Selection Criteria for Using DDR, GDDR or MobileDDR Memories in System Designs

This paper will include a short review of the key features of DDR, GDDR and MobileDDR memory architectures, covering power, speed and cost characteristics as well as key functionality differences that can impact overall system architecture. Using real system design experiences each of the main memory architectures will be used to address system design challenges of sustained bandwidth, reliability, access priority, power savings, and interface requirements.

SPAD: Specialized Prefill and Decode Hardware for Disaggregated LLM Inference

Large Language Models (LLMs) have gained popularity in recent years, driving up the demand for inference. LLM inference is composed of two phases with distinct characteristics: a compute-bound prefill phase followed by a memory-bound decode phase. This paper proposes SPAD (Specialized Prefill and Decode hardware), adopting a less-is-more methodology to design specialized chips tailored to the distinct characteristics of prefill and decode phases.

High Bandwidth Memory Evolution from First Generation HBM to the Latest HBM4

HBM4 is the latest generation of the High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) that has become analogous to the Artificial Intelligence (AI) boom that is everywhere in today’s world. HBM is also increasingly being used in other applications like Data centers, autonomous driving systems, servers, cloud computing just to mention few domains where bandwidth and performance in a key requirement.

Designing the AI Factories: Unlocking Innovation with Intelligent IP

The rapid evolution of artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping the technological landscape, driving unprecedented demands on computing infrastructure. At the heart of this transformation lie innovations in intellectual property (IP) that enable scalable, efficient, and performance-driven AI factories.
