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

Integration Challenges For RISC-V Designs
By Ed Sperling - 27 Feb, 2024 - Comments: 0

One of the big draws of RISC-V is that it allows design teams to create unique chips or chiplets and to make modifications to the instruction-set architecture. That extra degree of freedom also creates some issues when it comes to integrating those designs into packages or systems because they may require non-standard connectivity approaches. Frank Schirrmeister, vice president of marketing at ... » read more

LLM Inference on GPUs (Intel)
By Technical Paper Link - 02 Feb, 2024 - Comments: 0

A technical paper titled “Efficient LLM inference solution on Intel GPU” was published by researchers at Intel Corporation. Abstract: "Transformer based Large Language Models (LLMs) have been widely used in many fields, and the efficiency of LLM inference becomes hot topic in real applications. However, LLMs are usually complicatedly designed in model structure with massive operations and... » read more

What’s Changing In DRAM
By Ed Sperling - 22 Jan, 2024 - Comments: 0

More data requires more processing and more storage, because that data needs to be stored somewhere. What’s changing is that it’s no longer just about SRAM and DRAM. Today, multiple types of DRAM are used in the same devices, each with its own set of tradeoffs. C.S. Lin, marketing executive at Winbond, talks about the potential problems that causes, including mismatches in latency, and high... » read more

Very Short Reach SerDes In Data Centers
By Ed Sperling - 13 Dec, 2023 - Comments: 0

Speed is critical inside of data centers, and the distance that signals have to travel can have a big impact on time to results. But there are a number of variables that need to be considered, including what is an acceptable loss, how much power can be dissipated in a server rack, and what are the various connection options being used. Keivan Javadi Khasraghi, staff technical product manager at... » read more

Latency Considerations For 1.6T Ethernet Designs
By Jon Ames - 12 Oct, 2023 - Comments: 0

Since its 1980s debut with 10Mbps shared LANs over coaxial cables, Ethernet has seen consistent advancements, now with the potential to support speeds up to 1.6Tbps. This progression has allowed Ethernet to serve a wider range of applications, such as live streaming, Radio Access Networks and industrial control, emphasizing the importance of reliable packet transfer and quality of service. With... » read more

How Sub-THz Will Impact the Future Of 6G
By Alejandro Escobar Calderon - 30 May, 2023 - Comments: 0

By Alejandro Escobar Calderon and Gerardo Orozco The world is more connected than ever before and, while this notion isn’t new, many of us fail to fully grasp at times the magnitude of connection growth speed. As of 2022, the world had around 13.2B IoT connections (Ericsson Mobile) with a YoY growth of 13%. Additionally, mobile network data traffic has doubled every two years since 2019. T... » read more

100G Ethernet At The Edge
By Ed Sperling - 19 Apr, 2023 - Comments: 0

The amount of data is growing, and so is the need to process it closer to the source. The edge is a middle ground between the cloud and the end point, close enough to where data is generated to reduce the time it takes to process that data, yet still powerful enough to analyze that data quickly and send it wherever it is needed. But to make this all work requires faster conduits for that data i... » read more

CXL Memory: Detailed Characterization Analysis Using Micro-Benchmarks And Real Applications (UIUC, Intel Labs)
By Technical Paper Link - 30 Mar, 2023 - Comments: 0

A new technical paper titled "Demystifying CXL Memory with Genuine CXL-Ready Systems and Devices" was published by researchers at University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) and Intel Labs. Abstract: "The high demand for memory capacity in modern datacenters has led to multiple lines of innovation in memory expansion and disaggregation. One such effort is Compute eXpress Link (CXL)-based... » read more

The March Toward Chiplets
By Ed Sperling and Karen Heyman - 15 Dec, 2022 - Comments: 0

The days of monolithic chips developed at the most advanced process nodes are rapidly dwindling. Nearly everyone working at the leading edge of design is looking toward some type of advanced packaging using discrete heterogeneous components. The challenge now is how to shift the whole chip industry into this disaggregated model. It's going to take time, effort, as well as a substantial reali... » read more
