The Next Disruption

By Steve Roddy - 09 Feb, 2023 - Comments: 0

Machine learning (ML) is an inherently disruptive technology because the algorithm architectures are evolving so fast and are very compute intensive, requiring innovative silicon for acceptable performance. This blog looks at where we’ve been and where ML is going – into another market ready for disruption. ML started in the data center In the early days of the ML explosion – a mere 8 o... » read more

Disaggregating And Extending Operating Systems

By Karen Heyman - 09 Feb, 2023 - Comments: 0

The push toward disaggregation and customization in hardware is starting to be mirrored on the software side, where operating systems are becoming smaller and more targeted, supplemented with additional software that can be optimized for different functions. There are two main causes for this shift. The first is rising demand for highly optimized and increasingly heterogeneous designs, which... » read more

Chiplets Taking Root As Silicon-Proven Hard IP

By Ann Mutschler - 09 Feb, 2023 - Comments: 0

Chiplets are all the rage today, and for good reason. With the various ways to design a semiconductor-based system today, IP reuse via chiplets appears to be an effective and feasible solution, and a potentially low-cost alternative to shrinking everything to the latest process node. To enable faster time to market, common IP or technology that already has been silicon-proven can be utilized... » read more

Selecting The Right RISC-V Core

By Brian Bailey - 16 Jan, 2023 - Comments: 0

With an increasing number of companies interested in devices based on the RISC-V ISA, and a growing number of cores, accelerators, and infrastructure components being made available, either commercially or in open-source form, end users face an increasingly difficult challenge of ensuring they make the best choices. Each user likely will have a set of needs and concerns that almost equals th... » read more

Will Floating Point 8 Solve AI/ML Overhead?

By Karen Heyman - 12 Jan, 2023 - Comments: 2

While the media buzzes about the Turing Test-busting results of ChatGPT, engineers are focused on the hardware challenges of running large language models and other deep learning networks. High on the ML punch list is how to run models more efficiently using less power, especially in critical applications like self-driving vehicles where latency becomes a matter of life or death. AI already ... » read more

Operator Anxiety

By Steve Roddy - 12 Jan, 2023 - Comments: 0

Are you one of the early pioneers who have purchased an electric car? In the United States in Q3 2022, 6% of new vehicle sales were pure electric models. Despite all the hype — and significant purchase subsidies in support of battery cars — today only 1% of the cumulative number of vehicles in service in the US are purely plug-in electric. One of the reasons electric car sales have not full... » read more

Growing System Complexity Drives More IP Reuse

By Ann Mutschler - 12 Jan, 2023 - Comments: 1

IP reuse of both third-party and internal IP is growing, but it's also becoming more complex to manage. There is more IP being used, and more systems into which it needs to be integrated, combined with other IP, and tracked throughout an organization. In some cases, this is an economic requirement. In others, designs are so complex that engineering teams need to focus on where they will make... » read more
