Cadence's Rajneesh Chauhan explores the extended metadata feature in CXL 3.1, which helps systems manage memory and devices more effectively by sending extra information along with memory transactions to provide more context about what's happening during these transactions. Siemens' Bianca Ward recommends semiconductor companies combat rising production costs by leaning into digitalization a... » read more

AI In Data Management Has Limits
By Adam Kovac - 03 Feb, 2025 - Comments: 0

AI algorithms are being integrated into a growing number of EDA tools to automate different aspects of data management, but they also are forcing discussions about just how much decision-making should be turned over to machines and when that should happen. The ability of AI to sort through enormous amounts of design data to find patterns, both good and bad, is well recognized at this point. ... » read more

Chip Industry Week In Review
By The SE Staff - 31 Jan, 2025 - Comments: 0

Chinese startup DeepSeek rattled the tech world and U.S. stock market with claims it spent just $5.6 million on compute power for its AI model compared to its billion-dollar rivals in the U.S. The announcement raised questions about U.S. investment strategies in AI infrastructure and led to an initial $600 billion selloff of NVIDIA stock. Since its launch, DeepSeek reportedly was hit by malicio... » read more

Chip Architectures Becoming Much More Complex With Chiplets
By Ed Sperling and Ann Mutschler - 30 Jan, 2025 - Comments: 0

The migration from monolithic SoCs to chiplet-based designs is creating a confusing array of options and tradeoffs for design teams working at the leading edge, and the number of choices is only going to increase as third-party chiplets begin pouring into the market. That hasn't dampened the appetite for chiplets, however, which are deemed essential for future generations of semiconductors f... » read more
