Resilient And Optimized GenAI Systems


AI and data center systems are being pushed to their limits, with soaring complexity, nonstop inference workloads, and rising energy demands. Addressing these pressures requires more than incremental improvements, it calls for collaboration across the ecosystem. That’s why proteanTecs has joined forces with Arm, bringing our real-time monitoring technology into Arm’s Neoverse Compute Subsys... » read more

Chip Innovation Will Bridge The Gap For USA Data Center Power


Heading to meetings in Silicon Valley, I often drive through Santa Clara, passing boxy buildings with few windows. They are data centers for local customers willing to pay for low latency. Data centers cluster in Santa Clara because that city's power has been the cheapest in Silicon Valley. The San Jose Mercury News recently reported that two data centers in Santa Clara are empty, waiting for a... » read more

FPGAs Find New Workloads In The High-Speed AI Era


FPGAs are finding new applications in the age of artificial intelligence, high-speed wireless communications, medical and life science technology, and in complex chip architectures where they can improve the flow of data. Field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) enable designers to reprogram or reconfigure digital logic after the chips have been deployed, which is essential in the AI world, wher... » read more

AI Bubble Or Boom?


Are we in an AI bubble? Parallels are being drawn to the dot.com boom/bust of 1999-2000. In the dot.com bust, many high-tech companies valuations soared up 10X, then deflated. The peak P/E ratio for the Nasdaq Composite was 200! Remember Webvan? It went public November 1999 with an $8 billion valuation, then filed for bankruptcy 19 months later. It was much speculation without profits or gro... » read more
