The Risk of Not Optimizing Clock Power

The Risk of Not Optimizing Clock Power
by Mike Gianfagna on 02-06-2026 at 6:00 am

The Risk of Not Optimizing Clock Power

Clock power is rarely the issue teams expect to limit advanced-node designs. Yet in many chips today, over-driven clock networks quietly consume disproportionate power, reduce thermal headroom, and can constrain achievable frequency. And all while passing traditional sign-off checks and often remaining locked in through… Read More

Beyond Transformers. Physics-Centric Machine Learning for Analog
by Bernard Murphy on 02-05-2026 at 6:00 am

Physics based learning

Physical AI is an emerging hot trend, popularly associated with robotics though it has much wider scope than compute systems interacting with the physical world. For any domain in which analysis rests on differential equations (foundational in physics), the transformer-based systems behind LLMs are not the best fit for machine… Read More
