AI At The Edge Ubiquitous, Agentic, Multimodal, and Hardware-Accelerated


Over the past decade, cloud-based artificial intelligence (AI) has undergone significant maturation. Cloud-based AI now reliably supports large-scale model training, massive data storage, and centralized orchestration of AI workloads. At the same time, limitations—such as latency, bandwidth costs, privacy concerns, catastrophic consequences in the event of failure, and dependency on continuou... » read more

Semiconductor Value Chain With A Focus On IP Providers


By Global Semiconductor Alliance (GSA) The semiconductor industry operates within a complex and rapidly evolving ecosystem driven by continuous innovation. Central to this ecosystem is the semiconductor value chain, which includes several key stages: chip design, wafer fabrication, final assembly, and raw material sourcing. Each stage is crucial to the production and functionality of semicon... » read more

Configurability In The Design Of Integrated Chipsets


The semiconductor industry is experiencing significant changes as the requirements for processing data are evolving. Computing systems must manage unparallel massive amounts of data created by users, whether machines or humans. Artificial Intelligence is the mechanism by which this data gets processed, and it is driving a rethinking of the architectures of the computing systems. In conjunction ... » read more

Transforming The Semiconductor Industry: Future Roadmap For Generative AI On The Edge


In the third of a three-part series, Expedera, in conjunction with the Global Semiconductor Alliance’s Emerging Technologies (EmTech) group explores “Transforming the Semiconductor Industry: Future Roadmap for Generative AI on the Edge”. This white paper explores key applications for Generative AI and the features they enable, as well as an examination of how model growth and differing mo... » read more

Broad Impact From Accelerating Tech Cycles


Experts at the Table: Semiconductor Engineering sat down to discuss the impact of leading edge technologies such as generative AI in data centers, AR/VR, and security architectures for connected devices, with Michael Kurniawan, business strategy manager at Accenture; Kaushal Vora, senior director and head of business acceleration and ecosystem at Renesas Electronics; Paul Karazuba, vice preside... » read more

Heterogeneous Integration — Chiplets


Chiplets are a hot topic in the semiconductor industry, and to many, represent a paradigm change for chip designers and chip consumers alike. While heterogenous chiplets seem to have multiple advantages over traditional monolithic silicon and even homogenous chiplets, they still have not been mass-market deployed. This white paper, published in cooperation with the Global Semiconductor Alliance... » read more

Why Auto Ecosystem Relationships Are Changing


The automotive industry is in the midst of rapid change on many fronts. OEMs are exploring new functions and features to add to their vehicles, including chiplets, electrification, autonomous features, as well as new vehicle architectures that will determine how vehicles are going to be designed from the foundation up. But all of this is dependent on the relationships between all of the ecosyst... » read more

Finding Frameworks For End-To-End Analytics


End-to-end analytics can improve yield and ROI on tool purchases, but reaping those benefits will require common data formats, die traceability, an appropriate level of data granularity — and a determination of who owns what data. New standards, guidelines, and consortium efforts are being developed to remove these barriers to data sharing for analytics purposes. But the amount of work req... » read more

Removing Barriers For End-To-End Analytics


Parties are coming together, generating guidelines for sharing data from IC design and manufacturing through end of life, setting the stage for true end-to-end analytics. While the promise of big data analytics is well understood, data sharing through the semiconductor supply chain has been stymied by an inability to link together data sources throughout the lifecycle of a chip, package, or ... » read more

Week In Review: Auto, Security, Pervasive Computing


NASA plans to launch the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) this Saturday, Dec 25, on an European Space Agency (ESA) rocket. Mission-critical radiation-hardened components from IR HiRel, an Infineon company, will go up with the JWST. IR HiRel space-grade DC-DC converters, rad hard MOSFETs and other power control products are in the spacecraft bus subsystems, such as electrical power, altitude co... » read more
