Dream Chip is a company based in Germany just outside Hannover. Martin Zeller presented at CDNLive Silicon Valley on A New Computer Vision Processor Chip Design for Automotive ADAS CNN Applications in 22nm FDSOI. That title is long enough already, but you also need to unpack the acronyms. ADAS is advanced driver assistance system, basically a stepping-stone on the way to fully autonomous driving. CNNs are convolutional neural networks, which is the modern way that vision processing is done for recognizing things like traffic signs and pedestrians. FDSOI, usually written FD-SOI, is fully-depleted silicon-on-insulator, which is an alternative technology for FinFET, originally developed by ST Microelectronics at 28nm, and then licensed to both Samsung and GLOBALFOUNDRIES. GLOBALFOUNDRIES took it to 22nm and have a family of processes that they call 22FDX. cdnlive logo breakfast bytesdream chip at CDNliveDream Chip is a company based in Germany just outside Hannover.
