There are plenty of businesses with goal of making money that work well. And since we know that differentiation leads to profits and innovation leads to differentiation , innovation is actually a decent guidance.

Non-exact computation is useful for some stuff: machine vision, deep-learning, and probably other types of machines learning. Those have a wide variety of uses and they demand lots of compute. Also in places where performance is critical an

Maybe(in 10-20 years) We'll build analog imitations of the brain , with similar density and high power efficiency. Or maybe we'll build other types of compute machines using analog electronics. Maybe we'll replace digital mul

BTW, i'm not even sure a structured asic will give you good security against physical attacks, because you probably need to design below the logic layer for that.

The best flash FPGA that would fit your goal is probably on 65nm. if that's the case , you're better of verifying on FPGA,selling low volumes on 90nm easic -which will be far more efficient than 65 nm fpga ,expect very expensive p

Personally i wouldn't interrupt Bill Gates. He's doing amazing stuff. But it could really appeal to other philanthropists who seek recognition and impact. Another idea i had in that area - why won't great scientists collabora

While all eAsics are via programmable , only the 90nm version is programmable by eBeam. the rest requires a mask and minimum volumes - ie large expense. sorry on mobile so no link. So maybe building something on(the gaisler is a good idea)

by minthd 11y ago
eAsic is only using it's eBeam direct-write technology(which is great for prototype development for cheap) for 90nm chips. So maybe using 14nm FPGA's is better.

Google's move looks kinda like IBM's - being the technology partner in mutually beneficial tech projects. The only difference is the profit sharing arrangement and the risk/vision.

They want to reduce dependency on the u.s. . So maybe for use in their embedded industrial stuff ,and as a first step before producing a microcontroller (which 90nm is perfectly fine for) ?

But if you add the energy costs, it makes financial sense to move to newer nodes. Maybe we need some financial innovation that charges a part of the chip in small installments that you won't feel , because of savings ,while also suppor

You can't power gate sram, or device state registers. That's like reset.That's a large fraction of the chip. How fundamental - i'm not sure.
