Writing for PC Magazine, Michael J. Miller notes that although most of the discussion around Moore’s Law has thus far focused on logic chips, the
Jeep hack highlights critical automotive vulnerabilities
Security researchers Charlie Miller and Chris Valasek recently highlighted a series of automotive vulnerabilities when they hacked a Chrysler jeep driven by Wired journalist Andy Greenberg. Indeed, the duo managed to (wirelessly) assume control over dashboard functions, steering, transmission and brakes.
IoT postcards from the digital edge
Along with Robert Scoble and Ben Parr, Rambus CMO Jerome Nadel recently took part in a keynote discussion at the IoT Influencers Summit. The closing session – which also featured AKQA Chairman Tom Bedecarre and Edith Yeung of 500 Mobile Collective – explored how consumers will interact with their IoT devices and applications in a world where everything is connected.
Hardware-based encryption market revenue to hit $36.4 billion
There are a number of ways for companies to secure data – whether on the perimeter or within the local area network (LAN). However, as ABI Research analysts recently confirmed, the most fundamental method in a defense-in-depth model is hardware encryption.
The Big Data-genomics link
Did you know that a single human genome sequence constitutes an approximate 140-gigabyte data file? Not surprisingly, it took 10 years and $3 billion to completely map the first human genome. Fortunately, as Datanami’s Alex Woodie confirms, the medical establishment has come a long way since its big genomics breakthrough in 2003.
Server market growth tied to increased memory demand
Loren Shalinsky, a Strategic Development Director at Rambus, recently penned an article for Semiconductor Engineering that explores how server market growth has prompted a salient increase in memory demand. “A high-end server can have 48 or more DIMM slots, providing nearly 200x the memory capacity as a standard PC. A server not only requires more memory, but also higher bandwidth memory,” he explained.
