Using virtual prototypes alongside early accessible performance models of new SoC or Chiplet architectures has become the de facto standard for early architecture performance modeling, exploration, and analysis. However, as designs and tools become increasingly complex, these virtual
Predictions in technology adoption often hinge on a delicate balance between technical feasibility and market dynamics. While business considerations play a pivotal role, the technical category reasons for the success or failure of a prediction are more tangible and often easier to identify—if scrutinized with care. However,… Read More
