Table 1

In 2003, legendary computer architect Michael J. Flynn issued a warning that most of the industry wasn’t ready to hear. The relentless march toward more complex CPUs—with speculative execution, deep pipelines, and bloated instruction handling—was becoming unsustainable. In a paper titled “Computer Architecture … Read More

multi die use cases min

I am tracking the shift to multi-die design, so it’s good to see Arteris extend their NoC expertise, connecting chiplets across an interposer. After all, network connectivity needs don’t stop at the boundaries of chiplets. A multi-die package is at a logical level just a scaled-up SoC for which you still need traffic routing and… Read More
