At the recent RISC-V Now by Andes conference, Aion Silicon’s presentation made one thing clear: RISC-V is no longer an emerging alternative but rather rapidly becoming foundational to modern silicon design. This conviction is not theoretical says Oliver Jones, CEO of Aion Silicon, who gave the talk. It is grounded in Aion Silicon’s… Read More
The AI Infra Summit is the premier full-stack AI Infrastructure conference, arranged in a modular way that equally enables both enterprises and technology/solution providers to benefit from domain-specific content, all while doing business on the exhibition floor. Our 4 track event is divided
In an era where artificial intelligence workloads are growing in scale, complexity, and diversity, chipmakers are facing increasing pressure to deliver solutions that are not only fast, but also flexible and programmable. Semidynamics recently announced Cervell™, a fully programmable Neural Processing Unit (NPU) designed… Read More
From my vantage point in the EDA foxhole it can be easy to forget that Cadence also has interests in much broader technology domains. One of these is in data center modeling and optimization, through their Cadence Reality Digital Twin Platform. This is an area in which they already have significant track record collaborating with… Read More
As semiconductor technology advances and nodes continue to shrink, designers are faced with increasing challenges related to device complexity, power consumption, and reliability. The delicate balance between high performance, low power usage, and long-term reliability is more critical than ever. This growing demand … Read More
With all the Q2-24 results delivered, it is time to remove the clouds of euphoria and panic, ignore the performance claims and the bugs, and analyse the Data Center business, including examining the supply chain up and downstream. It is time to find out if the AI boom in semiconductors is still alive.
We begin the analysis with the … Read More
That datacenters are power hogs is not news, especially now AI is further aggravating this challenge. I found a recent proteanTecs-hosted panel on power challenges in datacenter infrastructure quite educational both in quantifying the scale of the problem and in understanding what steps are being taken to slow growth in power… Read More
proteanTecs is a unique company, delivering electronics visibility from within. Its core mission is to enable the electronics industry to continue to scale. The company achieves this goal by first embedding on-chip monitors, called Agents, during the design process to generate deep data on the chip’s profiling, health, and… Read More
Design IP revenues had achieved $6.67B in 2022, after $5.56B in 2021, or 20.2% growth after 19.4% in 2021 and 16.7% in 2020. IPnest has released the “Design IP Report” in April 2023, ranking IP vendors by category (CPU, DSP, GPU & ISP, Wired Interface, SRAM Memory Compiler, Flash Memory Compiler, Library and I/O, AMS, Wireless… Read More
I had a chance to preview the subject webinar recently. Yes, it’s a long title, but a very important topic. When it comes to hyper-scale data centers, there are substantial challenges associate with thermal management, power distribution and processing performance. Moortec explores approaches to these issues using their … Read More
