If you are working on complex Artificial Intelligence (AI) or Machine Learning (ML) or Deep Learning (DL) designs using advanced node processes, you will understand the motivations for optimising CPU utilisation, device power and processing speed. Cutting-edge AI, ML & DL chips, by their very nature, are susceptible to intra-die process variability. Designers are often …
Designing complex, mixed-signal IPs is extremely challenging. Traditionally, timing is verified using measurements extracted from dynamic simulations. However, as this is vector-dependent, it relies heavily on designer expertise to select the correct set of critical paths. Often, this approach does not cover all the necessary timing checks across all operational modes and process corners. Failing …
The explosion of AI and pervasive intelligence has created an exponential demand for increasing compute power, best addressed using GPUs (Graphics Processing Unit) and FPGAs (Field Programmable Gate Arrays). This is accomplished by providing a HW platform that runs computationally intensive machine learning algorithms fast and efficiently. That said, both GPU and FPGA vendors have …
