AI explosion is clearly driving semi-industry since 2020. AI processing, based on GPU, need to be as powerful as possible, but a system will reach optimum only if it can rely on top interconnects. The various sub-system parts (memory, processor, co-processor, network) need to be connected with interface links with ever more bandwidth… Read More
The increasing demands of data-intensive applications necessitate more efficient storage and memory utilization. The rapid evolution of AI workloads, particularly with Generative AI (GenAI), demands infrastructure that can adapt to diverse computational needs. AI models vary widely in resource requirements, necessitating… Read More
Artificial Intelligence (AI) continues to revolutionize industries, from healthcare and finance to automotive and manufacturing. AI applications, such as machine learning, deep learning, and neural networks, rely on vast amounts of data for training, inference, and decision-making processes. As AI algorithms become … Read More
The performance demands of data centers continue to grow, driven to large degree by the ubiquitous use of complex AI algorithms. On April 25, Embedded Computing Design held an informative webinar on this topic. Two experts looked at the problem from the standpoint of processor architecture and communication strategies, which… Read More

While web browsing I constantly glance for the padlock symbol to indicate that the site is encrypting any of my form data by using the https prefix, which means that an SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) certificate is being used by the web hosting company. I have peace of mind knowing that my credit card information cannot be easily stolen… Read More
For decades now I’ve watched the incredible growth of SoCs in terms of die size, transistor count, frequency and complexity. Instead of placing all of the system complexity into a single, monolithic chip, there are now compelling reasons to use a multi-chip approach, like when the maximum die size limit is reached, or it’s… Read More
Madhumita Sanyal, Sr. Technical Product Manager, and Gary Ruggles, Sr. Product Manager, discussed the tradeoffs between power and latency in PCIe/CXL data centers during a live SemiWiki webinar on January 26, 2023. The demands on PCIe continue to grow with the integration of multiple components… Read More
Before the advent of the digitized society and computer chips, things that needed protection were mostly hard assets such as jewelry, coins, real estate, etc. Administering security was simple and depended on strong guards who provided security through physical means. Then came the safety box services offered by financial … Read More
Although version 2.0 of the Computer Express Link (CXL) standard is just making it into new designs, the next generation, version 3.0, has been approved and is now ready for designers to implement the new silicon and firmware needed to meet the new standard’s performance specifications. CXL, an open industry-standard interconnect,… Read More
