Startup Tips To Get From Seed Funding To Series A, B, C
By Liz Allan - 16 Oct, 2025 - Comments: 0

Startups are often created by experienced engineers who figure out how to solve a technical problem they are dealing with at work, or by PhD candidates in research labs before they have even started their first full-time job. Either way, getting seed money to the tune of a few million dollars is relatively easy compared to securing further rounds of funding and achieving the company’s exit go... » read more

ONNX And Python To C++: State-Of-The-Art Graph Compilation

Balancing Workloads In AI Processor Designs
By Ann Mutschler - 11 Sep, 2025 - Comments: 0

A growing number of AI processors are being designed around specific workloads rather than standardized benchmarks, optimizing performance and power efficiency, but often with enough flexibility to adapt to future changes. While the fundamentals of matrix multiplication and software optimization still apply, those alone are no longer sufficient. Designs need to address specific data types, w... » read more

Government Funding For Chip Design Tools Spreads
By Liz Allan - 28 Aug, 2025 - Comments: 0

Governments around the globe are starting to invest more heavily in chip design tools and related research as part of an effort to boost on-shore chip production, opening new opportunities for startups and established EDA companies. Those cash infusions, which are being doled out in the U.S., Europe, and Asia, are part of a growing recognition of the importance of design automation tools wit... » read more

Reliable Training Data Paramount To AI Model Success
By Ann Mutschler - 14 Aug, 2025 - Comments: 0

AI systems are increasingly being integrated into safety- and mission-critical applications ranging from automotive to health care and industrial IoT, stepping up the need for training data that is reliable, secure, and which is generated from trusted sources. AI activity is growing exponentially, as everybody tries to figure out how to apply it to their domain, application, or workload. In ... » read more

Will New Processor Architectures Raise Energy Efficiency?
By Bryon Moyer - 14 Aug, 2025 - Comments: 1

Data centers continue to heat up as new processors consume more energy than ever before. Cooling is the primary weapon against the heat these processors generate, but it won’t be able to keep up forever with traditional processor architectures. New ones may be necessary. There are opportunities today to make well-known architectures more energy-efficient, but the number of options for subs... » read more

That’s Not A DSP!
By Steve Roddy - 17 Jul, 2025 - Comments: 0

In the 1986 hit comedy movie "Crocodile Dundee," the title character – a rough and tumble Australian transported to the mean streets of New York City – is confronted by street thugs brandishing a switchblade knife who demand his wallet. In response he cooly smirks and pulls a knife out of his belt that is 10 times the size of the would-be assailants’ weapon and delivers the signature line... » read more

Often Overlooked, PHYs Are Essential To High-Speed Data Movement
By Ann Mutschler - 17 Jul, 2025 - Comments: 0

Over the past couple of decades, the semiconductor industry has evolved from a supporting role for traditional verticals like mobile, automotive, and PCs to a foundational role in those markets, as well as in AI factories and hyperscale data centers. Underlying this transformation is the physical layer (PHY), which has emerged as a critical enabler for data transfer and communications. The P... » read more

The Coming NPU Population Collapse
By Steve Roddy - 12 Jun, 2025 - Comments: 0

At some point in everyone’s teenage years of schooling we were all taught in a nature or biology class about cycles of population surges and then inevitable population collapses. Whether the example was an animal, plant, insect or even bacteria, some external event triggers a rapid surge in the population of a species which leads to overpopulation and competition for resources (food, space, s... » read more

RISC-V’s Increasing Influence
By Brian Bailey - 12 Jun, 2025 - Comments: 2

The industry is increasingly talking about benefits brought by the RISC-V architecture, but is it even the right starting point? While it may not be perfect, it may provide the flexibility necessary to move forward gradually. Computer architectures and software have followed in the footsteps of processors developed 80 years ago. They aimed to solve sequential, scalar arithmetic problems usin... » read more
