Maybe I'm dumb, but couldn't they just use an umbrella instead of a separate sattelite?

You clearly have no idea about Turkey and the situation. Watching porn isn't persecuted. The conservetive government just forced ISPs to ban them from their DNS. It was always available by using Google DNS and the whole country does th

not necessarily. feedforward path delay can be zero. typical mistake done while modeling feedback systems in SW.

IFS isn't producing any silicon for Nvidia. That's in high demand.
546.
by bgnn 3y ago
Intel isn't using IFS exclusively anymore. Some Intel designs went to TSMC. Plus, they lost a lot of market share to AMD and Nvidia.

My grandma and mom are doing it like this, for generations as far as I know.

Yeah for within a computer, maybe. But then we're still using inefficient standards like DDR for memory access. There's sooooo much more we can do for copper interconnects while more viable optical tech is being developed. Think a

This! Maybe just integer, but not floating point. That's a ridiculous way to do computation when you don't really need the precision.

Theoretically yes. Though it makes 0 sense and difference in practice. The conversion between electrical and optical isn't straightforward and it isn't cheap to implement now. Let's say we've resolved this. We are still

I think there are numerical solutions possible for any network. Worst case solving KVL KCL to find the equivalent resistance between two nodes is an option. In a real circuit netlist the number of nodes is finite and often you can just igno

Sorry to hear that happened to you. Though as far as I know rabies is eradicated in the dog and cat population in the west of the country, especially in Istanbul. Municipalities vaccinate stray cats and dogs. It happens in the more remote a

I don't think they disclosed their algorithms but both Cadence Spectre-X and Mentor AFS-XT have an "improved" RC matrix solver as they market it. I think Spectre-X was launched at DAC 2019, but I've been using it since 2

Nice write-up. Latest generation circuit simulators don't solve the whole R or RC matrix anymore but they deduce the circuit to an equivalent one between the two points of interest during netlisting. If you have only resistors like thi

It's TSMC. Their rise is waaay before Apple or ARM. Plug and play fab model made getting into semiconductor design as a start-up possible. Broadcom, Qualcomm, Nvidia, Conexant etc all used TSMC in 90s, way before smart phones and ARM-m

I design chips in similar technologies. What these binned parts are fast-fast parts, meaning both PMOS and NMOS transistors have lower threshold voltage than typical due to stochastic process od production or intentional skewing of the proc

CUDA is/was their biggest advantage to be honest, not the HW. They saw the demand to super high-end GPUs driven by Bitcoin mining craze thanks to CUDA, and it transitioned gracefully to AI/ML workloads. Google was much more ahead

a lot of good answers. just couple points to add: - Charging a capacitor from 0 to Vdd volts takes E=CVdd^2 amount of energy. To find the power (energy/second) you need to multiply this with how frequently you do this, i.e. clock frequ

This is completely wrong. I've desiged ICs from 350nm down to 3nm technology. I don't know what do you mean by transistors are biased. If you mean SOI body bissing, it's not a common technology. Crowbar current is still a big

In general putting memory physically close to compute is good. If two cores need to share that memory doesn't it make sense to place the memory at the interface?

It depends I think. In more old folk belief in middle east for example; heart, liver and stomach have different emotions associated with them. Liver is attachment and grief, heart is excitement and love, stomach is contentment, frustration,

Pretty much most of them. They might buy a small IP or two here and there, but for the rest everyone develops their design mostly in house. It's not 100s of millions, that's a ridiculous amount of money unless you are designing li

by bgnn 3y ago
That's not correct. I've worked from start-ups to semiconductor giants. Always the first option to develop everything in house, if you can find the talent. This is pretty much industry standard.

Project cycles are long. We are typically doing 1 tapeout/quarter. Chips are incredibly complex, and the physical design is a by definition slow process. Of couse everyone wants quicker tools/turnaround but bottleneck isn't R

That depends on the profession I think. If you are designing A/D or D/A converters, you know sampling and all the artefacts by heart. Nyquist criterion is extremely important, but it is simplistic. You need to consider a lot of ot

ASML doesn't belong to NL. This isn't a country for productive economy. Dutch hate anything other than finance and farming. It's much better if they move to Germany, or better yet to France with nuclear energy!

Not in the Netherlands. Nobody wants to reduce taxes except liberals.

Oh that would be quite easy for them since all these companies can ship the parts wherever ASML wants. They rely a lot of companies in Germany and Belgium, Korea, Taiwan, Japan, USA too.
