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

Rethinking AI-Scale Data Center Validation
By Keysight - 27 May, 2026 - Comments: 0

The rapid growth of AI workloads is transforming AI data center networking, exposing critical limitations in traditional Ethernet validation and network testing methodologies. As data centers adopt 1.6T Ethernet, 224G SerDes and optical lanes, and tightly coupled GPU fabrics, networks must deliver ultra-high bandwidth, low latency, and predictable performance under dynamic east-west traffic con... » read more

Semiconductor Engineering sat down to discuss memory interfaces, interconnects, and memory access scaling with Madhumita Sanyal, senior director of technical product management at Synopsys; Swadesh Choudhary, senior principal engineer at Intel; Siamak Tavallaei, senior principal engineer at Samsung SSI; and Mohsen Asad, senior director of technology at Credo. What follows are excerpts of a disc... » read more

Confusion Grows With More Interconnect Options And Tradeoffs
By Liz Allan - 18 May, 2026 - Comments: 0

Key Takeaways: Designers are frequently evaluating 5 or more different interconnects in a single system, each with a distinct purpose. While chip-to-chip (PCIe) and die-to-die (UCIe, BoW) technologies seem to be solving a similar problem, in practice they bring different challenges. PCIe, CXL, NVLink, and UALink are all active in the hyperscaler space, but Ethernet-based technologies... » read more

How Long Will CAN Stick Around As Rival Networks Speed Up?
By Liz Allan - 29 Apr, 2026 - Comments: 0

Key Takeaways Automotive Ethernet is rapidly becoming the backbone of software-defined vehicles for higher bandwidth, scalability, and advanced features like TSN and security that legacy protocols cannot match. CAN, LIN, and other legacy networks will not disappear quickly because they are deeply embedded, low‑cost, and proven, but they are increasingly seen as inadequate for future A... » read more

World First: MACsec IP Receives ISO/PAS 8800 Certification For Automotive And Physical AI Security
By Pavithra Suriyanarayanan - 02 Apr, 2026 - Comments: 0

The automotive industry is entering the age of physical AI. Vehicles are rapidly transforming into intelligent, software-defined systems that perceive their environment, make real-time decisions, and act in the physical world. As autonomy expands and AI workloads move to the edge, one reality is becoming clear: If the data cannot be trusted, the AI cannot be trusted. Following independent... » read more

Chip Industry Week In Review
By The SE Staff - 13 Mar, 2026 - Comments: 0

Disruptions caused by the Iran conflict have taken about one third of the global helium supply off the market, an essential gas for semiconductor manufacturing, reports the World Economic Forum. Other potential impacts for the chip industry include bromine and other chemical shortages, logistical disruptions, and higher energy prices incurred by fabs in Asia. Top Deals IBM and Lam R... » read more

Scale Up, Scale Out Get a New Partner
By Bryon Moyer - 12 Mar, 2026 - Comments: 0

Key Takeaways: Three AI data center scaling strategies are scale-up, scale-out, and scale-across. Scale-up is within a rack; scale-out is between racks; scale-across is between data centers. Each of the three uses a different interconnect strategy to optimize either latency or jitter. As today’s data center workloads — especially for AI and HPC — outgrow the physical, ... » read more

Ultra Ethernet Security (UET‑TSS) Tailored For AI And HPC
By Maxim Demchenko - 05 Mar, 2026 - Comments: 0

As AI and high‑performance computing (HPC) systems scale from racks to entire data centers, the network has become both a performance enabler and a growing attack surface. Modern AI fabrics interconnect thousands of GPUs and CPUs, move massive volumes of sensitive model data, and increasingly rely on direct memory access rather than host‑mediated communication. These trends exposed a fundam... » read more

25G Ethernet: Scaling Data Movement For ADAS, Industry 4.0, And 5G Systems
By Abhinav Kothiala - 05 Mar, 2026 - Comments: 0

The automotive and industrial markets are undergoing rapid transformation, driven by Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) adoption, Industry 4.0 automation, and the rollout of 5G infrastructure. These trends are driving an unprecedented demand for edge AI capabilities and connectivity, with the global Edge AI IC market projected to grow at a 34.7% CAGR and reach $340B by 2034 [1]. Traditio... » read more
