Qualifying an AI-class RISC-V SoC demands proving that wide vectors, deep caches, and high-speed I/O operate flawlessly long before tape-out. At the recent Andes RISC-V Conference, Andes Technology and S2C showcased this by successfully booting a lightweight large language model (LLM) inference on a single S2C Prodigy™ S8-100… Read More
FPGA-based prototyping offers advantages such as high-speed operation, real-world environment testing, and parallel execution that cannot be matched by software simulations alone. It enables developers to validate their designs and initiate software development long before the final silicon is ready. At the same time,… Read More
As AI and 5G technologies burgeon, the rise of interconnected devices is reshaping everyday life and driving innovation across industries. This rapid evolution accelerates the transformation of the chip industry, placing higher demands on SoC design. Moore’s Law indicates that while chip sizes shrink, the number of… Read More

Prototyping solutions have been in the news a lot lately. And FPGA-based prototyping approach is pretty widely used. On a panel session at DAC 2021, Amir Salek, Head of Silicon for Cloud and Infrastructure at Google had the following to say. Prototyping FPGA is a tremendous platform for testing and validation. We are doubling down… Read More
Now that the 58th Design Automation Conference held this year in San Francisco has concluded, we take a minute to look back at the results and ascertain what it meant for our company.
Unfortunately, many popular tradeshows held in the time of Covid have suffered a drop in attendance, and DAC was no exception. Despite this however,… Read More
We live in the age of big data. No matter how fast and complex modern SoCs are, it all comes down to how quickly data can get in and out that determines the system performance. And, there is a lot of data that today’s systems need to process. Naturally, system interfaces such as PCIe, DDR, HBM, etc., have been evolving rapidly too, to support… Read More
