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 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

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
