What we do
One of the large sections in any AI chip is the register-map which provides the ability to program the AI engine with weights, parameters, hyper-parameters, etc. These flexible and configurable elements in the AI design are created automatically from a single text based specification. Not just that, the way data moves in and out of these configurable elements is typically done thru standard hardware buses like AMBA, TileLink or CXL. These IPs are created by the Agnisys tool. Some studies suggest a saving of about 30% in time to market.
Advanced areas of chip design such as Clock Domain Crossing, Functional Safety, Low Power, Low Area, High performance are inherently dealt with by Agnisys’ Advanced EDA tool.
Paper : Hardware Based Handwritten Digit Recognition for MNIST
In recent years, hardware acceleration has become a significant area of research for speeding up machine learning tasks, particularly deep learning applications. Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) offer unique advantages in terms of parallelism, reconfigurability, and energy efficiency compared to traditional CPU and GPU architectures. The handwritten digit recognition task, particularly using the MNIST dataset, is a classic problem in the machine learning community and serves as a benchmark for evaluating model performance.
This paper focuses on the direct implementation of a handwritten digit recognition model on an FPGA to explore how hardware-based solutions can enhance the speed and efficiency of deep learning models. The primary goal is to detail the FPGA configuration process, data precision handling, and overall performance analysis.
Our Latest Press Release
Etched has made a bold bet that AI transformers would take over the world, and has spent the past two years developing Sohu, the world’s first specialized chip for transformers—the “T” in ChatGPT. Unlike other hardware, Sohu is purpose-built to optimize transformer-based models, outperforming traditional chips that handle a broader range of AI architectures. Etched is burning the transformer architecture directly into the chip, creating the world’s most powerful servers for transformer inference.
Upcoming Webinar on AI Chip Design Using Agnisys
The design of AI chips hinges on optimizing performance for computationally heavy operations like Multiply-Accumulate (MAC), a core component of neural network workloads. To meet the demands of speed and energy efficiency, AI chip architectures increasingly integrate advanced techniques like systolic arrays, parallel processing, and domain-specific accelerators.
Agnisys tools contribute significantly to this ecosystem by automating key steps in chip design and verification. For instance, IDesignSpec (IDS) enables efficient generation of RTL for registers and memories while supporting multiple bus standards. These capabilities streamline the transition from specification to implementation, minimizing errors and accelerating time-to-market.
With a suite that leverages neuromorphic chips, 3D stacking, and edge-specific processors to address emerging AI use cases like IoT and robotics. Together, these advancements push the boundaries of AI computing while maintaining a focus on precision, reliability, and innovation.
