WEBVTT

01:13:41.000 --> 01:13:50.000
opportunities, especially for the new type of accelerators, as you have seen in the presentation. The ideas that we have is leveraging

01:13:50.000 --> 01:13:59.000
potentially specific data sets and specific libraries, right? And obviously, MLIR will enable us to do this, this mapping.

01:13:59.000 --> 01:14:07.000
So, uh, that's… that's definitely a lot of opportunities there. There's a lot of discussion that we can have, and…

01:14:07.000 --> 01:14:09.000
Uh, they got it.

01:14:09.000 --> 01:14:13.000
Okay, right.

01:14:13.000 --> 01:14:14.000
Yeah.

01:14:14.000 --> 01:14:16.000
And Valerie, we're gonna have a longer, deeper follow-up conversation with the team on this, okay?

01:14:16.000 --> 01:14:20.000
Okay, that would be great. Thank you, but enjoyed the presentation.

01:14:20.000 --> 01:14:22.000
Very good. Um, Maya?

01:14:22.000 --> 01:14:26.000
So, I have a question that probably

01:14:26.000 --> 01:14:36.000
has a lot of different answers, but I know time is short, but uh… it seems as if when you're doing a chiplet and chip design, that the majority of the time is spent in verification.

01:14:36.000 --> 01:14:48.000
And I wondered, uh, what… how you were addressing that, or for the MVP concept, that isn't as important as getting the ideas out there.

01:14:48.000 --> 01:14:55.000
Yeah, um, you know, part of… part of our, uh, approach, I think, is to… is to try and.

01:14:55.000 --> 01:15:01.000
uh, what, maybe… sideline a lot of the verification.

01:15:01.000 --> 01:15:08.000
Uh, tasks, uh, through rapidly and… inexpensively.

01:15:08.000 --> 01:15:14.000
creating test hardware. So that our verification.

01:15:14.000 --> 01:15:30.000
of, uh, triplet packaging and triplet integration. comes from the use of testing, but maybe this is something Andreas could… Talk about how the definition of our chiplet interfaces.

01:15:30.000 --> 01:15:36.000
We'll also, uh, help address the verification challenge.

01:15:36.000 --> 01:15:43.000
Yeah, uh, hi, Maya. Uh, I think that there's a couple of things, uh… that, uh, that we're doing. One is, uh.

01:15:43.000 --> 01:15:56.000
The open source aspect of, uh… of some of the IP that we're developing, and so… You know, you certainly… there's less verification when you don't have the right code, so when you download.

01:15:56.000 --> 01:16:07.000
you know, TensorFlow, PyTorch, right? You… somebody else has done the verification, so… Yes, you do have to worry about how you compose those library functions and create the upper-level logic, but at least somebody has.

01:16:07.000 --> 01:16:15.000
unit testers and files and verify the lower-level stuff, right? So that's a net gain. And in hardware, we generally don't do that.

01:16:15.000 --> 01:16:22.000
the, you know, we do reuse some. IP out there, but for the most part, we write a lot of code.

01:16:22.000 --> 01:16:29.000
From scratch, and so we can say that verification, but I think the much more important thing is the fact that once you go into chiplets.

01:16:29.000 --> 01:16:43.000
you just short-circuit the verification altogether, especially all the physical stuff, the… running DRC on the deck, running signal integrity, power resolution. Once you have a die, you have a physical device that you can do a data sheet for.

01:16:43.000 --> 01:16:54.000
And then, uh, the verification goes down drastically, so… The idea of turning IP into a hardened physical device is sort of raising the level of abstraction.

01:16:54.000 --> 01:16:58.000
By a lot. Now we just have a box with pins on it.

01:16:58.000 --> 01:17:10.000
As opposed to, uh… a white box that you really have to verify every time you tape it out. And we see this a lot with, uh, especially with complex IP, like certies and memory controllers.

01:17:10.000 --> 01:17:17.000
Where even though we license it from big vendors, and we pay them millions of dollars, we still have to spend 6 to 9 months before we tape out.

01:17:17.000 --> 01:17:22.000
And imagine if instead of that, you had a memory controller chiplet that just worked.

01:17:22.000 --> 01:17:30.000
And all you had to do was hook up the pins properly, and you're done. You can imagine how much, uh, how much you can save in that, so… That's my… that's my spiel.

01:17:30.000 --> 01:17:31.000
Thank you.

01:17:31.000 --> 01:17:33.000
Thank you. Thank you, Andreas.

01:17:33.000 --> 01:17:42.000
So, let me just quickly say to Andreas, right now, at, uh, the OCP thing, ARM is presenting a chiplet

01:17:42.000 --> 01:17:44.000
their chiplet interface.

01:17:44.000 --> 01:17:49.000
Like, at this moment, it's on their screen, because Ron just sent it to me in a…

01:17:49.000 --> 01:17:53.000
I saw that. The more standards, the merrier, they say.

01:17:53.000 --> 01:18:00.000
Yes, I learned from Sadash Ankhor that we're in conflict with the.

01:18:00.000 --> 01:18:18.000
the OCP workshop today. Okay, um, I think that's all. Uh, any… any last questions or comments from anyone?

01:18:18.000 --> 01:18:28.000
Alright, if not, um… invitations open to all the Meerkat teams. Feel free to reach out to me, or any of our leadership team here at Decode.

01:18:28.000 --> 01:18:33.000
Um, we're happy to have follow-up discussions.

01:18:33.000 --> 01:18:34.000
Thank you, everyone.

01:18:34.000 --> 01:18:36.000
Thanks so much, Jim. Thanks, everybody.

01:18:36.000 --> 01:18:42.000
Thanks.
