IMPACT OF DIGITAL SYSTEM DESIGN IN THE FIELD OF ARTIFICIAL
INTELLIGENCE AND MACHINE LEARNING:
Digital System Design and its impact in the field of AI and ML:
Digital System Design is the digital circuit design used in the Electronics industry especially in
the VLSI field. It is the implementation of IC chips over several transistors. Digital system
design is process of designing or developing systems which represent information using a binary
system It's easier to store, reproduce, transmit & manipulate digital data & cheaper/easier to
design such systems. Microcontrollers, Microprocessors, Memory chips, FPGA are examples of
digital IC design. Systems like PC can be built using these components and that forms a digital
system or platform.
Advances in integrated circuit (IC) fabrication technology are rapidly outpacing IC design
capabilities. The first ICs contained small scale integrated (SSI) functions, which were
straightforward to design. As device counts increased, early design methods quickly became
obsolete. Today computerized tools are widely used to design very large scale integrated (VLSI)
circuits. These software tools are themselves very complex. Yet with advances in IC fabrication
technology, the pressure to solve more difficult design automation problems continues to
increase. Present software technology like AI and ML has been pressed to the practical limit in
the current generation of digital system design tools. Entirely new approaches to the digital
system design problem are required. Artificial intelligence (AI) technology may hold the key to
solving this problem. Current progress in artificial intelligence is largely attributed to the rapid
development of machine learning, especially in the algorithm and neural network models. The
continues advancement in digital systems designs, the field of Artificial Intelligence and
Machine Learning is enhanced. The limit of the potential of machine learning sets by the
performance of the hardware or the energy efficiency of a computer system. Data-centric
computing requires a revolution in hardware systems since traditional digital computers
supported transistors and therefore the von Neumann architecture weren't purposely designed for
neuromorphic computing. A hardware platform supported emerging devices and new
architecture is that the hope for future computing with vastly improved throughput and energy
efficiency. Challenges for building such a system is starting from materials selection, device
optimization, circuit fabrication, and system integration, to call a couple of, within the same time
processing technology affects this field too with the advancement of higher clock speed
processors these all becomes a lot faster and easier. In earlier times running a neural network
model could even take as long as a couple of days or even more but with the advancement of
new higher processing technologies like GPU (Graphics processing unit), TPU (Tensor
Processing Unit) it all becomes a lot faster and easier and now these all machine learning models
could even run in 10 minutes or even less, These all development in digital system designs
brings out entire changes in the field of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning and in turn
plays a very important role in the evolution of the technology of all the sectors. Access Machine
Learning to all the public in greater aspect is made by CPU and GPU chips. These advancements
in Digital designs also helps in increasing the processing power in several fields of Artificial
Intelligence which like robotics which made it possible for various inventions Some of the
GPUs, Processors and hardware’s are now especially developed for these Machine Learning and
Artificial Intelligence to increase the speed and accuracy to make better and improved models in
less time. Not only in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning but these digital designs and
processors advance all the sectors in terms of processing and data handling power.
