The Economist

A century ago, 391 San Antonio Road in Mountain View, California, housed an apricot-packing shed. Today, it’s marked by sculptures of diodes and a transistor, commemorating the 1956 founding of Shockley Semiconductor Laboratory—the birthplace of Silicon Valley. William Shockley, co-inventor of the transistor, aimed… Read More


The IO Hub: An Emerging Pattern for System Connectivity in Chiplet-Based Designs

The IO Hub: An Emerging Pattern for System Connectivity in Chiplet-Based Designs

Disaggregation of NoCs min

In chiplet-based design we continue the march of Moore’s Law by scaling what we can put in a semiconductor package beyond the boundaries of what we can build on a single die. This style is already gaining traction in AI applications, high performance computing, and automotive, each of which aims to scale out to highly integrated … Read More

image generation fail

Keeping up with the furious pace of AI innovation probably doesn’t allow a lot of time for deep analysis across many use cases. However I can’t help feeling we’re sacrificing quality and ultimately end user acceptance of AI by prioritizing new capabilities over rigorous productization. I am certain that product companies do rigorous… Read More

Two Perspectives on Automated Code Generation

Two Perspectives on Automated Code Generation
by Bernard Murphy on 09-03-2025 at 6:00 am

pair programming

In engineering development, automated code generation as a pair programming assistant is high on the list of targets for GenAI applications. For hardware design obvious targets would be to autogenerate custom RTL functions or variants on standard functions, or to complete RTL snippets as an aid to human-driven code generation.… Read More
