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

If you are designing chips for high-performance computing (HPC) and data center applications, bandwidth is, of course, a key consideration. However, as data centers get bigger and the required compute power increases, keeping power consumption to a minimum becomes a priority. In
Data Centers face many challenges in an environment of exponentially rising data volume growth. With workload demands increasing rapidly, the need for more bandwidth and capacity continues to rise. We’ve reached the point where half of server bill of materials (BoM) costs are for memory. How can we make the best use of this investment?
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
The tremendous amount of data generated by AI/ML driven applications and other hyperscale computing applications have forced the age old server architecture to change. The new architecture is driven by the resource disaggregation paradigm, wherein memory and storage are decoupled from the host CPU and managed independently… Read More
