#AI and high performance computing demands have revolutionized the silicon, leading to a race to create the most massive and fastest designs achievable. At Baya Systems, we are witnessing the emergence of multi PB/s bi-section bandwidth within package, surpassing wire bandwidth growth physics. Outdated legacy communication solutions result in excessive power and area (x++% power, area for x% perf gain). This is unsustainable and calls for a transformation in on- and inter-chiplet communication and optimization strategies. In the race of high performance computing and AI silicon development, prioritizing #chiplet and on-chip communication for multi PB/s bandwidth is not only critical to win but just to stay in the game.

#Startup Tackles #Chiplet Design Complexity 💡 Baya Systems is coming out of stealth mode to take the guess work out of #chiplets 👏 In a briefing with EE Times | Electronic Engineering Times, Nandan Nayampally, Baya’s chief commercial officer, said that with #SoC and chiplet system design, as well as #software development complexity exploding, there is also a growing need to accelerate analysis, design, and deployment of chiplets. He said Baya’s broader agenda is to tackle the data movement bottleneck faced by #AI workloads in #heterogeneous #computing environments, or what Baya said is now “intelligent compute.” Nayampally said a more cohesive system is necessary to reduce data movement, even as more complex #memory hierarchies and processing solutions are coupled together. Chiplets provide a solution but even with standardization, there is a need for tools to support an end-to-end workflow as software development for both them and SoCs gets more complex, he added.

#Samsung Tapes Out Its First 3nm #Smartphone #SoC, Gets A Boost From Synopsys Inc #AI-Enabled Tools 💡 This week Samsung Electronics and #Synopsys announced that Samsung has taped out its first mobile system-on-chip on Samsung Foundry's 3nm gate-all-around (GAA) process #technology. The announcement, coming from electronic design automation Synopsys, further notes that Samsung used the Synopsys.ai EDA suite to place-n-route the layout and verify design of the SoC, which in turn enabled higher performance. Samsung's unnamed high-performance mobile SoC relies on 'flagship' general-purpose #CPU and #GPU architectures as well as various #IP blocks from Synopsys. SoC designers used Synopsys.ai #EDA #software, including the Synopsys DSO.ai to fine-tune design and maximize yields as well as Synopsys Fusion Compiler RTL-to-GDSII solution to achieve higher performance, lower power, and optimize area (#PPA). And while the news that Samsung has developed a high-performance SoC using the Synopsys.ai suite is important, there is another, even more important dimension to this announcement: this means that Samsung has finally taped out an advanced smartphone application #processor on its cutting-edge #3nm ##GAAFET process.

Kudos to India for once again leveling the global Chip playing field, But more; they're sending our acute (unnamed) bipolars into Race condition, as it were, fixated as they are on the imaginary Hun-threat. For me, the dev-chasers' lives are now a bit Better for not having to go standing in line only at Alibaba's, when Baba next door can also supply the goods. But it really depends on extant karma among the pool of India's involved Founders if these packages shall be fitted onto accessible Devboards with reasonable (solderfree) headers into SCSI-like data bus for meaningful stacking or customized for just exclusive highest bidder fab lock.

At MWC Shanghai last week, I had the pleasure of speaking with Qualcomm's CFO and COO, Akash Palkhiwala.  Qualcomm is on a roll, dominating the premium smartphone market with its Snapdragon chips and making significant strides in the PC space. Our conversation highlighted Qualcomm's strategic diversification. Akash emphasised how their expertise in multiple technologies (cellular, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, cameras, displays, AI) is being leveraged to transform industries beyond smartphones. During the interview we spoke about: 🔘 AI-Powered PCs: Qualcomm's entry into the PC market is gaining momentum, driven by their "AI-first" approach. Their chips enable powerful on-device AI processing, offering enhanced privacy, security, and lower latency. 🔘 The Future of AI: Akash envisions AI transforming various sectors in stages. Smartphones are already experiencing AI advancements, followed by the automotive industry. He predicts XR will be the next significant beneficiary, with AI assistants revolutionising user experiences. 🔘 Real-World AI Applications: Akash shared a compelling example of how AI is already transforming the automotive sector: Imagine your car's dashboard warning light comes on. Instead of vague alerts, an AI model, trained on the car's repair manual, could diagnose the problem, communicate with you, and even help you schedule a repair appointment. This simple yet powerful application demonstrates AI's potential to enhance user experiences in unexpected ways. I'm grateful to Akash for his insights. The future looks bright for Qualcomm, and I'm excited to see how they continue to drive innovation across various industries. #MWCShanghai #Qualcomm #AI #Semiconductors #Innovation #Telecoms CCS Insight

Delighted to see India driving its semiconductor industry forward with this announcement about a new fab joint ventures between Synopsys Inc and Tata Group. Look forward to helping design complex custom chips for it in our offices in India. From Evertiq.com Tata signs MoA with Synopsys to support forthcoming fab India's industrial giant Tata Electronics has agreed a deal to collaborate with California-headquartered Synopsys on its planned $10.9 billion semiconductor plant. In February, the Indian government approved funding for the country's first 12-inch wafer fab. The foundry will be a joint project run by Tata and Taiwan’s Power Chip, and will be established in the Dholera region of Gujarat. Now momentum is growing around the project. Hence Tata agreeing an MoA that will see the firm use Synopsys’ foundry design platform to design custom semiconductor products for clients once the fab is operational. The two companies will also collaborate on include factory automation, data analytics, computer-aided design and technology transfer. Tata and the Indian government expect the plant to produce 3 billion chips annually at full capacity, and will make chips ranging across 28nm (nanometre), 50nm, 55nm and 90nm nodes. It will cater to customers in smart appliances, railways, automobiles, defence applications and more. Sassine Ghazi, president & CEO of Synopsys, said: “For nearly 30 years, Synopsys has been researching and developing silicon to systems design solutions for customers and investing in workforce development in India.

#Samsung Starts Mass Production of 9th Generation V-NAND: 1Tb 3D TLC NAND 💡 Samsung Electronics has started mass production of its 9th generation of V-NAND #memory. The first dies based on their latest #NAND #tech come in a 1 Tb capacity using a triple-level cell (TLC) architecture, with #data transfer rates as high as 3.2 GT/s. The new 3D TLC NAND memory will initially be used to build high-capacity and high-performance #SSDs, which will help to solidify Samsung's position in the storage market. Diving right in, Samsung is conspicuously avoiding to list the number of layers in their latest generation NAND, which is the principle driving factor in increasing capacity generation-on-generation. The company's current 8th gen V-NAND is 236 layers – similar to its major competitors – and word on the street is that 9th gen V-NAND ups that to 290 layers, though this remains to be confirmed.

The recording of my talk at Arm DevHub Live on 'Using Zephyr to Manage Hardware Supply Chains' just went live: https://lnkd.in/dyu2p8zu It is a short summary of our experiences being an OEM device maker over the last several years at mBedrock and why we rely on The Zephyr Project Does the premise seem far-fetched to you? If not, why aren't you using #ZephyrRTOS yet? 😀 #ZephyrRTOS #Linux #mBedrock #PCBKingdom

The attacched report talks about foundries ranking. In recent months I have been asked which foundries I would choose for a new chip design. While TSMC remains a popular choice, exploring options like Samsung Semiconductor, GlobalFoundries, and Intel Corporation (Missing from the attached list) can offer unique benefits ( specialized processes in III-V, cost models, and scheduling). Today, designing for multiple foundries has been simplified by leveraging IP from suppliers like Cadence Design Systems, Synopsys Inc, and other. #ChipDesign #Foundries #TechnologyIndustry
