The Future Of Memory
By Karen Heyman - 11 Jan, 2024 - Comments: 1

Experts at the Table: Semiconductor Engineering sat down to talk about the impact of off-chip memory on power and heat, and what can be done to optimize performance, with Frank Ferro, group director, product management at Cadence; Steven Woo, fellow and distinguished inventor at Rambus; Jongsin Yun, memory technologist at Siemens EDA; Randy White, memory solutions program manager at Keysight; a... » read more

Scaling Server Memory Performance To Meet The Demands Of AI
By Tim Messegee - 11 Jan, 2024 - Comments: 0

AI, whether we’re talking about the number of parameters used in training or the size of large language models (LLMs), continues to grow at a breathtaking rate. For over a decade, we’ve witnessed a 10X per year scaling. It’s a growth rate that puts pressure on every aspect of the computing stack: processing, memory, networking, you name it. The platform vendors are responding to the in... » read more

Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC): New Algorithms For A New Era
By Rambus - 10 Jan, 2024 - Comments: 0

Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC), also known as Quantum Safe Cryptography (QSC), refers to cryptographic algorithms designed to withstand attacks by quantum computers. Quantum computers will eventually become powerful enough to break public key-based cryptography, also known as asymmetric cryptography. Public key-based cryptography is used to protect everything from your online communications... » read more

Chip Industry Week In Review
By The SE Staff - 05 Jan, 2024 - Comments: 0

By Susan Rambo, Jesse Allen, and Liz Allan The U.S. government will provide about $162 million in federal incentives, under the CHIPS and Science Act, to help Microchip onshore its semiconductor supply chain. The move is aimed at securing a reliable domestic supply of MCUs and mature-node chips. “Today’s announcement will help propel semiconductor manufacturing projects in Colorado and O... » read more

How Secure Are FPGAs?
By Karen Heyman - 04 Jan, 2024 - Comments: 1

The unique hybrid software/hardware nature of FPGAs makes them tempting targets for cyberattacks, while also enabling them to rebuff attacks and change the attack surface before significant damage can be done. But it's becoming increasingly challenging to address all the potential vulnerabilities. FPGAs are often included in larger systems, each with their own unique attack vectors as well a... » read more

Side-Channel Attack Protection For Quantum Safe Cryptography
By Bart Stevens - 04 Jan, 2024 - Comments: 0

A recent Reuters Special Report discussed the race between the US and China to protect digital assets and communications from the potential threat posed by quantum computers. Cryptographically relevant quantum computers, those that are powerful enough to crack existing public key-based encryption methods, could compromise military, economic, and personal information across the globe. While the ... » read more

Package Propagation Delay Dependency Of Advanced Fly-By Routing For Next Generation DDR5
By Rambus - 03 Jan, 2024 - Comments: 0

Package signal transit delay is an important parameter for high-speed designs like DDR5. Package delay along with PCB delay dictates the data rates of DDR5 interface running at 4.0 Gbps and beyond. From DDR3 (third generation DDR) onwards, daisy chain routing has been widely used as it can support high data rate operations by providing smaller trace stubs and capacitive loadings. Even so, beyon... » read more

Top Tech Videos of 2023
By Liz Allan - 29 Dec, 2023 - Comments: 0

In 2023, heterogeneous integration, RISC-V, and advanced node logic scaling and advanced packaging dominated the semiconductor industry. All of those topics spurred deep discussions at conferences, and they were the subject of Semiconductor Engineering's most popular videos. Of the videos published in 2023, here are the highlights from our five channels: Manufacturing, Packaging & Mater... » read more

Dramatic Changes Ahead For Chips And Systems
By Karen Heyman - 21 Dec, 2023 - Comments: 0

Early this year, most people had never heard of generative AI. Now the entire world is racing to capitalize on it, and that's just the beginning. New markets, such as spatial computing, quantum computing, 6G, smart infrastructure, sustainability, and many more are accelerating the need to process more data faster, more efficiently, and with much more domain specificity. Compared to the days ... » read more

Blog Review: Dec. 20
By Jesse Allen - 20 Dec, 2023 - Comments: 0

Siemens' Huw Geddes finds that the flexibility offered by the RISC-V ISA can introduce further verification and validation requirements to ensure that the combination of extensions and customization not just works but does not break anything else while delivering expected performance, plus looks at how processor trace can help. Cadence's Gustavo Araujo explains the various optimizations in t... » read more
