Photo by Florian Olivo on Unsplash THE GROWTH OF HETEROGENEOUS INTEGRATION The computer architecture design to cater the personal computing to data center needs has seen many changes over the last four decades. Computer architects have pushed the boundaries of designing novel ways to process data, which has lead to the manufacturing of advanced processing units (XPU) that are powering low to high-performance computing systems. The growth of XPU is not only driven by the novel designs but also due to the shrinking transistor size. The advanced technology-node has allowed computer architects to take advantage of billions of transistors in the smaller area possible. With the ability to pack more transistors, the processing speed has increased, which has reduced the time taken to process user requests. All these hardware features […]
