A growing trend in system design is the use of multiple ICs mounted in advanced packages, especially in high-performance computing and AI. These modern packages now integrate multiple ICs, often with high-bandwidth memory (HBM), resulting in hundreds of thousands of connections that need proper verification. Traditional… Read More
Memory access speeds are a performance bottleneck in today’s high- speed AI and HPC semiconductor designs. High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) in a 3D heterogeneous integrated (3DHI) system is the optimal solution to break through this “memory wall.” It can achieve data rates exceeding 1 TB/s, critical for AI and data center applications.
3D design with high-bandwidth memory stacks (HBM) has become essential for leading edge semiconductor systems in multiple applications. Hyperscalers depend on large AI accelerator cores supported by 100GB or more of in-package HBM to handle trillion parameter AI models. Autonomous Drive (AD) vehicles may handle smaller … Read More

TechInsights has a new memory report that is worth a look. It is free if you are a registered member which I am. HBM is of great interest and there is a section on emerging and embedded memories for chip designers. Even though I am more of a logic person, memory is an important part of the semiconductor industry. In fact, logic and memory
Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are evolving at an extraordinary pace, powering advancements across industries. As models grow larger and more sophisticated, they require vast amounts of data to be processed in real-time. This demand puts pressure on the underlying hardware infrastructure, particularly… Read More
As the demand for higher performance computing solutions grows, so does the need for faster, more efficient data communication between components in complex multi-die system-on-chip (SoC) designs. In response to these needs, Synopsys has introduced the world’s fastest UCIe-based IP solution, capable of operating at a groundbreaking… Read More
