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
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
The annual SNUG (Synopsys Users Group) conference, now in its 35th year, once again brought together key stakeholders to showcase accomplishments, discuss challenges, and explore opportunities within the semiconductor and electronics industry. With approximately 2,500 attendees, SNUG 2025 served as a dynamic hub for collaboration… Read More
Generative AI is dramatically changing the compute power that must be delivered by advanced designs. This demand has risen by more than 10,000 times in the past five to six years. This increased demand has impacted the entire SoC design flow. We are now faced with going beyond 1 trillion transistors per chip, and systems now consist… Read More
Memory testing in the early days of computing was a relatively straightforward process. Designers relied on simple, deterministic approaches to verify the functionality of memory modules. However, as memory density increased and systems became more complex, the likelihood of faults also rose. With advancements in memory… Read More
The security of a device or system depends mainly on being unable to infer or guess an alphanumeric code needed to gain access to it or its data, be that a password or an encryption key. In automotive applications, the security requirement goes one step further – an attacker may not gain access per se, but if they can compromise vehicle… Read More
Last week, Synopsys announced an expansion of their Hardware-Assisted Verification (HAV) portfolio to accelerate semiconductor design innovations. These advancements are designed to meet the increasing demands of semiconductor complexity, enabling faster and more efficient verification across software and hardware… Read More
Artificial intelligence and machine learning have undergone incredible changes over the past decade or so. We’ve witnessed the rise of convolutional neural networks and recurrent neural networks. More recently, the rise of generative AI and transformers. At every step, accuracy has been improved as depicted in the graphic… Read More
The exponential growth of cloud data centers is well-known. Driven by the demands of massive applications like generative AI, state-of-the-art data centers present substantial challenges in terms of power consumption. And AI is poised to drive a 160% increase in data center power demand while also increasing demands on storage… Read More
Predictions in technology adoption often hinge on a delicate balance between technical feasibility and market dynamics. While business considerations play a pivotal role, the technical category reasons for the success or failure of a prediction are more tangible and often easier to identify—if scrutinized with care. However,… Read More
