HBM2e Offers Solid Path For AI Accelerators
By Sanjay Charagulla - 13 Jun, 2019 - Comments: 0

Today, AI processors are so blazingly fast that they’re constantly having to wait for data from memory. Unfortunately, with the status quo, memory is just not fast enough to unleash the true performance of those new and highly advancing AI processors. In simple terms, AI processor performance is rapidly growing, and memory is not keeping up. This creates a bottleneck, or what Rambus calls the... » read more

Smarter than a Smart Card
By Rambus - 12 Jun, 2019 - Comments: 0

Set-top boxes (STBs) were initially secured by Conditional Access System (CAS) smart cards. However, this approach is no longer effective. Smart cards cannot prevent unauthorized access to premium 4K and UHD content, as they are not designed to protect the interface between the card and box, or the STB SoC itself. This is one of the reasons why cardless CAS set-top boxes, equipped with a hardwa... » read more

Machine Learning Drives High-Level Synthesis Boom
By Kevin Fogarty - 06 Jun, 2019 - Comments: 0

High-level synthesis (HLS) is experiencing a new wave of popularity, driven by its ability to handle machine-learning matrices and iterative design efforts. The obvious advantage of HLS is the boost in productivity designers get from working in C, C++ and other high-level languages rather than RTL. The ability to design a layout that should work, and then easily modify it to test other confi... » read more

Full Disk Encryption of Solid State Drives and Root of Trust
By Rambus - 05 Jun, 2019 - Comments: 0

File encryption, file system encryption and full disk encryption (FDE) are methods offered by the industry to allow users to protect their data stored on non-volatile storage devices, such as Solid State Disks (SSD). The main feature of FDE is to protect stored system and user date from unauthorized reading, writing, alteration, moving or rolling back. However, extended security feature... » read more
