Will 50% of New High Performance Computing (HPC) Chip Designs be Multi-Die in 2025?
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

Heterogeneous Chiplets Design and Integration
Over the recent years, the volume and velocity of discussions relating to chiplets have intensified. A major reason for this is the projected market opportunity. According to research firm Omdia, chiplets driven market is expected to be $6B by 2024 from just $645M in 2018. That’s an impressive nine-fold projected increase over… Read More
Simulation and Analysis of Power and Thermal Management Policies
Earlier this month I blogged about Power Management Policies for Android Devices, so this blog is part two in the series and delves into the details of using ESL-level tools for simulation and analysis. The motivation behind all of this is to optimize a power management system during the early design phase, instead of waiting until… Read More
Mission Critical Role of Unmanned Systems – How to fulfill?
Do we ever imagine what kind of severe challenges mission critical unmanned systems in air, land and underwater face? They are limited in space and size; have to be light in weight, flexible in different types of operations and at the same time rugged enough to work in extreme climatic conditions. That’s not enough; amidst these … Read More
