Securing 2.5D and fan-outs
https://www.rambus.com/blogs/security-securing-2-5d-and-fan-outs/Semiconductor Engineering editor-in-chief Ed Sperling recently noted that the long-anticipated move to 2.5D and fan-outs raises a number of familiar questions about security. “Will multiple chips combined in an advanced package be as secure as SoCs where everything is integrated on the same die? The answer isn’t a simple yes or no,” he opined. “Put […]
Lensless computational sensor clinches “Best Paper Award”
https://www.rambus.com/blogs/csi-lensless-computational-sensor-clinches-best-paper-award/The International Academy, Research, and Industry Association (IARIA) recently presented the “Best Paper Award” to a team of Rambus researchers for their work on ultra-miniature, computationally efficient diffractive visual-bar-position sensors. Authored by Mehjabin Monjur, Leonidas Spinoulas, Patrick R. Gill and David G. Stork, the paper, which was presented at SENSORCOMM 2015 in Italy, describes the […]
The 3MB of RAM in William Gibson’s Neuromancer
https://www.rambus.com/blogs/mid-the-3mb-of-ram-in-william-gibsons-neuromancer/Neuromancer, a 1984 cyberpunk novel by William Gibson, was the first winner of the science fiction triple crown: the Nebula Award, the Philip K. Dick Award and the Hugo Award. Marking the beginning of the Sprawl trilogy, the book tells the story of Case, a washed-up computer hacker hired by an enigmatic employer. According to […]
The Turing-morphogenesis link
https://www.rambus.com/blogs/csi-the-turing-morphogenesis-link/Alan Turing played a major role in cracking intercepted coded messages during WWII. Indeed, Turing may very well have shortened the war in Europe by an estimated two to four years. Often considered the father of theoretical computer science and artificial intelligence, Turing was also active in the field of mathematical biology, publishing the “The […]
Dartmouth engineers unveil new Quanta Image Sensor (QIS)
https://www.rambus.com/blogs/dartmouth-engineers-unveil-new-quanta-image-sensor-qis-2/Researchers at Dartmouth’s Thayer School of Engineering have unveiled a new Quanta Image Sensor (QIS) designed to significantly enhance low-light sensitivity. Thayer professor Eric Fossum, the engineer and physicist who invented the CMOS image sensor used in a plethora of mobile devices, says QIS is targeted at a number of applications and platforms, including security […]
Home Media Magazine says Vidity is “on a roll”
https://www.rambus.com/blogs/security-home-media-magazine-says-vidity-is-on-a-roll/Thomas K. Arnold, the publisher & editorial director of Home Media Magazine, says Vidity is “on a roll” as the Ultra HD industry takes off. “Developed by the Secure Content Storage Association (SCSA), [Vidity] offers consumers the chance to store and move digital content, including Ultra HD files, around from device to device, from the […]

Moore’s Law: From 16 kB to 16GB
https://www.rambus.com/blogs/mid-moores-law-from-16-kb-to-16gb/James Sanders of TechRepublic has confirmed that 16 GB SO-DIMM modules are now starting to become generally available from multiple vendors. “[This] eases RAM constraints in devices that have a limited number of slots for RAM modules,” he explained. “However, due to hardware limitations, these RAM modules do not work with all systems that are […]
White House eyes sensors for smart cities
https://www.rambus.com/blogs/csi-white-house-eyes-sensors-for-smart-cities/Writing for The Verge, Jacob Kastrenakes reports that the White House has allocated $160 million to create smart cities. “[These] cities are wired up with sensors that can relay data back to local organizations, companies and governments so that they can identify issues and more quickly respond to changes,” he explained. “The initiative is pretty […]
Minding the memory gap
https://www.rambus.com/blogs/minding-the-memory-gap-2/Mark LaPedus of Semiconductor Engineering recently reported that memory chips and storage devices are struggling to keep pace with the growing demands of data processing. “To solve the problem, chipmakers have been working on several next-generation memory types. [However], most technologies have been delayed or fallen short of their promises,” he explained. “But after numerous delays, […]
