HPC Bandwidth Explosion and 1.6T Ecosystem Interop Need
The exponential growth in data bandwidth requirements driven by HPC systems, AI, and ML applications has set the stage for an ever-increasing need for 1.6Tbps Ethernet. As data centers strive to manage vast data transfers with maximum efficiency, the urgency for interoperability… Read More
When people talk about bottlenecks in digital signal processors (DSPs), they usually focus on compute throughput: how many MACs per second, how wide the vector unit is, how fast the clock runs. But ask any embedded AI engineer working on always-on voice, radar, or low-power vision—and they’ll tell you the truth: memory stalls … Read More
Design IP revenues achieved $8.5B in 2024 and this is an all-time-high growth of 20%. Wired Interface is still driving Design IP growth with 23.5% but we see the Processor category also growing by 22.4% in 2024. This is consistent with the Top 4 IP companies made of ARM (mostly focused on processor) and a team leading wired interface… Read More
One-time programmable (OTP) non-volatile memory has been around for a long time. Compared to other non-volatile memory technologies OTP has a smaller footprint and does not require additional manufacturing steps, making it a popular choice to store items such as boot code and encryption keys. While this sounds simple, the growth… Read More
