5 Questions with Professor Dan van der Weide: From Early Research to Acquisition
Professor Dan Van Der Weide, founding director of Wisconsin CHIPS, shares his journey from pioneering terahertz research to leading a major microelectronics initiative. He discusses the center’s recent acquisition, its collaborative innovation model, and how UW–Madison is positioning itself at the forefront of chiplet-based semiconductor technology.
Paving the Way from the P2M Sensing Paradigm to Heterogeneous SoC Design
UW-Madison researchers created a sensor that processes early neural network layers inside each pixel using a P2M (processing-in-pixel-in-memory) design. This cuts energy use by 7.8× and memory by 25×, enabling efficient AI in small devices.
First Mamba Chiplet in GF 22nm
Engineers at UW-Madison have developed a cutting-edge Mamba chiplet using GlobalFoundries’ 22nm process. This breakthrough enhances hardware acceleration for state space models, significantly boosting energy efficiency and performance in sequential data tasks.
