Photo by Laura Ockel on Unsplash THE CHANGING SEMICONDUCTOR BUSINESS MODEL The semiconductor product development requires many businesses (from materials to logistics) to work in harmony. The complex process of fabricating semiconductor devices has also given rise to the cost of development. To lower the expenditure and to survive the
Photo by Laura Ockel on Unsplash THE NEED FOR SEMICONDUCTOR POWERED XPU Every software application eventually has to get executed on a hardware system. Whether the software application is running on a smartphone or a data center, the data processing request has to get decoded (binary instructions) before the hardware
Photo by Vlad Tchompalov on Unsplash THE NEED FOR SEMICONDUCTORS IN AUTOMOTIVE The automotive industry is going through a significant transformation. Countries all over the world are pressing for greener and eco-friendly vehicles. Government policies are getting stricter and demand vehicular technologies that require smarter software and hardware. The de-facto
Photo by Mika Baumeister on Unsplash THE GROWING NEED FOR HETEROGENEITY IN SEMICONDUCTOR The computing world today is all about processing data in real-time. Developers expect their code to compile in milliseconds. Consumers expect applications to respond with zero-delay. All of this requires a seamless communication of different computing components
Photo by david latorre romero on Unsplash THE NEED FOR AI SEMICONDUCTOR CHIPS Multi-Core Processor (MCP) or Chip Multi-Processor (CMP) revolutionized the computing industry. MCP/CMP came up with advanced execution and parallelism techniques. Software took the opportunity provided by the multiple processors fused into the single System-On-A-Chip (SoC). MCP also
Photo by Laura Ockel on Unsplash THE SEMICONDUCTOR AS A SERVICE The software industry has adapted to the demand of business and consumers by changing the licensing and product delivery model over the last three decades. The post-1990 saw standalone one-time fee-based software with no incremental feature updates except security-related and termed
Photo by Laura Ockel on Unsplash THE END-TO-END SEMICONDUCTOR CLUSTER ECOSYSTEM The semiconductor industry is vital for high-tech advancement. From smartphones to satellites, a small piece of silicon forms the base for millions to trillions of data points. It is why worldwide, the semiconductor industry is a Key Enabling Technology
Photo by İsmail Enes Ayhan on Unsplash THE NEED TO PROCESS DATA Internet usage is growing. Every new user generates a new type of data. The technology companies are always eager to process and understand new consumer behavior. It requires continuous research and development of both the software and the
Photo by Luan Gjokaj on Unsplash OVERVIEW Computers are designed to provide real-time feedback to all user requests. To enable such real-time feedback, Central Processing Unit (CPU) is vital. CPU is also referred to as processing units or simply processors. These incredibly small semiconductor units are the brain of the computer and
Photo by Jason Leung on Unsplash THE SEMICONDUCTOR INDUSTRY STATUS In 2020, the semiconductor industry has seen both negative and positive trends. The first half of 2020 showed mostly the negative trend driven by the COVID-19 restrictions, as it lead to slower semiconductor production and increased inventory due to decreasing sales. The second
Hi, I am Chetan Arvind Patil (chay-tun – how to pronounce), a semiconductor professional whose job is turning data into products for the semiconductor industry that powers billions of devices around the world. And while I like what I do, I also enjoy biking, working on few ideas, apart from writing, and talking about interesting developments in hardware, software, semiconductor and technology.
