Designing the next generation of AI chips
Designing microchips is a daunting task which is growing increasingly challenging as new algorithms and software push the demand for efficient, specialized chips capable of running AI algorithms on everything from self-driving cars to edge IIoT sensors. To meet these demands in a timely manner, High-Level Synthesis (HLS) tools, like Siemens EDAs Catapult are proving themselves to be a vital tool in designing chips for the fast-passed world of AI technology.
In this episode of AI Spectrum, Spencer Acain is joined by Russell Klein, program director at Siemens EDA and a member of the Catapult HLS team to discuss the benefits of HLS and why it is playing a key role in developing the AI accelerators of tomorrow.
In this episode you will learn:
- How Catapult can support AI (00:32)
- AI accelerators vs. GPUs (02:32)
- What is HLS? (04:25)
- How HLS verifies algorithms instead of transistors (10:27)
- Usage of HLS designed chips (11:32)
