Why Standard Memory Choices Are So Confusing
By Ann Steffora Mutschler - 19 Nov, 2019 - Comments: 0

System architects increasingly are developing custom memory architectures based upon specific use cases, adding to the complexity of the design process even though the basic memory building blocks have been around for more than half a century. The number of tradeoffs has skyrocketed along with the volume of data. Memory bandwidth is now a gating factor for applications, and traditional memor... » read more

GDDR6 Drilldown: Applications, Tradeoffs And Specs
By Ed Sperling - 15 Nov, 2019 - Comments: 0

Frank Ferro, senior director of product marketing for IP cores at Rambus, drills down on tradeoffs in choosing different DRAM versions, where GDDR6 fits into designs versus other types of DRAM, and how different memories are used in different vertical markets. » read more

Bolstering Security For AI Applications
By Neeraj Paliwal - 14 Oct, 2019 - Comments: 0

Hardware accelerators that run sophisticated artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) algorithms have become increasingly prevalent in data centers and endpoint devices. As such, protecting sensitive and lucrative data running on AI hardware from a range of threats is now a priority for many companies. Indeed, a determined attacker can either manipulate or steal training data, inf... » read more

Using Multiple Inferencing Chips In Neural Networks
By Ed Sperling - 04 Oct, 2019 - Comments: 0

Geoff Tate, CEO of Flex Logix, talks about what happens when you add multiple chips in a neural network, what a neural network model looks like, and what happens when it’s designed correctly vs. incorrectly. » read more

Why Data Is So Difficult To Protect In AI Chips
By Ed Sperling - 25 Sep, 2019 - Comments: 0

Experts at the Table: Semiconductor Engineering sat down to discuss a wide range of hardware security issues and possible solutions with Norman Chang, chief technologist for the Semiconductor Business Unit at ANSYS; Helena Handschuh, fellow at Rambus, and Mike Borza, principal security technologist at Synopsys. What follows are excerpts of that conversation. The first part of this discussion ca... » read more

Memory Subsystems In Edge Inferencing Chips
By Ed Sperling - 23 Sep, 2019 - Comments: 0

Geoff Tate, CEO of Flex Logix, talks about key issues in a memory subsystem in an inferencing chip, how factors like heat can affect performance, and where these kinds of chips will be used. » read more

Making Better Use Of Memory In AI
By Ed Sperling - 13 Sep, 2019 - Comments: 0

Steven Woo, Rambus fellow and distinguished inventor, talks about using number formats to extend memory bandwidth, what the impact can be on fractional precision, how modifications of precision can play into that without sacrificing accuracy, and what role stochastic rounding can play. » read more

Accelerating Endpoint Inferencing
By Kevin Fogarty - 06 Jun, 2019 - Comments: 0

Chipmakers are getting ready to debut inference chips for endpoint devices, even though the rest of the machine-learning ecosystem has yet to be established. Whatever infrastructure does exist today is mostly in the cloud, on edge-computing gateways, or in company-specific data centers, which most companies continue to use. For example, Tesla has its own data center. So do most major carmake... » read more

Holes In AI Security
By Ed Sperling - 06 Jun, 2019 - Comments: 0

Mike Borza, principal security technologist in Synopsys’ Solutions Group, explains why security is lacking in AI, why AI is especially susceptible to Trojans, and why small changes in training data can have big impacts on many devices. » read more
