If the future were to be categorized in one word, it would be “data-centric”. For decades, IC vendors have designed chips that have all functions integrated on the same die; however, scaling monolithic IC becomes more difficult and costly as the industry sees the slowdown of Moore’s law. IC vendors have been pushed towards “advanced …
