By Technical Paper Link - 15 Jan, 2025 - Comments: 0

A new technical paper titled "Leveraging ASIC AI Chips for Homomorphic Encryption" was published by researchers at Georgia Tech, MIT, Google and Cornell University. Abstract: "Cloud-based services are making the outsourcing of sensitive client data increasingly common. Although homomorphic encryption (HE) offers strong privacy guarantee, it requires substantially more resources than compu... » read more

How Google And Intel Use Calibre DesignEnhancer To Reduce IR Drop And Improve Reliability
By Siemens EDA - 15 Jan, 2025 - Comments: 0

In the fast-paced world of semiconductor design, achieving both Design Rule Check (DRC) clean layouts and optimal electrical performance is crucial for minimizing design iterations, reducing time-to-market and ensuring product reliability. This paper explores how the Calibre DesignEnhancer (DE) analysis-based, signoff-quality EMIR solution helps design teams meet these challenges by enhancing p... » read more

Billions of dollars have been pouring into Asian countries for the past few years in an effort to boost their production capacity, explore leading-edge technology, compete on the global stage, and shore up supply chains in the face of geopolitical turmoil. Each country has its own plan to maintain a foothold in the global market, from China’s Big Fund to Korea’s Yongin Cluster and Japan�... » 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

Amkor will provide turnkey advanced packaging and test services to TSMC in Amkor's planned facility in Peoria, Arizona, in a deal announced on Thursday. The companies jointly specified the packaging technologies, such as TSMC’s Integrated Fan-Out (InFO) and Chip on Wafer on Substrate (CoWoS). President Biden signed into law a bill that exempts some semiconductor projects funded by the U.S.... » read more

Barriers To Chiplet Sockets
By Brian Bailey - 30 Sep, 2024 - Comments: 0

Experts At The Table: Demand for chiplets is growing, but debate continues about whether standards and general-purpose chiplets will kick-start the commercialization boom, or whether success will come through customization of those chiplets. Semiconductor Engineeering sat down to discuss these and other related issues with Elad Alon, CEO of Blue Cheetah; Mark Kuemerle, vice president of technol... » read more
