Source: EETOP Original Author: EETOP Compilation We need increasingly complex chips and SoCs for all new applications using the latest technologies such as artificial intelligence. For example, Apple’s 5nm SoC A14, which contains 11.8 billion transistors, features a 6-core CPU, a 4-core GPU, and a 16-core NPU engine, capable of performing 11 trillion operations per … Read more
System-on-Chip (SoC) is an integrated circuit that integrates a computing processor and other electronic systems into a single chip. SoCs can handle digital signals, analog signals, mixed signals, and even radio frequency signals, and are often used in embedded systems. Although microcontrollers (MCUs) typically have less than 100 kB of RAM, they are essentially a … Read more
Combining living cell components with a three-dimensional scaffold can be used to develop robots carrying biological tissues. Existing research indicates that this type of robot can possess certain perception and environmental adaptation capabilities. Recently, a joint research team from University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign led by Professors Mattia Gazzola and Rashid Bashir and John A. … Read more
