ReGate: Enabling Power Gating in Neural Processing Units
In this paper, the authors present ReGate, which enables fine-grained power-gating of each hardware component in NPU chips with hardware/software co-design.
Bringing IPsec into the Quantum Safe Era
Over the next five years, all security protocols and public key cryptography will undergo a comprehensive overhaul to ensure quantum safety. This represents the most significant change in these domains since the advent of public key cryptography.
The Benefits of a Multi-Protocol PMA
At Silicon Creations, we have developed a power and area optimized, flexible and programmable PMA (Physical Medium Attachment) architecture that can be reliably ported to different process nodes and scaled across protocol generations as data rates increase. It is called the Multi-Protocol PMA, or MP-PMA for short.
