Improving Performance And Lowering Power In Automotive
By Ann Mutschler - 20 Jul, 2023 - Comments: 0

Automotive OEMs are boosting their investments across the semiconductor ecosystem as stepping stones toward electrification and autonomy, and they are starting to encounter some of the same issues chipmakers have been wrestling with at advanced nodes — massive compute performance, thermal and power issues, reliability over extended lifetimes, and a highly diverse and geographically distribute... » read more

Blog Review: July 19
By Jesse Allen - 19 Jul, 2023 - Comments: 0

Siemens' Keith Felton argues that co-design-driven semiconductor package planning and prototyping is critical for design success and points to how interchange formats enable designers to make trade-off decisions for both the package and the board and communicate those recommendations back to the other design team in formats that are native to their tools. Cadence's Xin Mu explains precoding ... » read more

Not All There: Heterogeneous Multiprocessor Design Tools
By Brian Bailey - 26 Jun, 2023 - Comments: 0

The design, implementation, and programming of multicore heterogeneous systems is becoming more common, often driven by the software workloads, but the tooling to help optimize the processors, interconnect, and memory are disjointed. Over the past few years, many tools have emerged that help with the definition and implementation of a single processor, optimized for a given set of software. ... » read more

The European Parliament took a major step toward enacting the world’s first laws around the use of AI. Known as the AI Act, the draft law won a majority vote following two years of debate. If the proposed regulations pass the next hurdles, AI systems posing an unacceptable risk to human safety would be banned — along with “intrusive and discriminatory” uses of AI, including biometric su... » read more

3DICs: Legalizer Techniques For Better Routing Quality, Fewer DRVs, And Reduced Total Slack With Negligible Runtime Impact
By Technical Paper Link - 07 Jun, 2023 - Comments: 0

A technical paper titled “On Legalization of Die Bonding Bumps and Pads for 3D ICs” was published by researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology, NVIDIA Corporation, and the University of Bremen. Abstract "State-of-the-art 3D IC Place-and-Route flows were designed with older technology nodes and aggressive bonding pitch assumptions. As a result, these flows fail to honor the widt... » read more

Startup Funding: May 2023
By Jesse Allen - 07 Jun, 2023 - Comments: 0

Photonic interconnects were an area of activity in May, with two companies raising funds for what could be much faster chip-to-chip and chiplet-to-chiplet links. Microstructured optics and metasurfaces also drew investment, with four companies creating products for a range of applications from flexible LEDs to multi-wavelength spectral imaging. The large language models that power many gener... » read more
