One of the goals of the recent RISC-V Summit was to demonstrate that the RISC-V movement is real – major programs by large organizations committing to development around the RISC-V ISA. I would say this goal was achieved. Many high-profile announcements and aggressive, new architectures based on RISC-V were presented. On day … Read More
IEDM: TSMC Ongoing Research on a CFET Process
I attended the recent International Electron Devices Meeting (IEDM) last week. Many of the sessions are too technical and too far away from high volume manufacture to make good topics for a blog post. As a Fellow from IBM said about 5nm at and earlier IEDM, “none of these ideas will impact 5nm. It takes ten years for a solution to from… Read More
An Insider’s View of the 2023 Global Semiconductor Alliance’s (GSA) Annual Awards
My beautiful wife and I attended the annual Global Semiconductor Alliance (GSA) Awards event last week. Usually this is a solo event but since my wife is CFO of SemiWiki I was able to get her an invite. I go every year and she wanted to see what all of the excitement was about. She also knows quite a few industry people from attending the… Read More
WEBINAR: FPGA-Accelerated AI Speech Recognition
The three-step conversational AI (CAI) process – automatic speech recognition (ASR), natural language processing, and text-to-synthesized speech response – is now deeply embedded in the user experience for smartphones, smart speakers, and other devices. More powerful large language models (LLMs) can answer more queries… Read More
WEBINAR: Joint Pre synthesis RTL & Power Intent Assembly flow for Large System on Chips and Subsystems
Nowadays, low power design requirements are key for large SoCs (system on chips) for different applications: AI, Mobile, HPC, etc. Power intent management early in the design flow is becoming crucial to help facing PPA (Power Performance Area) design challenges.
With the increasing complexity of such … Read More

For more than 65 years, the IEEE International Electron Devices Meeting (IEDM) has been the world’s pre-eminent forum for reporting technological breakthroughs in the areas of semiconductor and electronic device technology, design, manufacturing, physics, and modeling. As I post this, the conference is underway in San Francisco… Read More
Webinar: “Navigating our AI Wonderland” … with humans-in-the-Loop?
AI is here, there, and absolutely everywhere – now and forever.
The electronics industry, and the world at-large, have experienced an overwhelming amount of AI coverage this year, with no letup in store for 2024. Both EE Times and Silicon Catalyst have recently staged events around artificial intelligence:
- “AI Everywhere” delivered
RISC-V Summit Buzz – Axiomise Accelerates RISC-V Designs with Next Generation formalISA®
If the recent RISC-V Summit proved one thing it’s that open-source hardware design, and particularly the RISC-V instruction set architecture (ISA) has entered the mainstream. It is a design methodology and architecture to watch closely. Across a broad range of applications from data center, to automotive, to IoT, RISC-V processors… Read More
