Chip Industry’s Technical Paper Roundup: Jan. 31


New technical papers added to Semiconductor Engineering’s library. [table id=77 /] If you have research papers you are trying to promote, we will review them to see if they are a good fit for our global audience. At a minimum, papers need to be well researched and documented, relevant to the semiconductor ecosystem, and free of marketing bias. There is no cost involved for us posting l... » read more

Heterogeneous Multi-Core HW Architectures With Fine-Grained Scheduling of Layer-Fused DNNs


A technical paper titled "Towards Heterogeneous Multi-core Accelerators Exploiting Fine-grained Scheduling of Layer-Fused Deep Neural Networks" was published by researchers at KU Leuven and TU Munich. Abstract "To keep up with the ever-growing performance demand of neural networks, specialized hardware (HW) accelerators are shifting towards multi-core and chiplet architectures. So far, thes... » read more

Mass Producing Qubits (Imec and KU Leuven)


This new technical paper titled "Path toward manufacturable superconducting qubits with relaxation times exceeding 0.1 ms" was published by researchers at Imec and KU Leuven. Abstract "As the superconducting qubit platform matures towards ever-larger scales in the race towards a practical quantum computer, limitations due to qubit inhomogeneity through lack of process control become app... » read more

Security Research: Technical Paper Round-Up


A number of hardware security-related technical papers were presented at recent conferences, including the August 2022 USENIX Security Symposium and IEEE’s International Symposium on Hardware Oriented Security and Trust (HOST). Topics include side-channel attacks and defenses (including on-chip mesh interconnect attacks), heterogeneous attacks on cache hierarchies, rowhammer attacks and mitig... » read more

Heterogenous Computing & Cache Attacks


Researchers at imec-COSIC, KU Leuven presented this paper titled "Double Trouble: Combined Heterogeneous Attacks on Non-Inclusive Cache Hierarchies" at the USENIX Security Symposium in Boston in August 2022. Note, this is a prepublication paper. Abstract: "As the performance of general-purpose processors faces diminishing improvements, computing systems are increasingly equipped with domai... » read more
