Optimizing Offload Performance In Heterogeneous Multi-Processor SoCs (ETH Zurich)


A technical paper titled “Optimizing Offload Performance in Heterogeneous MPSoCs” was published by researchers at ETH Zurich. Abstract: "Heterogeneous multi-core architectures combine a few "host" cores, optimized for single-thread performance, with many small energy-efficient "accelerator" cores for data-parallel processing, on a single chip. Offloading a computation to the many-core acc... » read more

Startup Funding: March 2024


The challenge of moving data from place to place is increasingly a key concern for chip and system designers, and investors are taking note. Numerous startups developing interconnect technologies received significant backing in March, with approaches spanning chiplet-enabling PHYs, photonic fabrics for disaggregated compute and memory, and telecom transceiver modules. Several new startups la... » read more
