About Cabling Installation & Maintenance

Our mission: Bringing practical business and technical intelligence to today's structured cabling professionals

For more than 30 years, Cabling Installation & Maintenance has provided useful, practical information to professionals responsible for the specification, design, installation and management of structured cabling systems serving enterprise, data center and other environments. These professionals are challenged to stay informed of constantly evolving standards, system-design and installation approaches, product and system capabilities, technologies, as well as applications that rely on high-performance structured cabling systems. Our editors synthesize these complex issues into multiple information products. This portfolio of information products provides concrete detail that improves the efficiency of day-to-day operations, and equips cabling professionals with the perspective that enables strategic planning for networks’ optimum long-term performance.

Throughout our annual magazine, weekly email newsletters and 24/7/365 website, Cabling Installation & Maintenance digs into the essential topics our audience focuses on.

  • Design, Installation and Testing: We explain the bottom-up design of cabling systems, from case histories of actual projects to solutions for specific problems or aspects of the design process. We also look at specific installations using a case-history approach to highlight challenging problems, solutions and unique features. Additionally, we examine evolving test-and-measurement technologies and techniques designed to address the standards-governed and practical-use performance requirements of cabling systems.
  • Technology: We evaluate product innovations and technology trends as they impact a particular product class through interviews with manufacturers, installers and users, as well as contributed articles from subject-matter experts.
  • Data Center: Cabling Installation & Maintenance takes an in-depth look at design and installation workmanship issues as well as the unique technology being deployed specifically for data centers.
  • Physical Security: Focusing on the areas in which security and IT—and the infrastructure for both—interlock and overlap, we pay specific attention to Internet Protocol’s influence over the development of security applications.
  • Standards: Tracking the activities of North American and international standards-making organizations, we provide updates on specifications that are in-progress, looking forward to how they will affect cabling-system design and installation. We also produce articles explaining the practical aspects of designing and installing cabling systems in accordance with the specifications of established standards.

Imagination Optimizes PPA and Speeds the Delivery of Low-Power GPUs Using AI-Driven Cadence Cerebrus in the OnCloud Platform

Highlights:

  • Using the Cadence AI-driven digital full flow in the cloud, Imagination reduced leakage power on its latest 5nm by 20% and total power by 6% while simultaneously improving area and performance
  • Imagination optimized its latest 5nm GPU design automatically with Cadence Cerebrus generative AI technology
  • Software-as-a-service (SaaS) model provided cost-efficient, rapid access to massively parallel compute and software license capacity for faster turnaround time

Cadence Design Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq: CDNS) today announced that Imagination Technologies successfully utilized the AI-driven Cadence® Cerebrus Intelligent Chip Explorer and the complete RTL-to-GDS digital full flow to accelerate the delivery of their latest low-power 5nm GPUs. By leveraging the Cadence Cerebrus generative AI capabilities in Cadence’s OnCloud platform, which enables pay-for-use flexibility and massive scalability, Imagination automatically reduced leakage power by 20% and total power by 6% while simultaneously improving area and performance.

Using AI-driven Cadence Cerebrus in a SaaS model provided the Imagination design team with the following benefits:

  • Improved productivity, enabling the team to achieve power, performance and area (PPA) goals faster and accelerate time to tapeout
  • Quick ramp-up with an EDA-optimized, ready-to-use, multi-cloud-enabled SaaS model that is security-compliant
  • A cost-efficient, pay-for-use SaaS business model that offers massive compute and software license capacity to serve AI-driven peak demands
  • Cost savings because no additional capital expenditures or IT efforts were required
  • Pre-trained Cadence Cerebrus AI models available to Imagination and Cadence customers as a warm start for their design projects

“Our low-power 5nm GPUs had an aggressive delivery schedule and the AI-driven Cadence Cerebrus using a SaaS model gave us rapid access to a tailored Cadence-managed cloud environment on AWS—all without any CAPEX investment and the long wait times associated with on-premises hardware procurement and IT setup,” said Tim Mamtora, Chief of Innovation and Engineering at Imagination Technologies. “With the powerful combination of Cadence Cerebrus and the complete Cadence digital full flow, our team was able to automate processes that were previously manual, which saved us time and helped us achieve our PPA goals.”

“The AI-driven Cadence Cerebrus and the broader Cadence digital full flow are specifically designed for complex, next-generation designs like Imagination’s low-power 5nm GPUs,” said Dr. Venkat Thanvantri, corporate vice president of AI R&D in the Digital & Signoff Group at Cadence. “Through our collaboration with Imagination, they successfully leveraged AI-driven automation and the flexibility of our SaaS model to dramatically improve PPA and deliver a high-quality GPU design faster.”

The Cadence Cerebrus Intelligent Chip Explorer and the broader digital full flow provide optimal PPA and faster turnaround time, supporting Cadence’s Intelligent System Design strategy, which enables system-on-chip (SoC) design excellence.
