more

The Great Data Flood Ahead
By Ed Sperling - 26 Sep, 2019 - Comments: 1

The number of devices connected to the Internet is expected to exceed 1 trillion devices over the next decade or so. The timeline is a bit fuzzy, in part because no one is actually counting all of these devices, but the implications are pretty clear. A data deluge of biblical proportions is headed our way, and so far no one has any idea of what to do with all of it. From a system-level s... » read more

FPGA Design Tradeoffs Getting Tougher
By Ann Mutschler - 16 Sep, 2019 - Comments: 0

FPGAs are getting larger, more complex, and significantly harder to verify and debug. In the past, FPGAs were considered a relatively quick and simple way to get to market before committing to the cost and time of developing an ASIC. But today, both FPGAs and eFPGAs are being used in the most demanding applications, including cloud computing, AI, machine learning, and deep learning. In some ... » read more

Machine Learning Inferencing At The Edge
By Ed Sperling - 12 Sep, 2019 - Comments: 1

Ian Bratt, fellow in Arm's machine learning group, talks about why machine learning inferencing at the edge is so difficult, what are the tradeoffs, how to optimize data movement, how to accelerate that movement, and how it differs from developing other types of processors. » read more

Improving Quality Through Data Analytics
By Ed Sperling - 11 Sep, 2019 - Comments: 0

Doug Elder, vice president and general manager at OptimalPlus, explains how to utilize data to improve reliability, how it applies to different manufacturing processes, and what happens when that data is made available to more people within an organization. » read more

The Race For Better Computational Software
By Ed Sperling - 05 Sep, 2019 - Comments: 0

Anirudh Devgan, president of Cadence, sat down with Semiconductor Engineering to talk about computational software, why it's so critical at the edge and in AI systems, and where the big changes are across the semiconductor industry. What follows are excerpts of that conversation. SE: There is no consistent approach to how data will be processed at the edge, in part because there is no consis... » read more
