Semiwiki Blog Post #1 Image #1

Most of the RISC-V action at the end of June was at the RISC-V Summit Europe, but not all. In fact, a group of well-informed and opinionated experts took over the Pavilion stage at the Design Automation Conference to discuss functional verification challenges for RISC-V and open-source IP.

Analog Bits Builds a Road to the Future at TSMC OIP

The TSMC Open Innovation Platform (OIP) Ecosystem Forum has become the industry benchmark when it comes to showcasing industry-wide collaboration. The extreme design, integration and packaging demands presented by multi-die, chiplet-based design have raised the bar in terms of required collaboration across the entire … Read More


Mobile LLMs Aren’t Just About Technology. Realistic Use Cases Matter

Mobile LLMs Aren’t Just About Technology. Realistic Use Cases Matter

Arm has been making noise about running large language models (LLMs) on mobile platforms. At first glance that sounds wildly impractical, other than Arm acting as an intermediary between a phone and a cloud-based LLM. However Arm are partnered with Meta to run Llama 3.2 on-device or in the cloud, apparently seamlessly. Running… Read More

AI phone

I wrote last year about the challenge Arm Client/Mobile faces in growing in a saturated phone market and how they put a big focus on mobile gaming to stimulate growth. The gaming direction continues but this year they have added (of course) an AI focus, not just to mobile but also to other clients, notably PCs. It would be easy to be cynical… Read More

Arm Automotive Update Stresses Prototyping for Software Development

If you were at all uncertain about auto OEM development priorities, the answer is becoming clear: to accelerate/shift left automotive software development and debug. At 100M lines of code and accelerating, this task is overshadowing all others. A recent Arm update from Dipti Vachani (SVP and GM for the Automotive Line of Business)… Read More

Arteris is Unleashing Innovation by Breaking Down the Memory Wall

There is a lot of discussion about removing barriers to innovation these days. Semiconductor systems are at the heart of unlocking many forms of technical innovation, if only we could address issues such as the slowing of Moore’s Law, reduction of power consumption, enhancement of security and reliability and so on. But there … Read More

Neoverse announcement min

After owning general purpose compute in cell phones and IoT devices, it wasn’t clear what Arm’s next act might be. Seemingly the x86 giants dominated in datacenters and  auguries suggested a bloody war in smaller platforms between Arm and RISC-V. But Arm knew what they were doing all along, growing upwards into infrastructure:… Read More

I confess I am reading tea leaves in this blog, but why not? Arm recently announced Arm Total Design, an expansion of their Compute Subsystems (CSS) offering which made me wonder about the motivation behind this direction. They have a lot of blue-chip partners lined up for this program yet only a general pointer to multi-die systems… Read More

Arm just revealed at HotChips their compute subsystems (CSS) direction led by CSS N2. The intent behind CSS is to provide pre-integrated, optimized and validated subsystems to accelerate time to market for infrastructure system builders. Think HPC servers, wireless infrastructure, big edge systems for industry, city, enterprise… Read More
