By Jesse Allen, Gregory Haley, and Liz Allan Synopsys acquired Imperas, pushing further into the RISC-V world with Imperas' virtual platform technology for verifying and emulating processors. Synopsys has been building up its RISC-V portfolio, starting with ARC-V processor IP and a full suite of tools introduced last month. The first high-NA EUV R&D center in the U.S. will be built at... » read more

The Journey To Exascale Computing And Beyond

By Steven Woo - 14 Dec, 2023 - Comments: 0

High performance computing witnessed one of its most ambitious leaps forward with the development of the US supercomputer “Frontier.” As Scott Atchley from Oak Ridge National Laboratory discussed at Supercomputing 23 (SC23) in Denver last month, the Frontier had the ambitious goal of achieving performance levels 1000 times higher than the petascale systems that preceded it, while also stayi... » read more

HBM3 Memory: Break Through to Greater Bandwidth

By Rambus - 13 Dec, 2023 - Comments: 0

Delivering unrivaled memory bandwidth in a compact, high-capacity footprint, has made HBM the memory of choice for AI/ML and other high-performance computing workloads. HBM3 as the latest generation of the standard raises data rates to 6.4 Gb/s and promises to scale even higher. The Rambus HBM3 controller provides industry-leading support of the extended roadmap for HBM3 with performance to 9.6... » read more

Security Becoming Core Part Of Chip Design — Finally

By Ann Mutschler - 07 Dec, 2023 - Comments: 1

Security is shifting both left and right in the design flow as chipmakers wrestle with how to build devices that are both secure by design and resilient enough to remain secure throughout their lifetimes. As increasingly complex devices are connected to the internet and to each other, IP vendors, chipmakers, and systems companies are racing to address existing and potential threats across a ... » read more

Getting Ready For The Quantum Computing Era: Thoughts On Hybrid Cryptography

By Bart Stevens - 07 Dec, 2023 - Comments: 0

Once quantum computers, more specifically Cryptographically Relevant Quantum Computers (CRQCs), have become powerful and reliable enough, they will enable adversaries to break current asymmetric encryption, placing important data and assets at risk. New digital signatures and key encapsulation mechanisms (KEMs) are needed, and while considerable progress has been made in recent years to develop... » read more

Post-Quantum Cryptography/PQC: New Algorithms For A New Era

By Rambus - 06 Dec, 2023 - Comments: 0

Quantum computing is being pursued across industry, government and academia globally with tremendous energy, and powerful quantum computers will become a reality in the not-so-distant future. To ensure today’s data remains protected into the future, we need to implement now security solutions that safeguard against quantum attacks. Click here to read more. » read more

Autonomous Vehicles: Not Ready Yet

By John Koon - 27 Nov, 2023 - Comments: 0

The swirl of activity around L4 and L5 vehicles has yet to result in a successful demonstration of an autonomous vehicle that can navigate the streets of a city or highway without incident, and there is a growing body of real-world data showing that much work still needs to be done. Robo-taxi trials in big cities such as San Francisco, Los Angeles, and soon San Diego, are proving that autono... » read more
