Radio Frequency Integrated Circuits (RFICs) Generated by AI Based Design Automation
By Jason Liu, RFIC-GPT Inc.
Radio frequency integrated circuits (RFICs) have become increasingly critical in modern electronic systems, driven by the rapid growth of wireless communication technologies (5G/6G), the Internet of Things (IoT), and advanced radar systems. With the desire for lower power consumption, higher… Read More
Jensen Huang Drops Donald Trump Truth Bomb on Joe Rogan Podcast
How’s that for a clickable title? It really should be called Jensen Huang’s origin story but who is going to click on that?
As podcaster myself I can say without a doubt that this was the best podcast I have listened to all year. During my 30+ EDA and IP career Nvidia was a customer on many different occasions. I do know how… Read More
Why chip design needs industrial-grade EDA AI
By Niranjan Sitapure
Artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping industries worldwide. Consumer-grade AI solutions are getting significant attention in the media for their creativity, speed, and accessibility—from ChatGPT and Meta’s AI app to Gemini for image creation, Sora for video, Sona for music, and Perplexity for web… Read More
Adding Expertise to GenAI: An Insightful Study on Fine-Tuning
I wrote earlier about how deep expertise, say for high-quality RTL design or verification, must be extracted from in-house know-how and datasets. In general, such methods start with one of many possible pre-trained models (GPT, Llama, Gemini, etc.). To this consultants or in-house teams add fine-tuning training, initially… Read More
Learning from In-House Datasets
At a DAC Accellera panel this year there was some discussion on cross-company collaboration in training. The theory is that more collaboration would mean a larger training set and therefore higher accuracy in GenAI (for example in RTL generation). But semiconductor companies are very protective of their data and reports of copyrighted… Read More
The AI PC: A New Category Poised to Reignite the PC Market
The PC industry is entering its most significant transformation since the debut of the IBM PC in 1981. That original beige box ushered in a new era of productivity, reshaping how corporations and individuals worked, communicated, and created.
