Cisco Debuts 12.8Tbps Switch Chips. Just 10 months after unveiling its initial Silicon One product, Cisco revealed the true breadth of its merchant switch-chip thrust. In late 2019, it announced the 16nm Q100 in conjunction with the first system to use it, the Cisco 8000-Series router. At that time, however, it already had 7nm chips in its lab.

MACHINE LEARNING MOVES TO THE EDGE Embedded systems at the edge of the network will increasingly use machine learning (ML) to deliver new capabilities. Even as ML becomes more important, these new capabilities must be added without breaking the BOM cost and power budgets of existing products. The best option is an SoC that includes the CPU, standard interfaces, and an efficient ML accelerator on a single chip, minimizing cost, power, and board area. SiMa.ai is a new company developing a product to fit these

requirements.

ACCELERATING AI PERFORMANCE IN AN OPEN SOFTWARE ECOSYSTEM Nvidia's software stack, based on its proprietary CUDA, creates a high barrier to entry for challengers. SYCL, the only open alternative to CUDA that has multivendor support, enables customers to move to higher performance hardware while retaining software flexibility. A commercial version of SYCL, branded ComputeCpp, is offered by

Codeplay.

ARM ECOSYSTEM REDUCES SOC DESIGN COST AND TIME TO MARKET This paper discusses three critical facets of the Arm ecosystem: design verification, physical design, and software development. Each one directly affects the time required to develop a complete SoC and

software stack.

AI REQUIRES MANY APPROACHES Artificial intelligence (AI) is being applied to a wide range of problems, so no single processor can support them all. This paper describes and compares the various approaches needed for data center, autonomous driving, and consumer/IoT applications. _More White Papers »_

Cortex-X1: A Bigger Arm Cortex-X1 debuts a series of Arm CPUs that provide a new level of smartphone performance. The company also released Cortex-A78, which increases efficiency for the mainstream line. Mali-G78 Raises Premium Performance The new Mali-G78 GPU strengthens Arm’s hold on licensable IP for premium phones. It outperforms the Mali-G77 by about 15%, and its larger maximum core count enables even greater performance gains. Ethos-N78 Boosts AI Efficiency The new Ethos-N78 is Arm’s second-generation deep-learning accelerator (DLA). In its largest configuration, the N78 can deliver peak performance of 10 trillion operations per second (TOPS).
