How Memory Technology Is Powering the Next Era of Compute

How Memory Technology Is Powering the Next Era of Compute

How AI is Shaping the Memory Market Title Slide

For more than a decade, progress in artificial intelligence has been framed almost entirely through the lens of compute. Faster GPUs, denser accelerators, and higher TOPS defined each new generation. But as generative and agentic AI enter their next phase, that framing is no longer sufficient. The most advanced AI systems today… Read More

agentic debug cppcon

Many moons ago in the Innovation series we explored techniques like spectrum analysis to root-cause bugs. While these methods provide some value they don’t get as close as we would like to isolating a root-cause. In hindsight given what we know about the complexity of conventional debug it is unsurprising that we can’t root-cause… Read More

Why PDF Solutions Is Positioning Itself at the Center of the Semiconductor Ecosystem
by Kalar Rajendiran on 02-10-2026 at 6:00 am

PDF Solutions Thank You

The semiconductor industry is on track to exceed one trillion dollars in annual revenue by the end of the decade, propelled by AI, advanced computing, and edge applications. Yet beneath this growth lies a structural shift. Manufacturing complexity is rising faster than the industry’s ability to manage it. As architectures move… Read More


Gate-All-Around (GAA) Technology for Sustainable AI

Gate-All-Around (GAA) Technology for Sustainable AI
by Daniel Nenni on 02-09-2026 at 8:00 am

Gate All Around Technology for Sustainable AI SemiWiki

The transition from FinFET to Gate-All-Around (GAA) transistor technology represents a pivotal moment in the evolution of logic devices, driven by both physical scaling limits and the rapidly growing computational demands of artificial intelligence. As semiconductor technology approaches the sub-3 nm regime, traditional… Read More


Beyond Transformers. Physics-Centric Machine Learning for Analog

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

By Alain-Serge Porret, Vice President, Integrated & Wireless Systems, CSEM

Since ramping up several years ago, the global semiconductor and artificial intelligence (AI) race has been driven by scale, from building larger data centers, developing bigger and more powerful models, and with them, increasingly complex and… Read More

IEDM 2025 SemiWiki

It is hard to believe this conference is older than most all of the participants, including myself. The amount of history behind this conference is amazing. Back in 1955 the meeting began as the Electron Devices Meeting (EDM), organized by what later became the IEEE Electron Devices Society. Its core purpose was to bring together… Read More

2025 Retrospective. Innovation in Verification

2025 Retrospective. Innovation in Verification
by Bernard Murphy on 01-29-2026 at 6:00 am

Innovation New

As usual in January we start with a look back at the papers we reviewed last year. Paul Cunningham (GM, Verification at Cadence), Raúl Camposano (Silicon Catalyst, entrepreneur, former Synopsys CTO and lecturer at Stanford, EE292A) and I continue our series on research ideas. As always, feedback welcome.

Looking back at 2025
