GPU Enables Surround View In Automotive Domain Controller


In recent years, the capabilities of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) have flourished. Nearly half of all car sales in the USA offer Level 2 capabilities (such as lane keeping and adaptive cruise control) or higher, and China is pushing the market further towards Level 3 (conditional automation with driver oversight) and beyond. The advanced functionality offered by these ADAS and a... » read more

Race to 448 Gbps


The relentless growth in data center and AI workloads is accelerating the need for faster, more efficient interconnect technologies.
