The paper states "In this article, we propose an automated tool flow from a domain-specific language for tensor expressions to generate massively parallel acceler... » read more

Tech Forecast: Fab Processes To Watch Through 2040
By Laura Peters - 16 Mar, 2023 - Comments: 0

The massive proliferation of semiconductors in more markets, and more applications within those markets, is expected to propel the industry to more than $1 trillion by 2030. But over the next 17 years, semiconductors will reach well beyond the numbers, changing the way people work, how they communicate, and how they measure and monitor their health and well-being. Chips will be the enabling ... » read more

Will AI Take My Job?
By Brian Bailey - 23 Feb, 2023 - Comments: 0

Everyone is talking about ChatGPT these days, and I am sure we will be comparing it with Google's new offering before long. I thought it was time that I gave it a quick spin, and since I am preparing to moderate a webinar about chiplets as I write this, I decided it was a good example of a fairly new field and would be a good test. I started by asking, "What are semiconductor chiplets, what ... » read more

HBM-Enabled FPGA-Based Graph Processing Accelerator
By Technical Paper Link - 19 Feb, 2023 - Comments: 0

A technical paper titled "ACTS: A Near-Memory FPGA Graph Processing Framework" was published by researchers at University of Virginia and Samsung. Abstract: "Despite the high off-chip bandwidth and on-chip parallelism offered by today's near-memory accelerators, software-based (CPU and GPU) graph processing frameworks still suffer performance degradation from under-utilization of available ... » read more

Advanced Packaging for High-Bandwidth Memory: Influences of TSV size, TSV Aspect Ratio And Annealing Temperature
By Technical Paper Link - 13 Feb, 2023 - Comments: 0

A technical paper titled "Stress Issue of Vertical Connections in 3D Integration for High-Bandwidth Memory Applications" was published by researchers at National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University. Abstract: "The stress of TSV with different dimensions under annealing condition has been investigated. Since the application of TSV and bonding technology has demonstrated a promising approach for ... » read more

Where Power Is Spent In HBM
By Ed Sperling - 06 Feb, 2023 - Comments: 0

HBM is gaining ground because of a spike in the amount of data that needs to be processed quickly, but big reductions in power are possible if that processing can be moved closer to the HBM modules, and if more can be done in each compute cycle without sending data back and forth to memory as frequently. Steven Woo, fellow and distinguished engineer at Rambus, talks about what can be done to bo... » read more

Choosing The Correct High-Bandwidth Memory
By Ann Mutschler - 25 Jan, 2023 - Comments: 0

The number of options for how to build high-performance chips is growing, but the choices for attached memory have barely budged. To achieve maximum performance in automotive, consumer, and hyperscale computing, the choices come down to one or more flavors of DRAM, and the biggest tradeoff is cost versus speed. DRAM remains an essential component in any of these architectures, despite years ... » read more

The Path To Known Good Interconnects
By Laura Peters - 19 Jan, 2023 - Comments: 1

Chiplets and heterogenous integration (HI) provide a compelling way to continue delivering improvements in performance, power, area, and cost (PPAC) as Moore’s Law slows, but choosing the best way to connect these devices so they behave in consistent and predictable ways is becoming a challenge as the number of options continues to grow. More possibilities also bring more potential interac... » read more

Design And Verification Methodologies Breaking Down
By Brian Bailey - 12 Jan, 2023 - Comments: 0

Tools, methodologies and flows that have been in place since the dawn of semiconductor design are breaking down, but this time there isn't a large pool of researchers coming up with potential solutions. The industry is on its own to formulate those ideas, and that will take a lot of cooperation between EDA companies, fabs, and designers, which has not been their strong point in the past. It ... » read more

Choosing The Right Memory At The Edge
By Ed Sperling - 09 Jan, 2023 - Comments: 0

As the amount of data produced by sensors in cars and phones continues to grow, more of that data needs to be processed locally. It takes too much time and power to send it all to the cloud. But choosing the right memory for a particular application requires a series of tradeoffs involving cost, bandwidth, power, which can vary greatly by device, application, and even the data itself. Frank Fer... » read more
