AI ASICs Will Become Increasingly Application-Specific
By Anand Joshi - 10 Oct, 2022 - Comments: 0

Back in 2017, I blogged about AI ASICs being not exactly ASICs. One of the primary reasons for not calling AI acceleration chips ASIC is because historically ASIC or Application Specific Integrated Circuit has referred to a fixed hardware block with limited programmability. AI ASICs on the other hand offer significant programming via frameworks such as Tensorflow and the point was that they are... » read more

By Susan Rambo - 01 Jul, 2022 - Comments: 0

Automotive, mobility The Lancet’s Road Safety 2022 report estimates that 1.35 million people die every year from road traffic injuries, with more than 50 million injured or disabled. Low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs) have the most deaths, accounting for 93% of the world's fatalities on roads. The four main risk factors for road injuries are speeding, impaired driving (drunk driv... » read more

Ensuring Functional Safety For Automotive AI Processors
By Frank Schirrmeister - 03 Feb, 2022 - Comments: 0

Safety is critically important across the automotive, industrial, and aerospace and defense industries. For instance, Cadence's work with Hailo illustrates how advances in semiconductor technology and EDA deliver safe electronics without compromising low power and cost. Hailo's automotive webpage starts with the words "The pursuit for 'vision zero,'" reflecting that European road fatalitie... » read more

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

Startup Funding: October 2021
By Jesse Allen - 03 Nov, 2021 - Comments: 0

Semiconductor manufacturing and packaging companies caught the attention of investors last month, with funding going to a middle-end-of-line foundry, flexible electronics manufacturer, and fab management software. Two Israeli startups are approaching AI accelerators in very different ways, while battery startups propose a variety of new chemistries in the search for the ideal electric vehicle b... » read more
