Ernest Worthman of Semiconductor Engineering recently interviewed Steven Woo, a VP and distinguished inventor at Rambus. The two discussed the numerous challenges facing the rapidly evolving Internet of Things (IoT), including security and low power sipping requirements. As Woo points out, security and privacy are critical topics, with a significant amount of concern being expressed […]
Writing for Semiconductor Engineering, Ed Sperling confirms the industry is now in “full pursuit” of the Internet of Things (IoT). “In fact, what started as a trickle has turned into something that more closely resembles Niagara Falls,” Sperling opines. “This is particularly true for the so-called Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), where smart sensors on a […]
Data center architectures have seen very few radical changes since the commercial introduction of the IBM System/360 mainframe in 1964. There have been incremental improvements in speed and throughput over the years, with a move to a client/server model in the 1990s, but from a high level this is still an environment where data is […]
Tom’s Hardware has announced that Rambus lensless smart sensors (LSS) won the publication’s “Best Of” (hardware) award for Mobile World Congress 2015. It should be noted that Rambus LSS technology clinched the “Best of MWC” award from Tom’s Guide in 2014. Designed by Rambus scientists, LSS is roughly analogous to the way a human, animal […]
A number of prominent journalists covered Rambus’ lensless smart sensors (LSS) demo during Mobile World Congress 2015, including CNET’s Stephen Shankland. “With chip-based camera technology from Rambus, your next smartphone may understand a new range of commands issued by moving your hands and wiggling your fingers in front of the screen instead of by touching […]
Writing for AnandTech, Ian Cutress recently explained why DDR4 was first launched in the enthusiast space. “On the server side, any opportunity to use lower power and drive cooling costs down is a positive, so aiming at [Intel] Xeons and high-end consumer platforms was priority number one,” he said. “Any of the big players in […]
Eaton’s Cooper Lighting is now offering an optional integrated sensing and control system in certain solid-state lighting (SSL) luminaires based on WaveStream™ light guide technology. According to Maury Wright of LEDs Magazine, Metalux Encounter and SkyRidge LED luminaires can be ordered with an adaptive control option for installation in areas where energy codes require occupancy sensing and […]
Imagination Technologies, a veteran GPU designer and the new owner of the low-power processor architecture MIPS, launched the G6020 at MWC – a GPU that is intended to serve the low-power requirements needed for devices in the wearables and IoT markets.
Remember Rambus? The company that developed RDRAM (Rambus DRAM). No? That’s not surprising; we haven’t heard much from them in the past decade since RDRAM stopped being Intel’s standard for memory. Well, apparently the company has been quite busy over the years, with RDRAM and its successor XDR DRAM, currently being used in PlayStation 2 […]
Written by LSS co-inventor Dr. Patrick Gill Human eyes – and perhaps more importantly our brains – offer such a high degree of general-purpose visual object recognition and spatial awareness that it’s difficult to imagine them doing anything but relaying a coherent picture of objects. But imagine if you were a scallop. You would be […]
