100G Ethernet At The Edge
By Ed Sperling - 19 Apr, 2023 - Comments: 0

The amount of data is growing, and so is the need to process it closer to the source. The edge is a middle ground between the cloud and the end point, close enough to where data is generated to reduce the time it takes to process that data, yet still powerful enough to analyze that data quickly and send it wherever it is needed. But to make this all work requires faster conduits for that data i... » read more

CXL Memory: Detailed Characterization Analysis Using Micro-Benchmarks And Real Applications (UIUC, Intel Labs)
By Technical Paper Link - 30 Mar, 2023 - Comments: 0

A new technical paper titled "Demystifying CXL Memory with Genuine CXL-Ready Systems and Devices" was published by researchers at University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) and Intel Labs. Abstract: "The high demand for memory capacity in modern datacenters has led to multiple lines of innovation in memory expansion and disaggregation. One such effort is Compute eXpress Link (CXL)-based... » read more

The March Toward Chiplets
By Ed Sperling and Karen Heyman - 15 Dec, 2022 - Comments: 0

The days of monolithic chips developed at the most advanced process nodes are rapidly dwindling. Nearly everyone working at the leading edge of design is looking toward some type of advanced packaging using discrete heterogeneous components. The challenge now is how to shift the whole chip industry into this disaggregated model. It's going to take time, effort, as well as a substantial reali... » read more

Using Silicon Photonics To Reduce Latency On Edge Devices
By Technical Paper Link - 26 Oct, 2022 - Comments: 0

A new technical paper titled "Delocalized photonic deep learning on the internet’s edge" was published by researchers at MIT and Nokia Corporation. “Every time you want to run a neural network, you have to run the program, and how fast you can run the program depends on how fast you can pipe the program in from memory. Our pipe is massive — it corresponds to sending a full feature-leng... » read more

Decreasing Refresh Latency of Off-the-Shelf DRAM Chips
By Technical Paper Link - 28 Sep, 2022 - Comments: 0

A new technical paper titled "HiRA: Hidden Row Activation for Reducing Refresh Latency of Off-the-Shelf DRAM Chips" was published by researchers at ETH Zürich, TOBB University of Economics and Technology and Galicia Supercomputing Center (CESGA). Abstract "DRAM is the building block of modern main memory systems. DRAM cells must be periodically refreshed to prevent data loss. Refresh oper... » read more

Co-Packaged Optics In The Data Center
By Ed Sperling - 08 Jun, 2022 - Comments: 0

Just because faster Ethernet is added to the data center doesn’t mean existing hardware can utilize it efficiently. Scott Durrant, strategic marketing manager at Synopsys, talks with Semiconductor Engineering about the rapid rollout of faster Ethernet rates, problems in moving data to the front module of the switch and how much energy is required, and what optical technology can bring to the ... » read more

Novel H2H mapping algorithm with both computation and communication awareness
By Technical Paper Link - 06 May, 2022 - Comments: 0

New research paper "H2H: Heterogeneous Model to Heterogeneous System Mapping with Computation and Communication Awareness" from University of Pittsburgh, Georgia Tech. Abstract: "The complex nature of real-world problems calls for heterogeneity in both machine learning (ML) models and hardware systems. The heterogeneity in ML models comes from multi-sensor perceiving and multi-task lear... » read more

A Case for Transparent Reliability in DRAM Systems
By Technical Paper Link - 29 Apr, 2022 - Comments: 0

New technical paper from ETH Zurich and TU Delft. Abstract "Today's systems have diverse needs that are difficult to address using one-size-fits-all commodity DRAM. Unfortunately, although system designers can theoretically adapt commodity DRAM chips to meet their particular design goals (e.g., by reducing access timings to improve performance, implementing system-level RowHammer mitigati... » read more
