Imec, CEA-Leti Form AI and Quantum Computing Hub
Two of Europe’s key electronics and nanotechnologies research institutes — imec in Belgium and CEA-Leti in France — will collaborate to develop a European hub for artificial intelligence and quantum computing.As security and privacy issues rise up the agenda in almost every organization, the race is on to process more at the edge and put more intelligence at endpoints. For electronics systems design, most of the major chip companies now offer or are developing deep learning and edge AI devices or intellectual property. The edge AI devices are often complete computer sub-systems displaying intelligent behavior locally on the hardware devices (chips), analyzing their environment and taking required actions to achieve specific goals.Edge AI is considered now to hold the promise of solving many societal challenges — from treating diseases that cannot yet be cured today, to minimizing the environmental impact of farming. Decentralization from the cloud to the edge is a key challenge of AI technologies applied to large heterogeneous systems. This requires innovation in the components industry with powerful, energy-guzzling processors.This is where imec and CEA-Leti hope to develop a European center of excellence. The two organizations signed a memorandum of understanding during the state visit of French president Emmanuel Macron to Belgium, laying the foundation for a strategic partnership in AI and quantum computing, two key strategic value chains for European industry, to strengthen European strategic and economic sovereignty.The joint efforts of imec and CEA-Leti underline Europe’s ambition to take a leading role in the development of these technologies. The research centers’ increased collaboration will focus on developing, testing and experimenting neuromorphic and quantum computing — and should result in the delivery of a digital hardware computing toolbox that can be used by European industry partners to innovate in a wide variety of application domains — from personalized healthcare and smart mobility to the new manufacturing industry and smart energy sectors."The ability to develop technologies such as AI and quantum computing — and put them into industrial use across a wide spectrum of applications —  is one of Europe’s major challenges," said Luc Van den hove, president and CEO of imec, in a press statement. "Both quantum and neuromorphic computing (to enable artificial intelligence) are very promising areas of innovation, as they hold a huge industrialization potential.”  Van den hove said a stronger collaboration in these domains between imec and CEA-Leti would help to speed up the technologies’ development time, providing them with the critical mass needed to create faster impact.Emmanuel Sabonnadière, CEA-Leti CEO, said the collaboration with imec as well as previous innovation-collaboration agreements with Germany's the Fraunhofer Group for Microelectronics "will focus all three institutes to the task of keeping Europe at the forefront of new digital hardware for AI, HPC and cyber-security applications.”Imec and CEA-Leti are inviting partners from industry as well as academia to join them and benefit from access to the research centers’ technology —  enabling a much higher degree of device complexity, reproducibility and material perfection while sharing the costs of precompetitive research.

TSMC says computer virus will slow shipments and cause additional costs
Edge Computing Will Drive the Growth of Micro Server, Boosting the Demand for Server DRAM
DRAMeXchange, a division of TrendForce, estimates that x86-based solutions will continue to be the market mainstream in 2018, with a global shipment share of 97%. Intel and AMD will continue to lead the development of server. Particularly, in the sector of Internet Datacenter, solutions based on the x86 architecture will still dominate the market due to its wide product range.According to Mark Liu, senior analyst at DRAMeXchange, enterprise servers contribute to around 60% of the global server shipments, while hyperscale server applications account for around 30%. The demand for micro servers used in edge computing is projected to see significant growth in the next 3 to 5 years due to the construction of data center and the implementation of 5G after 2020. This trend is also expected to drive the demand for related components and DRAM products considerably.The average content per box continues to see 20% annual growth in 2019 as Intel and AMD promote new platformsCurrently, x86-based solutions are still the market mainstream, while the penetration rate of Intel’s Purley platform has reached about 50%. Meanwhile, AMD has been migrating to products based on 14nm process. Previous product lines will be phased out as the wafer starts of 14nm process gradually increase. As for ARMv8 and RISC architecture, products are built to order at this stage with small production volume, mainly for the data center market. These two architectures are not able to compete with x86 servers until 2020, but may be adopted in more applications after that as the penetration rate of micro servers increases.In terms of the product roadmap, Intel's Cascade Lake will still be based on the third-generation 14nm process, but would not become the mainstream until the second half of 2019. AMD's new solution will migrate to the 7nm process, with its EPYC Series becoming the main product line this year. The AMD Rome platform server processor will also have a chance to come onto the market in the second half of next year.DRAMeXchange notes that, the penetration of new platforms may drive the average content per box. The average density of DRAM in servers will continue to see 20% annual growth in 2019.

