Concerns mount on the use of American-manufactured semiconductors in Russian weapons, with Analog Devices, AMD, Intel and TI set to testify next week before the U.S. Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations. Also, U.S. and other government agencies issued a joint advisory and more details about ongoing Russian military cyberattacks, espionage, and sabotage. The U.S. Commerce Departmen... » read more

Navigating Complexity And Enhancing Security In Advanced Automotive Systems

By Adiel Bahrouch - 05 Sep, 2024 - Comments: 0

As the automotive industry advances towards higher levels of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), the complexity of vehicles is growing at an unprecedented rate. Modern vehicles are equipped with an increasing array of ADAS sensors, sophisticated algorithms, powerful processors, advanced in-vehicle networks, and millions of lines of software code. These components are crucial for processi... » read more

CPU Performance Bottlenecks Limit Parallel Processing Speedups

By Bryon Moyer - 12 Aug, 2024 - Comments: 0

Multi-core processors theoretically can run many threads of code in parallel, but some categories of operation currently bog down attempts to raise overall performance by parallelizing computing. Is it time to have accelerators for running highly parallel code? Standard processors have many CPUs, so it follows that cache coherency and synchronization can involve thousands of cycles of low-le... » read more

Memory Implications Of Gen AI In Gaming

By Tim Messegee - 08 Aug, 2024 - Comments: 0

The global gaming market across hardware, software and services is on track to exceed annual revenues of $500B in 2025.1 That’s bigger by an order of magnitude than the combination of movies and music. On the cutting edge of that enormous market is open world gaming, where the driving goal is to give players the freedom to do anything they can imagine in a coherent and immersive environment. ... » read more

Power Delivery Challenged By Data Center Architectures

By Ann Mutschler - 08 Aug, 2024 - Comments: 0

Processor and data center architectures are changing in response to the higher voltage needs of servers running AI and large language models (LLMs). At one time, servers drew a few hundred watts for operation. But over the past few decades that has changed drastically due to a massive increase in the amount of data that needs to be processed and user demands to do it more quickly. NVIDIA's G... » read more

Chip Industry Week in Review

By The SE Staff - 02 Aug, 2024 - Comments: 0

Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology proposed a new EUV litho technology using only four reflective mirrors and a new method of illumination optics that it claims will use 1/10 the power and cost half as much as existing EUV technology from ASML. Applied Materials may not receive expected U.S. funding to build a $4 billion research facility in Sunnyvale, CA, due to internal government... » read more

A Practical Approach To Inline Memory Encryption And Confidential Computing For Enhanced Data Security

By Ajay Kapoor - 01 Aug, 2024 - Comments: 0

In today's technology-driven landscape in which reducing TCO is top of mind, robust data protection is not merely an option but a necessity. As data, both personal and business-specific, is continuously exchanged, stored, and moved across various platforms and devices, the demand for a secure means of data aggregation and trust enhancement is escalating. Traditional data protection strategies o... » read more

Chip Security Now Depends On Widening Supply Chain

By Ann Mutschler - 01 Aug, 2024 - Comments: 0

Securing chips is becoming more challenging as SoCs are disaggregated into chiplets, creating new vulnerabilities that involve hardware and software, as well as multiple entities, and extending threats across a much broader supply chain. In the past, much of the cyber threat model was confined to either hardware or software, and where multiple vendors were involved, various chips were separa... » read more

Post-Quantum Computing Threatens Fundamental Transport Protocols

By Karen Heyman - 01 Aug, 2024 - Comments: 0

The Transport Level Security (TLS) protocol is one of the few rock-steady spots in the rapidly changing computing industry, but that's about to change as quantum computers threaten traditional encryption schemes. Because TLS is fundamental to network communications, including allowing Internet of Things (IoT) devices to function properly, researchers already are exploring both hardware and s... » read more
