The verification of a processor is a lot more complex than a comparably-sized ASIC, and RISC-V processors take this to another layer of complexity.
Semiconductor Engineering sat down to discuss the verification of RISC-V processors with Pete Hardee, group director for product management at Cadence; Mike Eftimakis, vice president for strategy and ecosystem at Codasip; Simon Davidmann, founder…
Processing more data in more places while minimizing its movement becomes a requirement and a challenge.
Movement and management of data inside and outside of chips is becoming a central theme for a growing number of electronic systems, and a huge challenge for all of them.
Entirely new architectures and techniques are being developed to reduce the movement of data and to accomplish more per compute cycle, and to speed the transfer of…
Heterogeneous designs, customization, and increasing complexity open doors for hardware errors.
Disaggregating chips into specialized processors, memories, and architectures is becoming necessary for continued improvements in performance and power, but it’s also contributing to unusual and often unpredictable errors in hardware that are extremely difficult to find….
