Intel’s X99 chipset accelerates DDR4 adoption

In September, a number of industry heavyweights introduced a range of servers powered by Intel’s recently launched 18-core Xeon E5-2600 v3 (Grantley) chip. The servers – debuted by Hewlett-Packard, Dell, Lenovo and IBM – are the very first to pack DDR4 memory.

Loren Shalinsky, a Strategic Development Director at Rambus, confirmed that the pairing of DDR4 with Intel’s Grantley chips marked the start of DDR4’s wider deployment in the market. It should be noted that DDR4 delivers a 40 percent to 50 percent increase in bandwidth, as well as a 35 percent reduction in power consumption compared to DDR3 memory currently in servers.

How UX helps create a more human relationship with technology

Eliott Jones has spent the vast majority of his career focused on building interactive user experiences (UX) that tastefully combine aesthetics with utility, ease of use and efficiency. Jones, who recently joined Rambus as an expert in user experience design, says the concept of a streamlined and versatile UX is absolutely critical in the evolving semiconductor space.

Design + marketing = success in the semiconductor space

M is the exclusive MLOVE forum dedicated to exploring the future of mobility and connectivity. Organized by MLOVE CEO Harald Neidhardt, the off-the-record, invite-only forum for CEOs, CMOs, entrepreneurs and technology leaders was recently hosted at the Weissenhaus Grand Village Resort & Spa, located in close proximity to the German port city of Hamburg.

Rambus showcases DPA resistant Cryptographic Cores @ ARM TechCon 2014

ARM TechCon 2014 kicks off today in Santa Clara, California. We’ll be at booth #206, showcasing our flagship DPA resistant cryptographic cores and software libraries. The demo shows a comparison of potential vulnerabilities of standard AES implementations in hardware and software versus DPA resistant AES core and library. The standard AES core is susceptible to DPA attacks and leaks a sufficient amount to lose valuable data, while the DPA resistant core shows no significant leakage and remains protected from side-channel attacks.

Protecting FPGAs from side-channel attacks

A field-programmable gate array – or FPGA – is an integrated circuit that can be configured by a customer or designer after manufacturing. As HPC Wire’s Nicole Hemsoth recently reported, FPGAs have found a comfortable home in a broad range of applications that can be very broadly defined as search-based with the arrival of Big Data in HPC, hyperscale and general commercial environments. In addition, FPGAs are seeing significant adoption in research—particularly in the life sciences.
