Here’s what the presentations selected for the 2026 Hot Chips Conference tell us about what Silicon Valley companies are doing these days.
The conference, running this week at Stanford’s Memorial Auditorium, doesn’t publish detailed abstracts ahead of time, but the program itself, just the lineup of who’s presenting what, … Read More
Extreme-ultraviolet lithography is essential for manufacturing advanced semiconductor devices, but its continued scaling presents a difficult materials problem. Photoresists must simultaneously provide high resolution, low exposure dose, limited line-edge or linewidth roughness, and extremely low defectivity. … Read More
Agentrys believes that a purpose-built multi-agent system for chip design shouldn’t be a quarter-long project. Agentic AI systems are becoming quite popular to cut design time and increase quality for complex chip design projects. The challenge is finding the right agentic flow for a particular application. There are… Read More
Hot Chips 2026, formally the thirty-eighth Symposium on High Performance Chips, arrives at Stanford’s Memorial Auditorium from August 23 through 25 with a program that captures a decisive shift in computer architecture. Peak arithmetic throughput remains important, but the conference is increasingly about system balance:… Read More
This late summer, Quadric is taking its vision for programmable, on-device AI to three of the industry’s most influential gatherings. From advanced processor design at HotChips to scalable deployment at the AI Infra Summit and physical AI at Embedded World North America, each stop offers a different opportunity to see how the… Read More
At the OCP APAC Summit in Taiwan, August 11–12, 2026, Applied Materials’ Subi Kengeri framed artificial intelligence as the semiconductor industry’s largest inflection point. AI demand is accelerating the industry toward one trillion dollars in annual revenue, but the keynote’s central message was more consequential than… Read More
DAC 2026 proved that agentic AI design flows are here to stay. The news was conveyed both by familiar companies who we’ve seen at DAC many times before as well as new entrants to the show and the industry. Many of the solutions that were presented focused on a specific part of the design flow. Others took a broader view of the problem and… Read More
Daniel is joined by Ed Nelson, Strategy Director and Co-Founder of AI Infra Summit. He co-leads the production team and specializes in product strategy and management, keynote speaker acquisition and VIP network development. Ed started the summit in 2018 and has spent nearly ten years as part of the team building AI Infra Summit… Read More
I believe this year’s DAC will be viewed as the time and place where EDA experienced a major shift. That is, the shift from the value of tools and methodology to the value of agentic design flows powered by highly trained agents. The design community will clearly need the tools and methodologies that have occupied DAC for years. But… Read More
A single bug on a full-chip SoC can pull engineers off roadmap work for days or even weeks. It involves massive waveforms, thousands of files of RTL and UVM, and dense specs that aren’t always perfect. Finding these bugs have always been a matter of engineer-hours and how well knowledge diffuses through the organization.
