Once upon a time, integrated circuits (ICs) were built by the same companies that designed them. The design of an IC was tightly integrated with the manufacturing processes available within each ...

A team of researchers at Penn State have devised a new, streamlined approach to designing metasurfaces, a class of engineered ...

There are a host of hardware accelerators for various machine-learning ML models. To wit, Renesas has come up with a ternary SRAM-based system to accelerate convolutional-neural-network (CNN) ...

Artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) are certainly hot topics these days, but the nuances and details are often lost in the hype and high-level views of the solutions. Even dropping ...

We all love coming up with ideas and solutions to problems, but if we do not carefully consider our approach to the development of the solution, what we manufacture may not meet the client’s needs.

Video standards and methods of encoding/decoding have made tremendous progress over the last decade with the availability of large system-on-a-chip (SOC) solutions using ASSPs, ASICs, or FPGAs. The ...

Identify needs, which may include the learning context and audience. How do you get there? Start with writing goals and learning objectives, then focus on assessments, learning activities, and ...

Process design kits consist of a set of files that typically contain descriptions of the basic building blocks of the process. They are expressed, algorithmically, as Pcells. These descriptions are ...
