Most crypto forty-niners died broke in a warehouse full of their computing rigs. Former Ethereum miner CoreWeave took its gold to Wall Street. On June 22, 2026, it joined the Nasdaq-100 — fifteen months after its IPO, nine years after its founders assembled their first GPU rig in a New Jersey office.
The people who built the physical… Read More
Google Cloud offers powerful compute, networking and GPU/TPUs to run your workloads. But how to feed the beast? EDA workloads require a lot of data and scalable storage plays is that data hub which keeps your workloads going. Google worked with NetApp – a premier on-premises choice for EDA shared storage – to build … Read More
As semiconductor manufacturing pushes toward advanced nodes with tighter feature sizes, the optical proximity correction (OPC) workflow is adopting curvilinear masks to achieve the larger process windows that traditional Manhattan geometries cannot deliver.
Traditional Manhattan masks constrain shapes to vertical … Read More
For years, advanced packaging has been described mostly in planar terms: chiplets placed side by side, connected through interposers, bridges, redistribution layers, substrates, and short-reach electrical links. This view remains important. It supports today’s GPU, HBM, chiplet, and 2.5D integration architectures.… Read More
The rapid growth of AI applications in edge devices has created a strong demand for specialized hardware capable of performing high-performance neural network inference under strict power and latency constraints.
