Not enough data
Ed Sperling's coverage is heavily focused on providing expert commentary and industry-specific insights into the engineering and design aspects of electronics, integrated circuits, chip design, data centers, and the semiconductor industry. He appears to be interested in addressing challenges and advancements within these domains.
Given his focus on expert commentary, Ed might be open to pitches from professionals who have deep technical knowledge or experience in areas such as 3D heterogeneous integration, DRAM technology complexities, power integrity challenges in next-gen designs, SerDes technologies for data centers, ESD mitigation strategies and reliability testing using deep data analysis.
As Ed does not specify a geographic focus but covers topics that are globally relevant within the semiconductor industry and related fields of engineering and design.
This information evolves through artificial intelligence and human feedback. Improve this profile .
More data, more processing elements, and more memories are making it much harder to maintain consistent throughput in a multi-die assembly.
Jobs, markets, and economics are undergoing dramatic changes, but it's still too early to know how this will all shake out.
The use of AI agents in chip design has been limited to small portions of the design flow.
AI has access to every known security paper and powerful tools, but that's not all bad.
Chips are getting bigger, more modular, and much more capable as new innovations mix with existing processes and long-researched projects go mainstream.
The rapid build-out of AI on the edge marks a fundamental shift in where intelligence is located, how much is included in devices, and the speed at
Hot Chips 2026: Thinner dies, more TSV area, thermal dissipation, and limited manufacturing capacity make HBM scaling much more difficult.
Nearly all leading-edge designs today are multi-die assemblies, which means that one defective die can render the entire device unusable.
How natural language processing will fundamentally change the way humans interface with machines.
Discrete steps are being merged with others as dimensions shrink into the angstrom range.
