Silicon Catalyst Welcomes You to Our “AI Wonderland”

Regardless of where you grew up you probably know the story of Alice in Wonderland. The story is over 100 years old, but holds up to the present day, thanks in part to some magic from Disney. It evokes visions of a place that elicits admiration and wonder, to create a place of magical charm. In the context of AI, it takes on a more relevant… Read More


Synopsys Panel Updates on the State of Multi-Die Systems

Synopsys Panel Updates on the State of Multi-Die Systems
by Bernard Murphy on 10-12-2023 at 6:00 am

multi die 525x315 light

Synopsys recently hosted a cross-industry panel on the state of multi-die systems which I found interesting not least for its relevance to the rapid acceleration in AI-centric hardware. More on that below. Panelists, all with significant roles in multi-die systems, were Shekhar Kapoor (Senior Director of Product Management,… Read More


Long-standing Roadblock to Viable L4/L5 Autonomous Driving and Generative AI Inference at the Edge

Long-standing Roadblock to Viable L4/L5 Autonomous Driving and Generative AI Inference at the Edge
by Lauro Rizzatti on 10-11-2023 at 6:00 am

Table I

Two recent software-based algorithmic technologies –– autonomous driving (ADAS/AD) and generative AI (GenAI) –– are keeping the semiconductor engineering community up at night.

While ADAS at Level 2 and Level 3 are on track, AD at Levels 4 and 5 are far from reality, causing a drop in venture capital enthusiasm and money. Today,… Read More


Synopsys – TSMC Collaboration Unleashes Innovation for TSMC OIP Ecosystem

Synopsys – TSMC Collaboration Unleashes Innovation for TSMC OIP Ecosystem
by Kalar Rajendiran on 10-10-2023 at 10:00 am

L.C. OIP 2023

As the focal point of the TSMC OIP ecosystem, TSMC has been driving important initiatives over the last few years to bring multi-die systems to the mainstream. As the world is moving quickly toward Generative AI technology and AI-based systems, multi-die and chiplet-based implementations are becoming essential. TSMC recently… Read More


Can Generative AI Recharge Phone Markets?

Can Generative AI Recharge Phone Markets?
by Bernard Murphy on 10-09-2023 at 10:00 am

Consensus on smartphone markets hovers somewhere between slight decline and slight growth indicating lack of obvious drivers for more robust growth. As a business opportunity this unappealing state is somewhat offset by sheer volume ($500B in 2023 according to one source) but we’re already close to peak adoption outside of … Read More

McKinsey & Company Shines a Light on the Impact of Domains Specific Architectures

When we hear McKinsey & Company, we may think of one of the “Big Three” management consultancies.  While that’s true, this firm has a reach and impact that goes far beyond management consulting. According to its website, the firm accelerates sustainable and inclusive growth.  While this is an inspirational statement, the… Read More

The Structure of a Transformer: Attention

Over the last few years, transformers have been fundamentally changing the nature of deep learning models, revolutionizing the field of artificial intelligence. Transformers introduce an attention mechanism that allows models to weigh the importance of different elements in an input sequence. Unlike traditional deep learning… Read More


Assertion Synthesis Through LLM. Innovation in Verification

Assertion Synthesis Through LLM. Innovation in Verification
by Bernard Murphy on 09-28-2023 at 6:00 am

Innovation New

Assertion based verification is a very productive way to catch bugs, however assertions are hard enough to write that assertion-based coverage is not as extensive as it could be. Is there a way to simplify developing assertions to aid in increasing that coverage? Paul Cunningham (Senior VP/GM, Verification at Cadence), Raúl … Read More

Baby Llama min

Tis the season for transformer-centric articles apparently – this is my third within a month. Clearly this is a domain with both great opportunities and challenges: extending large language model (LLM) potential to new edge products and revenue opportunities, with unbounded applications and volumes yet challenges in meeting… Read More
