Managing The Huge Power Demands Of AI Everywhere
By Ann Mutschler - 14 Nov, 2024 - Comments: 1

Before generative AI burst onto the scene, no one predicted how much energy would be needed to power AI systems. Those numbers are just starting to come into focus, and so is the urgency about how to sustain it all. AI power demand is expected to surge 550% by 2026, from 8 TWh in 2024 to 52 TWh, before rising another 1,150% to 652 TWh by 2030. Commensurately, U.S. power grid planners have do... » read more

Providing Line-Rate Network Security With MACsec
By Maxim Demchenko - 07 Nov, 2024 - Comments: 0

Network security protocols are the primary means of securing data in motion; that is, data communicated between closely connected physical devices or between devices and even virtual machines connected using a complex, geographically distributed infrastructure. This blog will explore Media Access Control security (MACsec) and how it can be used to provide foundational level network security for... » read more

Automotive OEMs Focus On SDVs, Zonal Architectures
By Ann Mutschler - 07 Nov, 2024 - Comments: 0

Giant automotive OEMs are re-evaluating how quickly to move to advanced technologies and software-driven designs amid crushing financial pressure from low-cost EVs developed in other markets such as China. U.S., European, and Japanese OEMs have been struggling for the past half-decade or so to figure out which is the best approach to developing EVs, undergoing multiple shifts in both hardwar... » read more

AI Drives IC Design Shifts At The Edge
By Adam Kovac and Ed Sperling - 07 Nov, 2024 - Comments: 0

The increasing adoption of AI in edge devices, coupled with a growing demand for new features, is forcing chipmakers to rethink when and where data gets processed, what kind of processors to use, and how to build enough flexibility into systems to span multiple markets. Unlike in the cloud, where the solution generally involves nearly unlimited resources, computing at the edge has sharp cons... » read more

Chip Industry Week In Review

Siemens announced plans to acquire Altair Engineering, a provider of industrial simulation and analysis, data science, and high-performance computing (HPC) software, for about $10 billion. Altair's software will become part of Siemens' Xcelerator portfolio and provide a boost to physics-based digital twins. Onto Innovation bought Lumina Instruments, a San Jose, California-based maker of lase... » read more

Chip Industry Week In Review
By The SE Staff - 18 Oct, 2024 - Comments: 0

Arm joined forces with Korea's Samsung Foundry, ADTechnology, and Rebellions to create a CPU chiplet platform for AI training and inference. The new chiplet will be based on Samsung's 2nm gate-all-around technology. Intel and AMD, arch competitors for decades, formed an x86 ecosystem advisory group to collaborate on architectural interoperability and simplify software development. Samsung... » read more

GDDR7 Memory Supercharges AI Inference
By Tim Messegee - 17 Oct, 2024 - Comments: 0

GDDR7 is the state-of-the-art graphics memory solution with a performance roadmap of up to 48 Gigatransfers per second (GT/s) and memory throughput of 192 GB/s per GDDR7 memory device. The next generation of GPUs and accelerators for AI inference will use GDDR7 memory to provide the memory bandwidth needed for these demanding workloads. AI is two applications: training and inference. With tr... » read more

Mass Customization For AI Inference
By Ann Mutschler - 17 Oct, 2024 - Comments: 0

Rising complexity in AI models and an explosion in the number and variety of networks is leaving chipmakers torn between fixed-function acceleration and more programmable accelerators, and creating some novel approaches that include some of both. By all accounts, a general-purpose approach to AI processing is not meeting the grade. General-purpose processors are exactly that. They're not des... » read more

Confidential Computing: A Key To Secure Cloud And Edge Environments
By Raj Uppala - 10 Oct, 2024 - Comments: 0

Historically, data security was primarily focused on safeguarding data residing within systems controlled by the users themselves, such as on-premise storage and server infrastructure. In such a siloed environment, information stored on the storage media, Data-at-Rest, was encrypted to ensure security. Data-in-Motion (aka Data-in-Transit) was safeguarded by encrypting it before transmitting it ... » read more

Managing Legacy In Automotive
By Ann Mutschler - 10 Oct, 2024 - Comments: 0

Experts At The Table: The automotive ecosystem is in the midst of an intense evolution as OEMs and tiered providers grapple with how to deal with legacy technology while incorporating ever-increasing levels of autonomy, electrification, software defined vehicle concepts, just to name a few. Semiconductor Engineering sat down to discuss these and other related issues with Wayne Lyons, senior dir... » read more
