Data centers need a new paradigm
https://www.rambus.com/blogs/mid-data-centers-need-a-new-paradigm/Semiconductor Engineering editor in chief Ed Sperling has written an article exploring the evolution of the data center in the context of the Cloud. As Sperling notes, corporate data centers are notorious for their reluctant adoption of new technology. “There is too much at stake to make quick changes, which accounts for a number of failed […]
Building the IoT with solar-powered smart sensors
https://www.rambus.com/blogs/csi-building-the-iot-with-solar-powered-smart-sensors/As MIT’s Larry Hardesty notes, the rapidly evolving Internet of Things (IoT) is expected to boast extremely low-power sensors capable of running for months on a single charge using various energy harvesting techniques. Indeed, MIT researchers have designed a power converter chip designed to both power a device and charge a battery that’s more than […]
Bolstering mobile security for the IoE
https://www.rambus.com/blogs/security-bolstering-mobile-security-for-the-ioe/Writing for Semiconductor Engineering, Ernest Worthman notes that approximately six billion people rely on a variety of mobile devices to shop, bank, interface with social media and monitor their health. “Unless you are on the inside track and know better, one would think that all that data is secure. Reality is somewhat different,” Worthman explains. […]
Bringing your own encryption and keys to the Cloud
https://www.rambus.com/blogs/security-bringing-your-own-encryption-and-keys-to-the-cloud/Sean McGrath of InformationWeek recently confirmed that the rise of the public Cloud as a “de-facto standard” has prompted businesses to ask new questions about their respective security procedures. “The answer to numerous security questions and concerns lies, of course, in encryption,” he explained. “The earliest forms of cryptography were found in hieroglyphs carved into […]
Robots and sensors eyed for civil construction
https://www.rambus.com/blogs/robots-and-sensors-eyed-for-civil-construction-2/Writing for the New Civil Engineer, Greg Pitcher reports that civil contractors will increasingly use robots and sensors to create structures in futuristic offsite factories. “In 10 years’ time I see robots and robotic machinery being used in offsite construction facilities, rather than cranes and forklift trucks,” Duncan White, the director of science and industry […]

PC World packs 128GB of DDR4 – into a single PC
https://www.rambus.com/blogs/pc-world-packs-128gb-of-ddr4-into-a-single-pc-2/PC World executive editor Gordon Mah Ung recently announced that his team successfully “smashed right through” the traditional 64GB system RAM barrier. “[The] barrier has vexed consumer computing for years now. Mainstream desktop PCs have all featured four slots for a maximum of 32GB of DDR3 RAM,” he explained. [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XhrS-nApIw4] “At the high-end, prosumer […]
Improving machine vision under low-light conditions
https://www.rambus.com/blogs/improving-machine-vision-under-low-light-conditions-2/A recent study conducted by researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology hypothesizes that hawkmoths manage complex sensing and control challenges by slowing their brains to improve vision under low-light conditions. As Futurity’s John Toon notes, scientists have long been aware of moths using their specialized eye structures to maximize the amount of light they […]
