Anyone who uses a cell phone, digital camera, or television set-top box can see why the semiconductor industry is under pressure to find new solutions for today's design problems. Today's consumer ...

Programming processors is becoming more complicated as more and different types of processing elements are included in the same architecture. While systems architects may revel in the number of ...

The processor's SIMD portion enables one instruction to be simultaneously executed by a number (two, four, eight, or 16) of DSP processors called parallel datapath units. The CW4011 implementation ...

Credo's 1.6T Cardinal DSP and expanding optical push deepen its role in AI interconnects, but execution risks loom as ...

The DSP market is limping through its first year ever of declining revenue, but DSP makers at last week's Microprocessor Forum in San Jose pushed forward with announcements of new implementations, all ...

TL;DR: Ubitium is developing a Universal Processor that combines CPU, GPU, DSP, and FPGA into a single chip, aiming to revolutionize the market by reusing every transistor for multiple functions.

Makers of digital signal processor chips continue to push the limits of floating-point and fixed-point performance. But there's more to real performance metrics than simple clock-speed ratings on a ...

“Our Universal Processor does it all – CPU, GPU, DSP, FPGA – in one chip, one architecture,” says CEO Hyun Shin Cho. Ubitium believes that the wide variety of embedded processors can be replaced by a ...

Arm today announced Armv9, the next generation of its chip architecture. Its predecessor, Armv8, launched a decade ago and while it has seen its fair share of changes and updates, the new architecture ...

Why it matters: Devices like smartphones rely on a fragmented array of CPUs, GPUs, NPUs, DSPs, and other accelerators to handle various tasks. However, these specialized cores often remain idle, ...

It looks like smartphones will be getting much more powerful than they are now. Android Authority is reporting that the new Arm Armv9 architecture is set to take smartphones to the next level. As many ...
