Optimizing memory for next-gen computing
https://www.rambus.com/blogs/mid-optimizing-memory-for-next-gen-computing/Semiconductor Engineering Editor in Chief Ed Sperling recently noted that getting data in and out of memory is just as important as optimizing the speed and efficiency of a processor. “[Nevertheless], for years design teams managed to skirt the issue because it was quicker, easier and less expensive to boost processor clock frequencies with a […]
From F15s to buffer chips
https://www.rambus.com/blogs/from-f15s-to-buffer-chips-2/Rambus CMO Jerome Nadel recently sat down with The CMO Club to discuss the diverse origins of his marketing career. Similar to many of his peers, Nadel did not originally set out to become a marketer. Indeed, his background is in psychology and scientific research, both of which saliently continue to influence his marketing approach […]
Rambus and Microsoft explore future memory systems
https://www.rambus.com/blogs/rambus-and-microsoft-explore-future-memory-systems-2/Rambus has confirmed that it will be collaborating with Microsoft researchers to explore future memory requirements for quantum computing. According to Rambus Labs VP Gary Bronner, existing computer architectures are reaching their limits due to the ever-increasing demands of real-time data consumption. “[This] is driving the need to explore new high-performance, energy-efficient computer systems,” said […]
Breaking software-based White Box Cryptography (WBC)
https://www.rambus.com/blogs/security-breaking-software-based-white-box-cryptography-wbc/Ernest Worthman of Semiconductor Engineering recently described White Box Cryptography (WBC) as a “novel approach” that implements cryptography algorithms in software, rather than hardware. “The idea is to keep the cryptographic assets secure against attacks, using code obfuscation,” he explained. “Essentially, a white box implementation is taking a key and creating, in software, a key-instantiated […]
Eliminating system bottlenecks with smart data acceleration
https://www.rambus.com/blogs/mid-eliminating-system-bottlenecks-with-smart-data-acceleration/To many in the industry, system memory is viewed as little more than a silicon holding pen for temporarily storing program commands and data during execution. Nevertheless, the dramatic growth of Big Data – driven by the burgeoning Internet of Things (IoT) – has prompted a number of key industry players to re-examine the traditional […]
Brain implant bypasses spinal paralysis
https://www.rambus.com/blogs/csi-brain-implant-bypasses-spinal-paralysis/Researchers at Case Western Reserve University in Ohio have developed a brain implant that allowed a paralyzed man to bypass his spinal injury and move his arm and hand. According to Antonio Regalado of MIT’s Technology Review, the Utah Electrode Array comprises 96 silicon needles that record the electrical impulses of neurons inside the brain. […]
Addressing Modern Bottlenecks With Smart Data Acceleration
http://semiengineering.com/addressing-modern-bottlenecks-with-smart-data-acceleration/#new_tabOver the past 30 years, the relentless progression of Moore’s Law has driven dramatic improvements in transistor counts and ultimately in processor performance.
Evaluating XaaS security risks
https://www.rambus.com/blogs/security-evaluating-xaas-security-risks/Writing for Semiconductor Engineering, Ernest Worthman notes that the Cloud-centric concept of Anything-as-a-Service (XaaS) hopes to simplify everything from cutting-edge business to consumer applications. “On the consumer side, it promises to take everything from your recipe book to your daily programs and the slew of applications and move them to the Cloud,” Worthman explained. “[However], […]
What’s worse than a password?
https://www.rambus.com/blogs/security-whats-worse-than-a-password/Did you know that a September 2015 US Office of Personnel Management (OPM) system breach resulted in 5.6 million leaked fingerprints? “We’ve all seen movies that included a clever way to get someone’s fingerprints, and I never thought much about it,” Jimmy Pike, an analyst Moor Insights & Strategy, wrote in Forbes. “Now a huge […]
