As more AI applications turn to edge computing to reduce latencies, the need for more computational performance at the edge continues to increase. However, commodity compute engines don’t have enough compute power or are too power-hungry to meet the needs of edge systems. Thus, when designing AI accelerators for the edge, Joe… Read More

protocol stack 1

Over the last few years, the design of application-specific ICs as well as high-performance CPUs and other complex ICs has hit a proverbial wall. This wall is built from several issues: first, chip sizes have grown so large that they can fill the entire mask reticle and that could limit future growth. Second, the large chip size impacts… Read More

cxl standards 1

Although version 2.0 of the Computer Express Link (CXL) standard is just making it into new designs, the next generation, version 3.0, has been approved and is now ready for designers to implement the new silicon and firmware needed to meet the new standard’s performance specifications. CXL, an open industry-standard interconnect,… Read More
