Automotive Outlook 2025: Ecosystem Pivots Around SDV
By Ann Mutschler - 06 Feb, 2025 - Comments: 0

The automotive industry is deep in the throes of a massive shift to software-defined vehicle architectures, a multi-year effort that will change the way automotive chips are designed, where they are used, and how they are sourced. Creating a new vehicle architecture is no small feat. OEMs need to figure out who to partner with and which aspects of their current architecture to include. This ... » read more

2025: So Many Possibilities
By Brian Bailey - 16 Jan, 2025 - Comments: 0

The stage is set for a year of innovation in the chip industry, unlike anything seen for decades, but what makes this period of advancement truly unique is the need to focus on physics and real design skills. Planar scaling of SoCs enabled design and verification tools and methodologies to mature on a relatively linear path, but the last few years have created an environment for more radical... » read more

AI Won’t Replace Subject Matter Experts
By Adam Kovac - 15 Jan, 2025 - Comments: 0

Experts at The Table: The emergence of LLMs and other forms of AI has sent ripples through a number of industries, raising fears that many jobs could be on the chopping block, to be replaced by automation. Whether that’s the case in semiconductors, where machine learning has become an integral part of the design process, remains to be seen. Semiconductor Engineering sat down with a panel of e... » read more

The Future Of Technology: Generative AI In China
By Eleanor Brash - 05 Dec, 2024 - Comments: 0

China's investment in Gen-AI is projected to surge with an estimated 86% CAGR over the next five years. This growth is driven by a focus on technological self-sufficiency, from applications to chips, and a strong emphasis on locally developed technology. Key areas of development include: AI Chip Development: Addressing the need for powerful AI infrastructure. Dataset Localization: S... » read more

Goal-Driven AI
By Brian Bailey - 26 Nov, 2024 - Comments: 2

For many, the long-term dream for AI within EDA is the ability to define a set of goals and tell the computer to go design it for them. A short while later, an optimized design will pop out. All of today's EDA tools will remain hidden, if they even exist at all. You would only be limited by your imagination. But we also know that AI is not to be trusted today, especially when millions of dol... » read more

How AI Is Transforming System Design
By Adam Kovac - 26 Nov, 2024 - Comments: 0

Experts At The Table: ChatGPT and other LLMs have attracted most of the attention in recent years, but other forms of AI have long been incorporated into design workflows. The technology has become so common that many designers may not even realize it’s a part of the tools they use every day. But its adoption is spreading deeper into tools and methodologies. Semiconductor Engineering sat down... » 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

Mass Customization For AI Inference
By Ann Mutschler - 17 Oct, 2024 - Comments: 0

Rising complexity in AI models and an explosion in the number and variety of networks is leaving chipmakers torn between fixed-function acceleration and more programmable accelerators, and creating some novel approaches that include some of both. By all accounts, a general-purpose approach to AI processing is not meeting the grade. General-purpose processors are exactly that. They're not des... » read more
