European chipmaker STMicroelectronics<\/a> and chip design<\/a> software maker Synopsys<\/a> on Tuesday said STMicro<\/a> had for the first time used artificial intelligence<\/a> software running on Microsoft Corp<\/a>'s cloud to design a working chip.

The achievement would help solve the growing problem of getting increasingly complex designs ready for customers in an acceptable time, STMicro said.

The company is one of a several that are using AI to help design chips, which involves translating a complicated circuit architecture into a blueprint for fabricating billions of transistors on a small piece of silicon.

Synopsys, the maker of the AI software used by STMicro, said on Tuesday it had now been used to aide in designing 100 different chips from Samsung Electronics Co Ltd,
SK Hynix<\/a> and others since it was first released in 2020.

The exact placement of the billions of transistors on a chip makes a big difference in its eventual performance. Engineers use software such as Synopsys's to figure out where to put them, running several rounds of experiments with several possible designs to find the best one.

The problem in recent years is that chips have become far, far more complex, which means that finding the right design takes more and more experiments. But business deadlines have not gotten any longer: customers still want a steady drumbeat of new chips year after year.

To meet those deadlines, the AI system's job is to help engineers weed out all the design experiments that will not lead to success and point to those that will.

\"We have a limited amount of time,\" said Indavong Vongsavady, who oversees design tools for one of STMicro's groups. \"Limiting to a practical number the size of experiments that we run - that's the real point.\"

Cloud computing also helps ease the time crunch. Shankar Krishnamoorthy, general manager of the design automation group at Synopsys, said that company's AI engine got better results faster when it had more computing power behind it. Cloud providers like Microsoft offer the option to rent a huge burst of computing power in a short time.

\"In most engineering environments, people say, 'This is how much compute (power) I have. This is the time in which I need the results. Give me the best result,'\" Krishnamoorthy said.

意法半导体靠人工智能、云随着芯片设计变得更加复杂

的成就将帮助解决日益严重的问题越来越复杂的设计准备好客户在一个可接受的时间,意法半导体说。

欧洲芯片制造商意法半导体芯片设计软件制造商Synopsys对此周二表示意法半导体第一次使用人工智能软件运行在微软(msft . o:行情)云的芯片设计工作。

的成就将帮助解决日益严重的问题越来越复杂的设计准备好客户在一个可接受的时间,意法半导体说。

的公司是几个使用人工智能来帮助设计芯片,包括将一个复杂的电路架构转换成一个蓝图制造数十亿在一小块硅晶体管。

Synopsys对此,意法半导体所使用的人工智能软件制造商周二表示,该公司现在已经被用于助手设计100个不同的芯片从三星电子有限公司SK海力士和其他人,因为它在2020年首次发布。

的确切位置一个芯片上的晶体管数十亿的最终性能有很大的差异。工程师使用软件如Synopsys对此的找出他们,跑几轮的几个可能的实验设计,以找到最好的一个。

近年来的问题是,芯片已经成为,复杂得多,这意味着找到正确的设计需要越来越多的实验。但商业期限不再得到:客户仍然希望每年稳步进行的新芯片。

满足这些期限,AI系统的工作是帮助工程师淘汰所有的设计实验,不会导致成功和那些会。

“我们有一个有限的时间,”说Indavong Vongsavady,负责设计工具,意法半导体的一个群体。“限制数量的实际大小的实验,我们运行——这才是真正的点。”

云计算也有助于缓解危机。设计自动化集团的总经理Shankar Krishnamoorthy Synopsys对此,说公司的人工智能引擎得到更快更好的结果时,有更多的计算能力。云提供商像微软提供选择租一间巨大的计算能力在短时间内爆发。

“在大多数工程环境中,人们会说,‘这是我多少计算(权力)。这是我需要的时间结果。给我最好的结果,”Krishnamoorthy说。
