OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, is reportedly exploring making its own artificial intelligence chips, possibly through the acquisition of an AI chip company. According to a Reuters report, OpenAI aims to gain independence from expensive Nvidia GPUs.
New EDA releases: Keysight, Nullspace, Mathworks
Keysight EDA 2024 software suite offers three major “shift left” updates. “RF System Explorer” streamlines system and circuit level design workflows for early exploration of system architectures in Advanced Design System; “Digital Pre-Distortion Explorer” and “Digital Pre-Distortion Designer” accelerate wide bandgap power amplifier design and validation using the Dynamic Gain Model; “SystemVue” delivers complete Satcom modeling and simulation solutions for 5G non-terrestrial network, DVB-S2X, and phased array product development.
Nullspace has launched the Nullspace Prep and Nullspace EM 2023.9 release, claiming a 2-4x simulation speed improvement for large problems. The company is also releasing the Nullspace EM Solver on the Windows platform; up until now, the product was only available on Linux. Users interested in the Windows version can apply to take part in a Beta program. Additionally, Nullspace has authored a new whitepaper, “Overcoming Limitations of 3D EM Simulation of Electrically Large Devices.”
