Week In Review: Automotive, Security and Pervasive Computing


The AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety estimates that between 2021 and 2050, ADAS technologies currently available to U.S. will prevent "approximately 37 million crashes, 14 million injuries, and nearly 250,000 deaths, which would represent 16% of crashes and injuries, and 22% of deaths that would otherwise occur on U.S. roads without these technologies," according to a new report. Governmen... » read more

Research Bits: June 5


Improving memristors Researchers at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) have demonstrated a reliable Interface-type (IT) memristive device (memristor) that shows promise as a technique for building artificial synapses in neuromorphic computing. The team made its memristor — a component that which combines memory and programming functions — using a simple Au/Nb-doped SrTiO3 (Nb:STO) Sc... » read more

A technical paper titled "Accelerating AI Using Next-Generation Hardware: Possibilities and Challenges With Analog In-Memory Computing" was published by researchers at Lund University and Ericsson Research. Abstract "Future generations of computing systems need to continue increasing processing speed and energy efficiency in order to meet the growing workload requirements under stringent en... » read more

Week In Review: Semiconductor Manufacturing, Test


South Korea slashed chip production in February by 17.7% compared to the previous month — 41.8% year-over-year, and the sharpest drop since 2008 — according to figures from South Korea’s National Statistics Office. Inventories were up 33.5%, while exports dropped by 41.6%. China launched a security probe into U.S. memory chipmaker Micron in apparent retaliation for U.S. restrictions on... » read more
