Accelerating high performance computing systems
https://www.rambus.com/blogs/accelerating-high-performance-computing-systems-2/Esthela Gallardo and Patricia J. Teller have penned an article for HPC Wire that explores the various challenges associated with cross-accelerator performance profiling. As Gallardo and Teller note, high performance computing (HPC) systems are comprised of multiple compute nodes interconnected by a network. “Previously these nodes were composed solely of multi-core processors, but nowadays they also […]
Exploring future memory requirements for quantum computing
https://www.rambus.com/blogs/exploring-future-memory-requirements-for-quantum-computing-2/Quantum computing utilizes quantum-mechanical phenomena, including superposition and entanglement, to perform operations on data. According to Wikipedia, quantum computers differ from traditional binary digital electronic systems based on transistors. To be sure, digital computing encodes data into binary digits (bits), each of which is always in one or two definite states: 0 or 1. In […]
Intel says DDR4 is ramping quickly
https://www.rambus.com/blogs/intel-says-ddr4-is-ramping-quickly-2/Last week at IDF 2016, Intel executive Geof Findley presented a comprehensive overview of the memory industry ecosystem. According to Findley, DDR4 is ramping quickly and should hit 31% of shipments during the second quarter of 2016. With volume shipments kicking off in 2014, almost all servers are now shipping with DDR4, while most PCs […]
Building a seismic supercomputer in the shadow of Dennard Scaling
https://www.rambus.com/blogs/building-a-seismic-supercomputer-in-the-shadow-of-dennard-scaling-2/Bert Beals of Cray Inc. recently told the Digital Energy Journal that the industry can no longer simply build an efficient supercomputer for seismic processing by simply adding more processors. Indeed, because Dennard Scaling no longer applies, advanced microprocessors now require more power and additional cooling for heat dissipation. Moreover, even though engineers might fit […]
Are today’s avionics systems more vulnerable to cyberattacks and to side channel attacks?
https://www.newelectronics.co.uk/electronics-technology/are-todays-avionics-systems-more-vulnerable-to-cyberattacks-and-to-side-channel-attacks/144332/#new_tabCybersecurity and aviation experts believe a growing number of commercial aircraft could be vulnerable to on board computers being hacked or taken over remotely by passengers with malicious intent.
Safecracking goes high-tech with side-channel attacks
https://www.rambus.com/blogs/safecracking-goes-high-tech-with-side-channel-attacks-2/During the early days of safecracking, rudimentary rotary locks were compromised by feel or sound to determine the correct combination. Following in this tradition, a security researcher known as Plore recently demonstrated how side-channel attacks can be exploited to unlock “high security” electronic safes without leaving any evidence of unauthorized access. A side-channel can perhaps […]
Protecting avionic systems from side-channel attack
https://www.rambus.com/blogs/protecting-avionic-systems-from-side-channel-attack-2/Asaf Ashkenazi, a senior director of product marketing at Rambus’ security division, recently sat down with Neil Tyler of NewElectronics to discuss the potential threat side-channel attacks pose to avionic systems. As Tyler points out, encryption is typically used to protect aerospace platforms. Although it is difficult to break the cryptographic algorithm itself, devices can […]
ChipEstimate and Rambus look beyond DDR4
https://www.rambus.com/blogs/chipestimate-and-rambus-look-beyond-ddr4-2/Frank Ferro, a senior director of product management at Rambus, has penned an article for ChipEstimate about the future of DRAM in the age of the IoT. According to Ferro, the semiconductor industry has traditionally relied on Dennard Scaling and Moore’s Law to ensure the creation of ever more advanced process nodes at a steady cadence. […]
