Latest in the VisualSim World
This is our sixth newsletter and the second of 2022. It has been a very satisfying search to find new information. Please drop me an email if you have special requests or alternate topics to discuss.
As more products and System-on-Chips (SoC) are integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) Accelerators, the space on boards and semiconductors is becoming very tight. You have CPU for general applications, GPU for graphics, DSP for signal processing, Audio/MPEG for media, NPU for protocol handling, accelerators and now, AI accelerators. All these technologies are attached to an AXI Bus, Network-on-Chip, Token Ring or a proprietary interconnect.
Predicting the traffic impact and scheduling the AI tasks is a major challenge that cannot be easily understood using a spreadsheet. To complicate matters, add the impact of power consumption and capacity efficiency. Mirabilis Design’s upcoming webinar in March presents the methodology and results of a system-level experiments on trade-offs between power, response time and functional obtained through AI Accelerators.
