Edge AI And Chiplets
By Andy Heinig - 08 Dec, 2022 - Comments: 0

In the near future, more edge artificial intelligence (AI) solutions will find their way into our lives. This will be especially true in the private sector for applications in the field of voice input and analysis of camera data, which will become well-established. These application areas require powerful AI hardware to be able to process the corresponding continuously accumulating data volumes... » read more

An Arrangement of Chiplets That Outperforms A Grid Arrangement (ETH Zurich / U. of Bologna)
By Technical Paper Link - 01 Dec, 2022 - Comments: 0

A research paper titled "HexaMesh: Scaling to Hundreds of Chiplets with an Optimized Chiplet Arrangement" was published by researchers at ETH Zurich and University of Bologna. Abstract: "2.5D integration is an important technique to tackle the growing cost of manufacturing chips in advanced technology nodes. This poses the challenge of providing high-performance inter-chiplet interconnects ... » read more

Is UCIe Really Universal?
By Brian Bailey - 22 Nov, 2022 - Comments: 3

Chiplets are rapidly becoming the means to overcome the slowing of Moore's Law, but whether one interface is capable of joining them all together isn't clear yet. The Universal Chiplet Interconnect Express (UCIe) believes it will work, but some in the industry remain unconvinced. At least part of the problem is that interconnect standards are never truly finished. Even today, the protocols tha... » read more

The Politics Of Standards
By Brian Bailey - 22 Nov, 2022 - Comments: 1

Standards often are seen as an industry coming together to agree upon a common solution to a common problem, but there are times when this could not be further from the truth. Having been involved in standards at all levels — from participant to chair for several standards — some were successful, some were not, some are seeing significant adoption while others are withering by the wayside, ... » read more

Raising IP Integration Up A Level
By Brian Bailey - 27 Oct, 2022 - Comments: 0

An increase in the number and complexity of IP blocks, coupled with changing architectures and design concerns, are driving up the need for new tools that can enable, automate, and optimize integration in advanced chips and packages. Power, security, verification and a host of other issues are cross-cutting concerns, and they make pure hierarchical approaches difficult. Adding to future comp... » read more

GLink offers the industry’s highest optimized interconnect solution for both CoWoS and InFO packaging technologies. The GUC and proteanTecs collaboration started with GUC’s second generation of GLink, known as GLink 2.0. The project target was... » read more

How Memory Design Optimizes System Performance
By John Koon - 21 Sep, 2022 - Comments: 0

Exponential increases in data and demand for improved performance to process that data has spawned a variety of new approaches to processor design and packaging, but it also is driving big changes on the memory side. While the underlying technology still looks very familiar, the real shift is in the way those memories are connected to processing elements and various components within a syste... » read more

What Is UCIe?
By Manuel Mota - 13 Sep, 2022 - Comments: 0

The semiconductor industry is undertaking a major strategy shift towards multi-die systems. The shift is fueled by several converging trends: Size of monolithic SoCs is becoming too big for manufacturability Some SoC functionalities may require different process nodes for optimal implementation Desire for enhanced product scalability and composability is increasing Multi-die syste... » read more
