The Rise Of Semiconductor Powered XPU

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 system can process the request successfully. This seamless exchange of processes between software and hardware forms the base for a computer system. Software form factor, user interface, and the speed might have changed over the years. However, the need to have a processing unit that can execute all the software code has not. Over the last two decades, the de-facto processing unit – the Central Processing Unit (CPU) – has seen several semiconductor and computer architecture backed technological advancement, that has taken computing to the […]
