With the rapid development of various digital innovations such as Generative AI, the demand for high-performance chips in the market has surged dramatically, leading to increased complexity in chip design. Take Nvidia's H100 GPU, for example, which contains 80 billion transistors. Managing such a vast number of transistors, coupled with increasingly tight market schedules and shrinking product lifecycles, makes relying solely on manual development nearly impossible. To address this challenge, Maxeda Technology has partnered with international IC design giants to offer a range of production-validated AI-assisted EDA (Electronic Design Automation) solutions. We hope that our participation in the TIE Award competition will allow more international companies to see Taiwan's innovative achievements in EDA and create opportunities for further collaboration.
Entomal Biotech is bringing a new, sustainable way of processing food waste to the table. It has come up with an idea of circling food waste from the kitchen, home, to the dump and then back to animals or, ultimately in the future, human's stomach.
Trends in smart wearables head towards multi-functional integration, longer battery life, and smoother user experience, placing higher requirements on chips to deliver smaller size, better power consumption, improved performance, better application tuning, and more. ePOP storage chips are ideal for smart wearable devices for their small size, low power consumption, high performance, and high reliability. Now BIWIN brings the LPDDR4X 144-Ball ePOP for high-end smart watches, offering 128.6% higher frequency and 32% less chip size compared with LPDDR3.
PCIe SSD prices continue to drop in 2022, the cost of purchasing high-performance, high-capacity PCIe SSDs for PCs has also decreased. This has expanded the application of PCIe 4.0 SSDs in the PC OEM market, driving a significant increase in the market share of consumer PCIe 4.0 SSDs. BIWIN has extended a new DRAM-less PCIe 4.0 SSD-- AP860 for desktops, laptops, and all-in-one computers. This new product offer high performance, large capacity, excellent compatibility, quality consistency, and supply stability.
Xiphera, founded in 2017 by Matti Tommiska and Kimmo Jarvinen, has designed hardware-based cryptographic algorithms that can be implemented directly on Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) or Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASIC). Xiphera has partnerships with Intel, AMD, Lattice, Microchip, Bittware, Spinnaker Systems, and Muspark.
ChatGPT, the latest artificial intelligence (AI) trend, has continued to create surprises in our daily lives. The trend has naturally spread to the field of medicine which generates a wave of new smart healthcare applications that combine biomedicine with AI. The development has driven massive growth in biomedical technology which drastically reduces the analysis and interpretation time, thereby increasing the accuracy and efficiency of diagnosis. The AI-oriented medicine is creating new opportunities as smart technology has become an indispensable force that drives the development of biomedical science.
Okinawa-based startup Watasumi is utilizing its biological technological expertise to convert organic carbon from waste water into energy through bioelectrochemical systems (BES). The company now targets small- and medium-sized food and drink industries around Japan, hoping to treat waste water more sustainably by leasing to clients the fully self-sustained compact module reactor that can also serve as an additional power source.
Thermalytica, a spin-off startup from Japan's National Institute of Materials Science (NIMS), has developed an ultra-low density and lightweight silica-based thermal insulation material. The material, TIISA, is revolutionary in its structure; its volume can expand up to ten times larger than traditional aerogel when compared at the same weight.
Blumind is pitching a farsighted approach of neural network processing using an all-analog architecture for AI applications to be more sustainable in the future. The company has completed the latest phase of R&D and is now looking to commercialize its high-performance, low-cost, and sustainable AI chips.
DigiKey, a leading global commerce distributor offering the largest selection of technical components and automation products in stock for immediate shipment, has released the full Season 3 of its "City Digital" video series, which explores the evolution and future of IoT in the automotive industry.
