Tokens Per Watt Over Peak Performance: Retrofitting Heterogeneous Silicon for Production Inference
👉 This is Part 2 of an editorial series on the evolving economics of AI inference. If you missed Part 1, where I broke down the shift toward full-system integration, the lessons from the AI Infra Summit, and the “no forks” open-source philosophy, you can read it HERE: Beyond the Accelerator: Why Silicon Challengers … Read More
S2C Prodigy Complete Prototyping Solutions—and Why They Matter
Modern system-on-chip (SoC) and application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) designs are extraordinarily complex. They may combine processors, accelerators, memory controllers, high-speed interfaces, security functions, and millions—or even billions—of logic gates. Verifying these systems entirely through … Read More
From Custom Silicon to AI Systems: Why Cross-Layer Engineering Matters
The central argument of Ankur Gupta’s AI Infra Summit keynote is simple but consequential: the next leap in AI infrastructure will not come from improving chips, servers, cooling systems, or data centers independently. It will come from optimizing the connections among them. Siemens frames this as a journey “from custom silicon… Read More