Cloud Service Providers to Put More Emphasis on Edge Computing
Cloud computing platforms have fueled the digital transformation of enterprises in recent years. Public cloud has been playing a key role during the process. While applications of IoT and AI grow increasingly popular, the ecosystem of cloud services and the integration of cloud and edge have emerged as weak points of the market, says TrendForce. Cloud service providers have started to put more emphasis on the edge computing market, which has a CAGR of more than 30% from 2018 to 2022.TrendForce analyst Jimmy Liu points out that the digital transformation has become a must for many enterprises, who have realized the challenges brought by massive data to their current information system architectures. Cloud services like storage, data transmission and computing are on the rise, changing the mindsets of enterprises. Major cloud service providers have made eye-catching achievements in recent years, such as Amazon, Microsoft, Google, IBM, and Alibaba Cloud.However, with increasing growth momentum, the competition among cloud service providers has also become fierce. Before incorporating cloud systems into daily business operations, enterprises are bound to consider the stability, cost-effectiveness, scalability, and sustainability of cloud services, urging service providers to make the functions more integrated and prices more competitive.In addition, the rise of the Internet of Things has brought dynamic development needs. Users not only upload their systems to the cloud, but also use the cloud platforms for development and testing of IoT applications, further optimizing development costs and shortening the time for product development.Faced with existing price competition and the emerging diverse needs, cloud service providers started to extend their existing businesses and expand towards IoT platforms and edge computing. Liu notes that, most cloud service providers have established their own IoT platforms and edge computing software, such as AWS IoT Core and AWS Greengrass of Amazon, Azure IoT Solutions and Azure IoT Edge of Microsoft, etc. Based on cloud ecosystems, complete architecture and functions, as well as corresponding development tools for users, the cloud service providers have been shifting to the edge, trying to deliver more comprehensive cloud-to-end solutions on the advantages of the cloud.Cloud-to-end solutions also assist in data analysis by service providers, who used to collect existing data from applications passively. Together with a large amount of messy data, the analysis was time- and effort-consuming. However, as the cloud-to-edge development tools and ecosystems are built, they can cooperate with edge device makers more actively and have better control of these devices closer to the sources of data such as sensors, end devices, and gateways.In addition, the enhancement of edge devices will also enable cloud service providers to deploy artificial intelligence, machine learning and other technologies to the edge, and to upgrade vertical fields through various algorithms. The integration of cloud computing, edge computing and professional domain knowledge will also drive the loop of automation, autonomous training, and self-optimization. In this way, cloud service providers and edge device makers will jointly develop new forms of operation in the future to realize the digital transformation.

Semiconductor quantum transistor opens the door for photon-based computing
Researchers from the University of Maryland claim to have demonstrated the first single-photon transistor using a semiconductor chip.Making a quantum transistor triggered by light has been a previous challenge because it requires that the photons interact with each other, the researchers explain.According to the team, the device is compact: roughly one million of these new transistors could fit inside a single grain of salt. It is also fast and able to process 10billion photonic qubits every second."Using our transistor, we should be able to perform quantum gates between photons," says Professor Edo Waks of the University of Maryland's A. James Clark School of Engineering and Joint Quantum Institute. "Software running on a quantum computer would use a series of such operations to attain exponential speedup for certain computational problems.The photonic chip is made from a semiconductor with numerous holes in it. Light entering the chip bounces around and gets trapped by the hole pattern; a quantum dot sits inside the area where the light intensity is strongest.Analogous to conventional computer memory, the dot stores information about photons as they enter the device. The dot can effectively tap into that memory to mediate photon interactions, meaning that the actions of one photon affect others that later arrive at the chip."In a single-photon transistor the quantum dot memory must persist long enough to interact with each photonic qubit," says Shuo Sun, lead author of the new work. "This allows a single photon to switch a bigger stream of photons, which is essential for our device to be considered a transistor."To test that the chip operated like a transistor, the researchers examined how the device responded to weak light pulses that usually contained only one photon. In a normal environment, such dim light might barely register, however, in this device, a single photon gets trapped for a long time, registering its presence in the nearby dot.The team observed that a single photon could, by interacting with the dot, control the transmission of a second light pulse through the device. The first light pulse acts like a key, opening the door for the second photon to enter the chip. If the first pulse didn't contain any photons, the dot blocked subsequent photons from getting through. This behaviour is similar to a conventional transistor where a small voltage controls the passage of current through its terminals. Here, the researchers successfully replaced the voltage with a single photon and demonstrated that their quantum transistor could switch a light pulse containing around 30 photons before the quantum dot's memory ran out.Prof Waks says that his team had to test different aspects of the device's performance prior to getting the transistor to work. "Until now, we had the individual components necessary to make a single photon transistor, but here we combined all of the steps into a single chip.”Sun says that with realistic engineering improvements their approach could allow many quantum light transistors to be linked together. The team hopes that such speedy, highly connected devices will eventually lead to compact quantum computers that process large numbers of photonic qubits.
