Abacus Semiconductor Memberships

  • Abacus Semiconductor will join the relevant consortia and committees when appropriate.
  • We will certainly join GSA, JEDEC, PCI SIG and IEEE as well as others as needed.
  • We are actively following UALink and UCIe Consortia, CXL and CCIX.
  • In addition to those, we'll see how much and what we can contribute to performance benchmarking as well as to digital resilience.
  • Partnerships

  • Abacus Semiconductor is working with and contributing to the FreeBSD Foundation.
  • The current state of security is best characterized by more holes than the developers can plug, and by the fact that more new security holes appear faster than they can be remedied. More compute at the edge and a re-homing trend of computational capabilities into on-premises data centers create an ever-increasing attack surface. With GenAI being used to optimize these attacks, we must be able to defend those systems and use GenAI to secure the infrastructure. ThinkScan brings GenAI to the edge and to all devices that are exposed and unfortunately must remain exposed. Abacus Semiconductor is actively working with ThinkScan to build a fully secure stack of hardware and GenAI-supported cyberdefense capabilities.
  • We are working with Embecosm to optimize the integration of special-purpose hardware and accelerators into the RISC-V LLVM/CLANG compiler for FreeBSD.
  • If an estimation solution is needed before committing to expensive proprietary EDA tools, OpenROAD plus the ASAP7 PDK or a private PDK is a great solution. For chip implementation on designs when there is more interest in time to market vs PPA on nodes down to 12nm OpenROAD has proven itself. All of the necessary tools and libraries can be found at The OpenROAD Project and Precision Innovations.
  • We firmly believe that we can advance HPC to be a solution for current and future challenges that humankind is facing. As such, we are part of IFTBOH.ORG or "Innovation for the Benefit of Humankind".
  • The current level of Internet and cyber security is unfortunately very low. What is missing is a broad range of technology in hardware, firmware and software, in policies and procedures, and in education. We are trying to address these through participation and involvement in SecureTheVillage. SecureTheVillage is a community-based response to the cybersecurity and privacy crisis. SecureTheVillage is a 501c(3) nonprofit with a vision of a cybersecure global village. To support that mission, we have compiled some recommendations here: Abacus Semiconductor Cybersecurity Suggestions.
