Reliability verification for artificial intelligence and machine learning processor chips
Reliability verification for AI and machine learning processor chips ensures circuit stability and performance within design and power constraints
The processor chips used in AI/ML applications are characterized by large parallel processing computation units, high power dissipation, and complex circuitry that can deliver maximum performance within a strict power budget. Accurate assessment of IC reliability issues such as electromigration, power and clock gating, dynamic voltage and frequency scaling, and electrical overstress are crucial to delivering the intended power efficiency while maintaining compliance with all design constraints.
