Large systems companies are pressing EDA vendors for performance improvements to keep pace with their AI workflows. The ...

Joseph Shavit In an effort to meet the rising energy demands of data centers, engineers at the University of California San ...

Experts at the Table: Semiconductor Engineering sat down to discuss the role and impact of AI in chip design with Chuck Alpert, Cadence Fellow; Sathish Balasubramanian, head of product marketing and ...

Open-source tools and multi-project wafer (MPW) shuttles democratize chip design for low cost. Small circuits, both analog and digital, are accommodated by embedding them as “tiles” or “clusters” into ...

A new chip design from UC San Diego could make data centers far more energy-efficient by rethinking how power is converted ...

Data centers squander vast amounts of electricity, most of it as heat. The physical properties of diamond offer a potential solution, researchers say. Data centers squander vast amounts of electricity ...

The chips that datacenters use to run the latest AI breakthroughs generate much more heat than previous generations of silicon. Anybody whose phone or laptop has overheated knows that electronics ...

Extropic is not a normal startup. But then, these are hardly normal times. The company is developing a radical new kind of computer chip that harnesses the thermodynamic fluctuations that naturally ...

Researchers from St. Olaf College built a computer made entirely of mechanical components that can perform simple computations without electricity or batteries.
