In this blog, I will explore the causes and consequences of the Dot-Com Bubble, and the…

By Shekhar Kapoor, Director of Product Management, Synopsys If it seems like everyone’s talking about multi-die systems, you’re not mistaken. The semiconductor industry isn’t only talking about them — multi-die systems are already in the market. With compute demands ballooning and Moore’s law waning, integrating multiple heterogeneous dies, or chiplets…

The opening of TSMC’s 3nm plant in Arizona marks a new era of advanced manufacturing in the U.S. — Apple silicon unlocks a new level of performance for our users. And soon, many of these chips can be stamped “Made in America.” The opening of TSMC’s 3nm plant in Arizona marks a new era of advanced manufacturing in the U.S. — and we are proud to become the site’s largest customer.

Silicon in the periodic table — Silicon is a chemical element that is placed in group 14 in the periodic table with the symbol Si and atomic number 14. A hard, brittle crystalline silicon forms a blue-grey metallic luster and uses in the semiconductor. It is a member carbon family in the periodic table that lies…

I'm quite certain a lot of you already know that I breath, drink, and eat Renewable Energy, especially Solar Energy. My LOVE for this alternative source of electricity & Energy is a deep one. Annoyingly most users or potential users (especially science students or students who studied elementary Chemistry) of…

At Kodiak we have a weekly, optional meeting called Lunch & Learn, where somebody in the company talks about something they know well. Usually the topic is related to, but not strictly a part of, Kodiak and autonomous trucking. And, usually, the format is for the session leader to play…

Firstly silicone certainly isn’t a new material, but it has been over shadowed by the use of plastic, and now that we are on the way to phasing out plastics (especially single use plastics), is Silicone the right answer? Silicone has been widely used in technology, hard-wear and the medical…

Light in an optical fiber covers much greater distance without repeaters (and associated repeater delay) and loses far less energy in route than do electrical signals in even the best cable. Three attributes — reach, bandwidth density, and energy consumption — are critical to the future of large-scale data centers…
