The Significance of Sparsity

Tensilica DNA 100 Processor IP and the Challenges of On-Device AI

What has sparsity done for you lately? In this episode of Fish Fry, we investigate the challenges that surround on-device artificial intelligence processing. Megha Daga (Cadence Design Systems) and I discuss the why the presence of zeroes is becoming more and more important in the development of neural networks and how sparsity can be used for bandwidth and compute reduction. In this week’s News You May Have Missed, we check out how the the University of Adelaide is making huge strides in quantum memory technology with a little help from an atomic tractor beam and the world’s first “waveguide trap”.

A game-changer for IP designers: design-stage verification

Sponsored by Siemens Digital Industries Software

In this new technical paper, you’ll gain valuable insights into how, by moving physical verification earlier in the IP design flow, you can locate and correct design errors sooner, reducing costs and getting complex designs to market faster. Dive into the challenges of hard, soft and custom IP creation, and learn how to run targeted, real-time or on-demand physical verification with precision, earlier in the layout process.

Choosing the Ideal Semiconductor Technology for your Topology
Sponsored by Mouser Electronics and Infineon
Wide band gap semiconductor materials are great choices for next generation power converter switches. In this episode of Chalk Talk, Amelia Dalton and Matthew Reynolds from Infineon explore the benefits and tradeoffs of GaN, silicon junction or Silicon carbide power switching technology, the importance that body diode performance plays in these solutions and how you can take advantage of gallium nitride, silicon carbide, and silicon junction wide band gap power solutions in your next design.
