Alchip Teams with Synopsys to Meet 400-Watt Power Challenge

San Jose, CA, Nov. 07, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — In a paper presented at the TSMC North America Open Innovation Platform Forum, Alchip Technologies and Synopsys showed how collaborative design expertise, EDA tools, and high-quality IP had created a record-setting, high-performance artificial intelligence enabled data center system-on-a chip (SoC).

The paper, being presented at TSMC OIP Forums in North America, Europe, and China, explains how the two companies developed a new high-performance SoC to operate to specification under extremely challenging 400-watt dynamic power conditions. The device also achieved first-pass silicon success on TSMC’s 7nm process technology.

The achievement is significant because today’s cloud-hosting data centers require tremendous amounts of energy to process the multi-terabytes of data powering today’s modern society. That energy generates millions of BTUs of heat which is a sizeable physical challenge for a computing system to deal with as it introduces new, complex challenges of IR drop, EM signoff, thermal considerations, and packaging design.

The data challenge itself is another huge ask. The most advanced SoC designs require higher compute density and faster interfaces, while operating efficiently in extremely elevated thermal conditions. In addition, server CPUs are handling increasing sizes of data sets, forcing more data movement to and from embedded SRAM.

But using Synopsys tools and leading-edge IP, Alchip engineers exceeded their design goals with an SoC capable of punching out more than 2.5 gigahertz (GHz) of performance across a 480mm2 device while running on dynamic power of less than 400 watts.

“This project really illustrates that solving today’s complex IC challenges requires multi-company collaboration.  Both Synopsys and Alchip are members of TSMC Open Innovation Platform and it takes an industry effort of this magnitude to productively channel our collective energies,” explained Leo Cheng, Senior Vice President, Design Engineering, Alchip Technologies.

KIGALI, Rwanda, Nov. 07, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — From 6 – 18 November 2022, heads of states, high level government representatives and business leaders will gather at the 27th United Nations Climate Change Conference of the Parties (COP27), in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt for the latest round of international climate talks.

During the conference, a high-profile event will be held to globally launch the Rwanda Sustainable Finance Roadmap which was launched in Rwanda at the end of October 2022. It will be an informative session that will introduce Rwanda’s vision of becoming a sustainable finance hub, through Kigali International Financial Centre (KIFC). The launch event is set to showcase the steps Rwanda is taking towards becoming a leader in green finance; and how this Roadmap will drive the implementation of new sustainable financial structures and instruments to support ESG models and drive sustainability across Rwanda. The event will take place on Wednesday 9 November 2022 at the Rwanda Pavillion.

The Roadmap was developed in partnership with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) that continues to play an important role in accelerating the Sustainable Agenda on the continent. KIFC is also a member of the international network of Financial Centres for Sustainability (FC4S), a flagship initiative of the UNDP which aims to accelerate the shift to sustainable finance and achieve the goals of the 2015 Paris climate accord. The network has a collective of 39 international financial centres, representing 82% of the global equity market.

Nick Barigye, CEO of Rwanda Finance Limited, the investment promotion agency that is leading the development and promotion of KIFC, said:

“Sustainable finance is one of our key priorities and Kigali International Financial Centre (KIFC) is taking important steps to steer Rwanda towards becoming a leader in sustainable finance. The Roadmap shows the full range of financial instruments that we are implementing with a target to accelerate the mobilisation of local, regional, and international capital towards green and sustainable projects. It also provides a pathway towards transitioning our local financial sector to ESG best practices.”

Rwanda understands the importance of climate finance and recognises the role that the financial sector needs to play in driving the country’s sustainable growth through capital mobilisation and allocation of economic resources, as well as by recognising and managing risks related to climate change.

COP27 presents a great opportunity for Rwanda to promote global collaboration to address climate change issues and to advance the country’s vision to become a carbon-neutral and climate resilient economy by 2050.

COP27 is also an important opportunity for Africa and African financial centres. The continent produces just 4% of global greenhouse gas emissions however has experienced some of the worst consequences due to increasingly extreme weather conditions. This year’s negotiations need to reach concrete decisions that yield tangible results and advance the implementation of the National Determined Contributions (NDCs), including adaptation and mitigation efforts and delivery of finance to enhance implementation.
