Photonics: The Former And Future Solution
By Karen Heyman - 14 Mar, 2024 - Comments: 0

Experts at the Table: Semiconductor Engineering sat down to talk about where photonics is in the hype cycle and its secure role in data centers, with James Pond, fellow at Ansys; Gilles Lamant, distinguished engineer at Cadence; and Mitch Heins, business development manager for photonic solutions at Synopsys. What follows are excerpts of that conversation. [L-R]: Ansys’ Pond, Cadence�... » read more

2.5D Integration: Big Chip Or Small PCB?
By Brian Bailey - 29 Feb, 2024 - Comments: 1

Defining whether a 2.5D device is a printed circuit board shrunk down to fit into a package, or is a chip that extends beyond the limits of a single die, may seem like hair-splitting semantics, but it can have significant consequences for the overall success of a design. Planar chips always have been limited by size of the reticle, which is about 858mm2. Beyond that, yield issues make the si... » read more

Getting Optimal PPA For HPC & AI Applications With Foundation IP
By Andrew Appleby - 11 Jan, 2024 - Comments: 0

By Andrew Appleby, Xiaorui Hu, and Bhavana Chaurasia The demand for application-specific system-on-chips (SoCs) for compute applications is ever-increasing. Today, the diversity of requirements means there is a need for a rich set of compute solutions in a wide range of process technologies. The resulting products may have very different but demanding power, performance, and area (PPA) requi... » read more

2023: A Good Year For Semiconductors
By Brian Bailey - 21 Dec, 2023 - Comments: 0

Looking back, 2023 has had more than its fair share of surprises, but who were the winners and losers? The good news is that by the end of the year, almost everyone was happy. That is not how we exited 2022, where there was overcapacity, inventories had built up in many parts of the industry, and few sectors — apart from data centers — were seeing much growth. The supposed new leaders we... » read more

The Journey To Exascale Computing And Beyond
By Steven Woo - 14 Dec, 2023 - Comments: 0

High performance computing witnessed one of its most ambitious leaps forward with the development of the US supercomputer “Frontier.” As Scott Atchley from Oak Ridge National Laboratory discussed at Supercomputing 23 (SC23) in Denver last month, the Frontier had the ambitious goal of achieving performance levels 1000 times higher than the petascale systems that preceded it, while also stayi... » read more

Chip Industry Week In Review
By The SE Staff - 17 Nov, 2023 - Comments: 0

By Jesse Allen, Karen Heyman, and Liz Allan Japan's Rapidus and the University of Tokyo are teaming up with France's Leti to meet its previously announced mass production goal of 2nm chips by 2027, and chips in the 1nm range in the 2030s. Rapidus was formed in 2022 with the support of eight Japanese companies — Sony, Kioxia, Denso, NEC, NTT, SoftBank, Toyota, and Mitsubishi's banking arm, ... » read more

Placement And CTS Techniques For High-Performance Computing Designs
By Siemens EDA - 09 Nov, 2023 - Comments: 0

This paper discusses the challenges of designing high-performance computing (HPC) integrated circuits (ICs) to achieve maximum performance. The design process for HPC ICs has become more complex with each new process technology, requiring new architectures and transistors. We highlight how the Siemens Aprisa digital implementation solution can solve placement and clock tree challenges in HPC de... » read more
