Tools Needed To Track, Catalog Hardware Vulnerabilities
By Adam Kovac - 05 Dec, 2024 - Comments: 0

Monitoring for cyberattacks is a key component of hardware-based security, but what happens afterward is equally important. Logging and cataloging identified hardware vulnerabilities to ensure they are not repeated is essential for security. In fact, thousands of weak points have been identified as part of the chip design process, and even posted publicly online. Nevertheless, many companies... » read more

Radar, AI, And Increasing Autonomy Are Redefining Auto IC Designs
By Ann Mutschler - 05 Dec, 2024 - Comments: 0

Increasing levels of autonomy in vehicles are fundamentally changing which technologies are chosen, how they are used and interact with each other, and how they will evolve throughout a vehicle's lifetime. Entire vehicle architectures are being reshaped continuously to enable the application of AI across a broad swath of functions, prompting increasing investment into technologies that were ... » read more

Where Cryptography Is Headed
By Adam Kovac - 05 Dec, 2024 - Comments: 0

Reports began surfacing in October that Chinese researchers used a quantum computer to crack military-grade AES 256-bit encryption. Those reports turned out to be wrong, but that did little to dampen concerns about what would happen if it was true. The looming threat of quantum computers breaking today's encryption, and the stockpiling of encrypted data in preparation for a time when it can ... » read more

HBM Options Increase As AI Demand Soars
By Laura Peters - 21 Nov, 2024 - Comments: 0

High-bandwidth memory (HBM) sales are spiking as the amount of data that needs to be processed quickly by state-of-the-art AI accelerators, graphic processing units, and high-performance computing applications continues to explode. HBM inventories are sold out, driven by massive efforts and investments in developing and improving large language models such as ChatGPT. HBM is the memory of ch... » read more

Extending The DDR5 Roadmap With MRDIMM
By Zaman Mollah - 14 Nov, 2024 - Comments: 0

Given the voracious memory bandwidth and capacity demands of Gen AI and other advanced workloads, we’ve seen a rapid progression through the generations of DDR5 memory. Multiplexed Registered DIMMs (MRDIMMs) offer a new memory module architecture capable of extending the DDR5 roadmap and expanding the capabilities of server main memory. MRDIMM reuses the lion’s share of existing DDR5 infras... » read more

Managing The Huge Power Demands Of AI Everywhere
By Ann Mutschler - 14 Nov, 2024 - Comments: 1

Before generative AI burst onto the scene, no one predicted how much energy would be needed to power AI systems. Those numbers are just starting to come into focus, and so is the urgency about how to sustain it all. AI power demand is expected to surge 550% by 2026, from 8 TWh in 2024 to 52 TWh, before rising another 1,150% to 652 TWh by 2030. Commensurately, U.S. power grid planners have do... » read more

Providing Line-Rate Network Security With MACsec
By Maxim Demchenko - 07 Nov, 2024 - Comments: 0

Network security protocols are the primary means of securing data in motion; that is, data communicated between closely connected physical devices or between devices and even virtual machines connected using a complex, geographically distributed infrastructure. This blog will explore Media Access Control security (MACsec) and how it can be used to provide foundational level network security for... » read more

Automotive OEMs Focus On SDVs, Zonal Architectures
By Ann Mutschler - 07 Nov, 2024 - Comments: 0

Giant automotive OEMs are re-evaluating how quickly to move to advanced technologies and software-driven designs amid crushing financial pressure from low-cost EVs developed in other markets such as China. U.S., European, and Japanese OEMs have been struggling for the past half-decade or so to figure out which is the best approach to developing EVs, undergoing multiple shifts in both hardwar... » read more

AI Drives IC Design Shifts At The Edge
By Adam Kovac and Ed Sperling - 07 Nov, 2024 - Comments: 0

The increasing adoption of AI in edge devices, coupled with a growing demand for new features, is forcing chipmakers to rethink when and where data gets processed, what kind of processors to use, and how to build enough flexibility into systems to span multiple markets. Unlike in the cloud, where the solution generally involves nearly unlimited resources, computing at the edge has sharp cons... » read more

Chip Industry Week In Review
By The SE Staff - 01 Nov, 2024 - Comments: 0

Siemens announced plans to acquire Altair Engineering, a provider of industrial simulation and analysis, data science, and high-performance computing (HPC) software, for about $10 billion. Altair's software will become part of Siemens' Xcelerator portfolio and provide a boost to physics-based digital twins. Onto Innovation bought Lumina Instruments, a San Jose, California-based maker of lase... » read more
