The Semiconductor Compute, Memory And Interconnect Balance

Photo by Artiom Vallat on Unsplash In computer architecture, computing (compute), memory, and interconnect are the three main components of a computer system and are thus critical in CPU, GPU, and XPU design. These three pillars determine the speed and efficiency of the system. The faster these three blocks are, the faster the system can run programs and perform tasks. There has been a trend toward developing faster computer architecture in recent years and mainly driven by the increasing demand for more powerful computer systems. A speedier system helps improve the computer system’s performance by allowing them to transfer data more quickly between the different components of the system. Three Pillars: Compute: The compute refers to the central processing unit (CPU), the computer’s brain. The CPU performs all the calculations […]
