The Semiconductor AI Chip Stack

Photo by D koi on Unsplash Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly evolving as a critical application enabler. However, the high computational requirements of AI algorithms pose a challenge for semiconductor design and manufacturing. It is where the AI chip stack comes into the picture and will undoubtedly change AI-focused hardware, software, and tools development. AI Chip Stack: The AI chip stack is a layered approach to designing and manufacturing AI chips. It consists of three layers: Hardware: AI chip’s physical components, such as the transistors, interconnects, and memory. Software: Consists of operating systems, drivers, and runtime environments for AI applications. Tools: Includes the tools used to design and manufacture AI chips. These three layers of the AI chip stack also require IPs. These IPs provide access to the hardware and […]
