Designing Resilient Electronics
By Ann Mutschler - 18 Mar, 2020 - Comments: 0

Electronic systems in automobiles, airplanes and other industrial applications are becoming increasingly sophisticated and complex, required to perform an expanding list of functions while also becoming smaller and lighter. As a result, pressure is growing to design extremely high-performance chips with lower energy consumption and less sensitivity to harsh environmental conditions. If this ... » read more

HBM Issues In AI Systems
By Brian Bailey - 16 Mar, 2020 - Comments: 0

All systems face limitations, and as one limitation is removed, another is revealed that had remained hidden. It is highly likely that this game of Whac-A-Mole will play out in AI systems that employ high-bandwidth memory (HBM). Most systems are limited by memory bandwidth. Compute systems in general have maintained an increase in memory interface performance that barely matches the gains in... » read more

HBM2E Memory: A Perfect Fit For AI/ML Training
By Frank Ferro - 12 Mar, 2020 - Comments: 0

Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning (AI/ML) growth proceeds at a lightning pace. In the past eight years, AI training capabilities have jumped by a factor of 300,000 (10X annually), driving rapid improvements in every aspect of computing hardware and software. Memory bandwidth is one such critical area of focus enabling the continued growth of AI. Introduced in 2013, High Bandwidth Memo... » read more

Power Management Becomes Top Issue Everywhere
By Ann Mutschler - 12 Mar, 2020 - Comments: 1

Power management is becoming a bigger challenge across a wide variety of applications, from consumer products such as televisions and set-top-boxes to large data centers, where the cost of cooling server racks to offset the impact of thermal dissipation can be enormous. Several years ago, low-power design was largely relegated to mobile devices that were dependent on a battery. Since then, i... » read more
