Semidynamics AI SemiWiki

AI has changed a lot in the last ten years. In 2012, convolutional neural networks (CNNs) were the state of the art for computer vision. Then around 2020 vison transformers (ViTs) redefined machine learning. Now, Vision-Language Models (VLMs) are changing the game again—blending image and text understanding to power everything… Read More

Memory Hierarchy and the Memory Wall

Computer programs mainly move data around. In the meantime, they do some computations on the data but the bulk of execution time and energy is spent moving data around. In computer jargon we say that applications tend to be memory bound: this means that memory is the main performance limiting … Read More

Atrevido 423 + V16 Vector Unit with its deeper RISC-V pipeline technology, Gazillion

Many modern processor performance benchmarks rely on as many as three levels of cache staying continuously fed. Yet, new data-intensive applications like multithreaded generative AI and 4K image processing often break conventional caching, leaving the expensive execution units behind them stalled. A while back, Semidynamics… Read More
