ADVANCEMENTS IN CUSTOM ASIC DEVELOPMENT FOR AI, EDGE COMPUTING, AND IOT APPLICATIONS Balaji Narayan Mamidala Georgia Institute of Technology, USA ---------------------------------------------------------------------------***---------------------------------------------------------------------
ABSTRACT: Custom application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) have become popular again in recent years because people want computers that are fast, use little power, and are small. This piece looks at three main areas where custom ASICs have made big steps forward: ASICs for AI and machine learning, ASICs for edge computing, and ASICs for sensor fusion in IoT applications. Compared to traditional processors, AI accelerator ASICs have made huge improvements in speed and energy efficiency, which has opened the door to new ways of using AI at the edge. Edge computing ASICs give intelligent edge devices big performance boosts and the ability to handle data in real-time. Sensor fusion ASICs are very important for combining and processing data from many devices in Internet of Things (IoT) applications. They do this by lowering latency and making the systems use less energy. The article talks about the main problems, creative solutions, and real-world effects of developing custom ASICs in these areas. It shows how important custom ASICs are for making the next wave of smart and efficient computers possible. Keywords: Custom ASICs, AI Accelerators, Edge Computing, Sensor Fusion, Internet of Things (IoT)
INTRODUCTION: Custom ASIC development has come of age as people try to get the best performance possible while staying within the limits of power, cooling, and size. Users can make hardware that works better for specific tasks with custom ASICs, which are much better than general-purpose options [1]. According to a study by Smith et al., custom ASICs can handle certain tasks up to 10 times faster per watt than general-purpose processors [2]. Custom ASICs can also cut the size of computer systems by up to 50%, which makes them perfect for uses that need to save room [3].
