The Dilemma Between General Purpose And Domain Specific Semiconductor Solutions

Leave a Comment / BLOG, MANUFACTURING, SEMICONDUCTOR, TECHNOLOGY, XPU /

Photo by Robert Ruggiero on Unsplash The development of new technology always leads to new types of data. Processing varying and vast amounts of data require computer architecture. These architectures balance the latency and throughput to ensure the user experience is not compromised. And to enhance the user experience, the computing industry has been switching between general purpose and domain-specific architectures. However, for future workloads, it has now created a dilemma on which of these two solutions will be dominant. General purpose computing solutions have been around for decades and have been pivotal in enabling day-to-day computing needs. It ranges from servers, desktops, and laptops to different smart devices. General: General Purpose Solution Are Good At Running Any Type Of Workloads. Domain: Domain Specific Are Designed For A Given Domain […]

Photo by Harrison Broadbent on Unsplash Semiconductor companies not only design silicon devices but also (directly and indirectly) power different types of embedded systems. These systems (smart devices, laptops, servers, etc.) cater to consumer and enterprise electronics. And to validate new ideas or prototypes, embedded systems play a crucial role. The embedded board has different silicon devices based on the target application. Almost all major silicon solutions (XPUs, Wireless Chipset, etc.) have an embedded solution that allows software and hardware developers to try out new features or even build new types of applications. System: Semiconductor Devices Are The Building Blocks Of Different Types Of Embedded Systems. Open: Open Embedded Systems Have Enabled Anyone To Explore And Learn About The Different Silicon Blocks. Over the last decade, the embedded system domain

The Semiconductor Value Of More-Than-Moore

Leave a Comment / BLOG, MANUFACTURING, MOORE, SEMICONDUCTOR, TECHNOLOGY /

Photo by Dan Cristian Pădureț on Unsplash The semiconductor industry is all about value creation for the business dependent on it. This value is primarily due to Moore’s first law-driven semiconductor product that brought several generations of computing solutions. And, to ensure the value creation process continues forever, More-Than-Moore solutions are now needed. The need to bring More-Than-Moore is not due to Moore’s first law not applying to the semiconductor industry. More so, it is still a few decades before the semiconductor industry will run out of ways to pack more transistors while also shrinking the area. The fundamental reason to adopt More-Than-Moore solutions is Moore’s second law or Rock’s law, as it is known widely. According to it, the complexity and cost of a new generation of die solutions

The Semiconductor Cyclic Impact On Inventory

Leave a Comment / BLOG, INVENTORY, MANUFACTURING, SEMICONDUCTOR, TECHNOLOGY /

Photo by Andrew Gook on Unsplash The semiconductor market is highly volatile. Positive or negative demand significantly impacts the end-to-end supply chain. Avoiding scenarios requires equilibrium of supply and demand, which is difficult to achieve due to the several variables of the semiconductor supply system. Even with several variables like market demand, manufacturing capacity, cost, and raw material availability, planning is key to ensuring supply and demand are in check. It also leads to an important question of how to achieve a planning-driven equilibrium that ensures the inventory of products good is always as per the market requirement. Cycle: Semiconductor Demand Is Dependent On The Cyclic Nature Of The Market. Stock: Based On The Demand, The Inventory Of A Given Product Goes Up Or Down. Unfortunately, there is no perfect
