GDDR7 Momentum Accelerates As A Key Solution For AI Inference


The AI hardware landscape continues to evolve at a breakneck speed, and memory technology is rapidly becoming a defining differentiator for the next generation of GPUs and AI inference accelerators. When NVIDIA introduced Rubin CPX, its new class of GPU tailored for massive context inference, it underscored a new industry reality: memory throughput and efficiency are now just as critical as ra... » read more

Exploring The Latest Innovations In MIPI D-PHY And MIPI C-PHY


By Michael Nagib and Nuno Martins In the ever-evolving landscape of high-performance camera and display technologies, MIPI D-PHY and MIPI C-PHY specifications continue to lead the charge, setting benchmarks for low power, low latency, and high bandwidth data transmission. Building on the insights from our previous article, “Demystifying MIPI C-PHY/D–PHY Subsystem” – we now delve into... » read more

Smarter Write Barriers For Arm64 In .NET CoreCLR


Last year, I explored how you can use the Arm Scalable Vector Extension (SVE) in .NET to unlock SIMD performance at scale. This year, my focus has shifted to something less visible but just as fundamental to runtime performance. Write barriers in the CoreCLR garbage collector (GC). Write barriers are not a feature most .NET developers ever think about. They do not change how you write C# cod... » read more

How And Why To Optimize NPUs


Experts At The Table: AI/ML are driving a steep ramp in neural processing unit (NPU) design activity for everything from data centers to edge devices such as PCs and smartphones.  Semiconductor Engineering sat down with Jason Lawley, director of product marketing, AI IP at Cadence; Sharad Chole, chief scientist and co-founder at Expedera; Steve Roddy, chief marketing officer at Quadric; Steven... » read more

Liquid Cooling Gains Traction In Data Centers


All electronics generate heat, and that heat must be removed to ensure those electronics don’t overheat. Moving air has been the predominant approach for decades, with liquid cooling limited to particularly intense computing workloads, largely in the supercomputing domain. With the rise in AI, data-center power density has grown to the point where liquid cooling is now seeing a larger buil... » read more

Whale-Inspired Propulsion System To Reduce Operating Costs By 20%


This article is an excerpt from the presentation delivered by Bluefins at CadenceCONNECT CFD 2025. Shipping is essential to global trade, as it transports nearly 90% of all traded goods. Large ships consume between 20 to 70 tons of fuel daily, which translates to approximately 15 million euros in annual fuel costs. This level of fuel consumption results in emissions of up to 75,000 tons of C... » read more

Will 2026 Be Dominated By AI?


Many opportunities and problems became highly interlinked in 2025, fueled by the historic growth in everything AI. But how close are we coming to breaking points, and what are people doing to mitigate them? That is the story that will unfold this year. AI's penetration into an increasing number of workloads is placing almost quadratic demands on compute, memory, interconnect, and the archite... » read more

From Reactive Monitoring To Proactive Optimization: The Next Evolution In Data Center Design And Infrastructure Management (Ebook)


Data centers are under more pressure than ever. Surging AI workloads, rising energy consumption, and increasingly complex cooling and power systems are pushing traditional DCIM (Data Center Infrastructure Management) tools to their limits. To stay competitive, operators must shift from reactive monitoring to proactive, simulation-driven optimization. Our free eBook reveals how leading organi... » read more
