Orbital Data Centers Are Souped-Up Satellites – For Now
By Liz Allan - 04 Jun, 2026 - Comments: 0

Key Takeaways: Today’s orbital data centers are better described as compute centers in space, as they resemble satellite constellations more than terrestrial data centers. The most common power solution is sun-synchronous solar at the poles, but this requires a multi-hop data relay from power-hungry compute to standard satellite constellations in the low-orbit mesh, then to Earth. ... » read more

Keeping Security Algorithms Current Is Getting Harder
By Ann Mutschler - 04 Jun, 2026 - Comments: 0

Key Takeaways: Keeping security algorithms current is now a lifecycle challenge that spans chip design, manufacturing, deployment, and long-term maintenance across the supply chain. To stay ahead of emerging threats — especially post-quantum risks — hardware must be built with cryptographic agility, secure roots of trust, and reliable update mechanisms from the start. The biggest... » read more

AI-Defined Vehicles Increase Pressure On Auto Ethernet Reliability
By Liz Allan - 04 Jun, 2026 - Comments: 0

Key Takeaways: For AI-defined vehicles and onboard agentic AI, Automotive Ethernet provides high bandwidth for sensor data fusion, TSN ensures low latency and synchronization for real-time decisions, and MACsec secures the data link. Time-sensitive networking (TSN) is an essential protocol for ensuring 10BASE-T1S delivers data to where it needs to go on time. Still, it becomes less esse... » read more

Securing Terabit Ethernet For AI: Where MACsec, IPsec, And UET TSS Each Fit (And Why You Need More Than One)
By Vincent van der Leest - 04 Jun, 2026 - Comments: 0

As AI and HPC systems scale, the network has become both a critical enabler of performance and a rapidly expanding attack surface. The shift from rack-scale compute to cluster- and data center-scale AI infrastructure means that data is no longer confined to a single chip, board, or even system. Instead, it moves continuously across hundreds, or thousands, of endpoints, often at aggregate bandwi... » read more

Breaking The “Unhackable” Xbox One
By Jasper van Woudenberg - 04 Jun, 2026 - Comments: 0

For more than a decade, the Xbox One stood out as one of the most resilient consumer devices ever built. While other consoles from the same era were eventually jailbroken or modified, the Xbox One remained largely untouched. Its layered defenses, hardened boot process, and strong cryptographic foundations earned it a reputation as effectively “unhackable.” That assumption changed at RE//... » read more

Beyond PCIe Compliance: Why Stress Testing Is Crucial For Edge AI Deployments
By Joe Chen - 04 Jun, 2026 - Comments: 0

Passing PCI Express (PCIe) compliance is different from being ready for the field. A PCIe link can clear every test in a controlled lab environment and still develop margin problems six months into deployment. That’s because a compliance traffic generator isn’t designed to replicate real-world operating conditions, such as thermal stress, electrical noise, and the kind of bursty inference t... » read more

Defending Smart Homes Against AI Cyber Attacks
By Steve Hanna - 04 Jun, 2026 - Comments: 0

In recent months, the cybersecurity capabilities of Large Language Models have become increasingly powerful. Recent research shows that today’s frontier models (Claude Mythos and OpenAI GPT 5.5) with proper tooling have cybersecurity capabilities similar to trained cybersecurity practitioners and are doubling their ability every four months. Access to these frontier models has been restricted... » read more

Delivering Automotive-Grade Quality With Customized FinFET Foundation IP
By Andrew Appleby - 04 Jun, 2026 - Comments: 0

By Andrew Appleby, Daryl Seitzer, and Nafiz Ahmed The growing compute demands of modern vehicles are forcing chipmakers to venture into new territory. To deliver increased processor performance for engine and body control systems, one leading semiconductor supplier knew it had to move to an automotive-qualified FinFET technology process — a leap that would introduce significant new desi... » read more

The Edge LLM Offload Story
By Karthikeyan Shanmuga Vadivel - 04 Jun, 2026 - Comments: 0

By Karthikeyan Shanmuga Vadivel and Sauryadeep Pal Developers and system architects today face a growing demand to enable large language model variants on device. They are facing pressure to support transformer-capable models on constrained devices to ensure data privacy, eliminate cloud API charges, and provide offline reliability. On-device execution is also becoming a necessity to meet st... » read more

RISC-V And GPU Synergy In Practice: A Path Toward High-Performance SoCs
By Ke Xu - 04 Jun, 2026 - Comments: 0

With the rapid growth of edge AI and high-performance computing demands, the division of roles within the processor industry is beginning to shift. Recent moves from the dominant CPU IP supplier has increased industry attention on the openness and ecosystem neutrality of the supply chain. Against this backdrop, the value of RISC-V CPU IP is becoming more evident. It offers chipmakers greater... » read more
