A recent survey of more than 120 anonymous semiconductor professionals offers a grounded view of how the industry is evaluating non-volatile memory (NVM) technologies—and where things may be heading next.
The 2024 NVM Survey, run in late 2024 and promoted through various semiconductor-related platforms and portals including… Read More
For decades, speculative execution was a brilliant solution to a fundamental bottleneck: CPUs were fast, but memory access was slow. Rather than wait idly, processors guessed the next instruction or data fetch and executed it ‘just in case.’ Speculative execution traces its lineage back to Robert Tomasulo’s work… Read More
LLMs are already simplifying assertion generation but still depend on human-generated natural language prompts. Can LLMs go further, drawing semantic guidance from the RTL and domain-specific training? Paul Cunningham (GM, Verification at Cadence), Raúl Camposano (Silicon Catalyst, entrepreneur, former Synopsys CTO… Read More
Modern vehicles have become quite sophisticated, like a supercomputer on wheels. They integrate a vast number of electronic components, including thousands of chips, to deliver advanced functionalities ranging from infotainment to critical safety systems. This increasing complexity necessitates a robust approach to … Read More
At the recent IPSoC Conference in Silicon Valley, Aparna Tarde gave a talk on the importance of Next-Gen Interconnects to scale AI infrastructure. Aparna is a Sr. Technical Product Manager at Synopsys. A synthesis of the salient points from her talk follows.
The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) is fundamentally… Read More
We all know semiconductor design is getting harder. Much harder when you consider the demands of AI workloads and heterogeneous integration of many chiplets in a single package. This class of system demands co-optimization across the entire design flow. For example, functional verification, thermal analysis, signal and power… Read More
The world of AI algorithms continues to advance at a furious pace, and no industry is more dependent on those advances than automotive. While media and analysts continue to debate whether AI will deliver value in business applications, there is no question that it adds value to cars, in safety, some level of autonomous driving, … Read More
