It was reported byBloomberg of Friday… Read More
The RISC-V open ISA premise was clearly a good bet. It’s taking off everywhere, however verification is still a challenge. As an alternative to Arm, the architecture and functionality from multiple IP providers looks very competitive, but how do RISC-V providers and users ensure the same level of confidence we have in Arm? Arm … Read More

While I usually talk about AI inference on edge devices, for ADAS or the IoT, in this blog I want to talk about inference in the cloud or an on-premises datacenter (I’ll use “cloud” below as a shorthand to cover both possibilities). Inference throughput in the cloud is much higher today than at the edge. Think about support in financial… Read More
Edge AI inference is getting more and more attention as demand grows for AI processing across an increasing number of diverse applications, including those requiring low-power chips in a wide range of consumer and enterprise-class devices. Much of the focus has been on optimizing the neural network processing engine for these… Read More
