Ed Sperling of Semiconductor Engineering recently noted that new memory types and approaches are being developed as Moore’s Law begins to slow. “What fits where in the memory hierarchy is becoming less clear as the semiconductor industry grapples with these changes,” he explained. “New architectures, such as fan-outs and 2.5D, raise questions about how many […]
Did you know that many industry pundits originally believed there was “little money” to be made in the business of open source software? “As the wave of Linux distributions rolled forth, however, that was quickly disproven, setting the decades-long chain of companies that have secured their footing, funding, and futures on the back of open […]
Ernest Worthman and Ed Sperling of Semiconductor Engineering recently co-authored a fascinating article that explores the surprising origins of back doors in the technology sector. “One of the first open references [to back doors] was in the 1983 movie WarGames,” the two explained. “In reality, modern back doors predate Hollywood’s discovery by about 20 years, […]
Deployment advances Scotland-wide commercial smart ticketing initiative EAST KILBRIDE, SCOTLAND – March 10, 2016 – The largest privately-owned bus company in Scotland, McGill’s, has selected Nevis Technologies, the joint venture between Ecebs and Strathclyde Partnership for Transport that serves as the delivery agent for smart integrated ticketing, to provide the systems for commercial smartcard ticketing. […]
The semiconductor industry is at an inflection point facing challenges, including rising development costs, shrinking margins, market saturation and unprecedented consolidation. Although no stranger to boom and bust cycles, semiconductor companies are actively seeking a return to stability via a more sustainable and collaborative business paradigm. In this context, Rambus and the Global Semiconductor Alliance […]
Eric Weddington, an Open Source Architect at Trimble, recently published an article on LinkedIn Pulse that examines the possibility of making Integrated Circuits (ICs) and microprocessors open source. “What would it take to do that? Imagine it would have to take small groups or individuals, perhaps University teams, to get their hands on some semiconductor […]
Cloud computing is perhaps best known for offering users ubiquitous and convenient on-demand network access. “[The cloud provides a] pool of configurable computing resources such as shared networks, servers, storage, applications, and services,” Ernest Worthman of Semiconductor Engineering recently explained. “What makes this so attractive is these services can be provisioned and adapted to the […]
Mitigating the effects of a declining Moore’s Law will no doubt take many forms. We’re all wondering what the next disruptive technology will be to make the worries moot. In the meantime, one approach to dealing with a stalled Moore’s Law is floated in a recent Rambus Blog, ‘Moore’s Law in the FaaS Lane’ – […]
