How AI 2.0 Will Shape The Memory Landscape


AI is such a big part of our lives that we don’t even think about it as “AI”; it’s simply normal life these days. If you’ve asked your home assistant for the weather, used a search engine, or been recommended something to watch today, then that’s all been AI discretely at work. While these AI-enabled applications represent notable advancements in incorporating intelligence into syst... » read more

The Implications Of AI Everywhere: From Data Center To Edge


Generative AI has upped the ante on the transformative force of AI, driving profound implications across all aspects of our everyday lives. Over the past year, we have seen AI capabilities placed firmly in the hands of consumers. The recent news and product announcements emerging from MWC 2024 highlighted what we can expect to see from the next wave of generative AI applications. AI will be eve... » read more

Securing Accelerator Blades For Datacenter AI/ML Workloads


Data centers handle huge amounts of AI/ML training and inference workloads for their individual customers. Such a vast number of workloads calls for efficient processing, and to handle these workloads we have seen many new solutions emerge in the market. One of these solutions is pluggable accelerator blades, often deployed in massively parallel arrays, that implement the latest state-of-the-ar... » read more

Video Compression And Forward Error Correction On Display Interfaces


To wrap up our recent series of articles on VESA video compression codecs, this month we will look at the use of video compression on digital display interfaces, using the DisplayPort 1.4 standard as an example. DisplayPort (DP) 1.4 was released in 2016, and this was the first display interface standard for external displays to include support for VESA Display Stream Compression (DSC), a vis... » read more

Driving The Future Of Automotive Displays With Video Compression


Mobile devices have heavily influenced the demand for displays in all areas of our lives over the last decade, and one area where there has been a particularly rapid transformation is in cars. This article will look at some of display trends in cars and investigate how VESA (Video Electronics Standards Association) video compression codecs can be leveraged by automotive designers to meet these ... » read more

Designing Immersive AR/VR Displays


Last month, we looked at how VESA (Video Electronics Standards Association) video compression codecs enable cutting-edge displays. Over the next couple of articles, we will take a closer look at some of the markets where VESA DSC (Display Stream Compression) and VDC-M (VESA Display Compression) compression offer significant benefits for designers working on display-based applications. Demand... » read more

Video Compression Enables Cutting-Edge Displays


Display technology has advanced in leaps and bounds. We can now create professional-quality video content on our mobiles, and our cars often have more displays than our living room. In recent years, electronics manufacturers have been using increasingly sophisticated display feature sets as a way of differentiating their products in the highly competitive consumer electronics market.
