In the foreseeable future, artificial intelligence will play a significant role in national and international security. Therefore, the U.S. government is considering how to control the dissemination of information and technology related to artificial intelligence. Due to the difficulty in effectively managing general artificial intelligence software, datasets, and algorithms, the computer hardware required for modern … Read more
Chips are one of the greatest inventions of our time. Without the advent of chips, it is hard to imagine what today’s electronic era would look like.Everyone operates a “computer” the size of a house, carrying a huge “phone” while talking to distant friends, albeit with poor sound quality.It is precisely because of the invention … Read more
Source: Content from IP and SOC design, thank you! @Mark: The biggest change in the past decade is low power design. Ten years ago, low power design mainly focused on reducing dynamic power, employing various clock gating techniques, and preventing unused modules from toggling. In the last ten years, static power leakage has become a … Read more
Source: Software-Hardware Integration Author:Chaobowx 1 Software and Hardware 1.1 Definitions of Software and Hardware Instructions are the medium between software and hardware, and the complexity of the instructions determines the degree of decoupling between the system’s software and hardware. Based on the complexity of unit calculations (instructions), processor platforms can be roughly divided into CPU, … Read more
Perhaps some team is designing an embedded inference engine for edge computing, or is furthering automotive vision processing, or perhaps they possess insights in the data center domain that can challenge NVIDIA and Google! However, amidst the broad performance demands, environments, and applications, AI accelerator architectures face unique challenges not only in design but also … Read more
The current mainstream AI chips can be divided into three categories: GPU, FPGA, ASIC. Both GPU and FPGA are relatively mature chip architectures and belong to general-purpose chips. ASICs are chips customized for specific AI scenarios. The industry has confirmed that CPU is not suitable for AI computing, but it is still indispensable in the … Read more
Author | Shawn Ouyang, System Architect at Ruijun Micro UK R&D Center; Dr. Andrew, Fellow at Ruijun Micro UK Research Center 1. Introduction FPGA is a device for implementing programmable digital logic. Similar to circuit architectures like CPU, GPU/NPU and dedicated ASIC, FPGAs have also begun to be widely used for implementing neural networks (NN). … Read more
