Week In Review: Automotive, Security and Pervasive Computing
By Linda Christensen - 18 Aug, 2023 - Comments: 0

The AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety estimates that between 2021 and 2050, ADAS technologies currently available to U.S. will prevent "approximately 37 million crashes, 14 million injuries, and nearly 250,000 deaths, which would represent 16% of crashes and injuries, and 22% of deaths that would otherwise occur on U.S. roads without these technologies," according to a new report. Governmen... » read more

Experts at the Table: Semiconductor Engineering sat down discuss how and why companies are dividing up work on-premise and in the cloud, and what to watch out for, with Philip Steinke, fellow, CAD infrastructure and physical design at AMD; Mahesh Turaga, vice president of business development for cloud at Cadence Design Systems; Richard Ho, vice president hardware engineering at Lightmatter; Cr... » read more

Blog Review: Aug. 16
By Jesse Allen - 16 Aug, 2023 - Comments: 0

Synopsys' Johannes Stahl and Tim Kogel suggest that multi-die systems require a new approach at the architecture planning phase and why chip designers can’t ignore physical effects such as layout, power, temperature, or IR-drop. Siemens' Rich Edelman argues for using the waveform window in a GUI rather than $display when debugging UVM. Cadence's Paul Scannell stresses the need for diver... » read more

Why It’s So Difficult To Ensure System Safety Over Time
By Brian Bailey - 14 Aug, 2023 - Comments: 0

Safety is emerging as a concern across an increasing number of industries, but standards and methodologies are not in place to ensure electronic systems attain a defined level of safety over time. Much of this falls on the shoulders of the chip industry, which provides the underlying technology, and it raises questions about what more can be done to improve safety. A crude taxonomy recently ... » read more

Intel issued an advisory of a potential security vulnerability in some of its processors. The company recommends updating to the latest firmware version. NVIDIA unveiled its GH200 Grace Hopper platform, based on 144 Arm Neoverse cores and 282GB of HBM3e memory. Meanwhile, Chinese internet companies including Baidu, ByteDance, Tencent, and Alibaba ordered about $5 billion worth of A800 proces... » read more

Processor Tradeoffs For AI Workloads
By Ann Mutschler - 10 Aug, 2023 - Comments: 0

AI is forcing fundamental shifts in chips used in data centers and in the tools used to design them, but it also is creating gaps between the speed at which that technology advances and the demands from customers. These shifts started gradually, but they have accelerated and multiplied over the past year with the rollout of ChatGPT and other large language models. There is suddenly much more... » read more

MRAM Getting More Attention At Smallest Nodes
By Karen Heyman - 10 Aug, 2023 - Comments: 2

Magneto-resistive RAM (MRAM) appears to be gaining traction at the most advanced nodes, in part because of recent improvements in the memory itself and in part because new markets require solutions for which MRAM may be uniquely qualified. There are still plenty of skeptics when it comes to MRAM, and lots of potential competitors. That has limited MRAM to a niche role over the past couple de... » read more

Developing Energy-Efficient AI Accelerators For Intelligent Edge Computing And Data Centers
By William Ruby - 10 Aug, 2023 - Comments: 0

Artificial intelligence (AI) accelerators are deployed in data centers and at the edge to overcome conventional von Neumann bottlenecks by rapidly processing petabytes of information. Even as Moore’s law slows, AI accelerators continue to efficiently enable key applications that many of us increasingly rely on, from ChatGPT and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) to smart edge device... » read more
