In the company's "Communication Time (weekly regular meeting)," a popular activity is the ranking guessing quiz. Recently, the topic was "2020 Semiconductor Manufacturer Ranking (TOP 10)," so I will provide the names of the manufacturers that KIT is related to in a work context (used as a user) from the TOP 10. Ranked first, and also the clear number one as a user, is Intel. This is a strong contender with no surprises, as we rely heavily on them not only for computer CPUs but also for FPGAs. NVIDIA is on the rise in the rankings, and its usage rate is increasing within our company. The rise in the rankings is said to be driven by AI, but it originally excelled in image processing chips, and we are utilizing it as a GPU board with improved performance. However, to fully leverage its capabilities, we still need to understand the underlying mechanisms, which is a chance for us as a development company to showcase our skills. Considering the semiconductor components we purchase and implement, FPGA was the clear number one, so it seems the person who proposed this theme hit the mark. *News is distributed through our company newsletter.
