Arteris Empowering Advances in Inference Accelerators

Arteris Empowering Advances in Inference Accelerators
by Bernard Murphy on 11-06-2024 at 6:00 am

NoC Tiling min

Systolic arrays, with their ability to highly parallelize matrix operations, are at the heart of many modern AI accelerators. Their regular structure is ideally suited to matrix/matrix multiplication, a repetitive sequence of row-by-column multiply-accumulate operations. But that regular structure is less than ideal … Read More

Cadence Power Module Design Process

As electric vehicles (EVs) gain widespread adoption, safety, reliability, and efficiency are becoming increasingly important. A crucial component in ensuring these aspects is the power module (PM), which manages the energy flow between the EV battery and the motor. The design of these power modules must not only meet the high-performance… Read More


EVs, Silicon Carbide & Soitec’s SmartSiC™: The High-Tech Spark Driving the Future (with a Twist!)

EVs, Silicon Carbide & Soitec’s SmartSiC™: The High-Tech Spark Driving the Future (with a Twist!)

Safety Grading in DNNs. Innovation in Verification

Safety Grading in DNNs. Innovation in Verification
by Bernard Murphy on 09-25-2024 at 6:00 am

Innovation New

How do you measure safety for a DNN? There is no obvious way to screen for a subset of safety-critical nodes in the systolic array at the heart of DNNs. Paul Cunningham (GM, Verification at Cadence), Raúl Camposano (Silicon Catalyst, entrepreneur, former Synopsys CTO and now Silvaco CTO) and I continue our series on research ideas.… Read More

car 5 copy small

Even for experienced technologists some technologies can seem almost indistinguishable from magic. One example is the bird’s eye camera view available on your car’s infotainment screen. This view appears to be taken from a camera hovering tens of feet above your car. As an aid to parallel parking, it’s a brilliant invention; … Read More


Bluetooth 6.0 Channel Sounding is Here

Bluetooth 6.0 Channel Sounding is Here
by Bernard Murphy on 09-11-2024 at 6:00 am

car keyless entry

I posted a blog on this topic a year ago. Now the Bluetooth Sig has (just) ratified the standard it is timely to provide a reminder on what this new capability can offer. Channel Sounding introduced in Bluetooth Core specification version 6.0 is a method to significantly increase the accuracy of Bluetooth-based distance measurements,… Read More
