In the context of machine learning, a convolutional neural network (CNN, or ConvNet) can perhaps best be defined as a category of feed-forward artificial neural network in which the connectivity pattern between its neurons is inspired by the organization of the animal visual cortex. According to Stanford staff, convolutional Neural Networks are quite similar to ordinary […]
PC World’s Agam Shah reports that Microsoft is working with Rambus to develop and build prototype computers with memory subsystems that can be cooled at cryogenic temperatures, typically below minus 180 degrees Celsius or minus 292 degrees Fahrenheit. “Cryogenics goes hand in hand with quantum computers, which promise to be significantly faster than today’s PCs […]
Earlier this week, Rambus confirmed that it is expanding ongoing collaboration with Microsoft researchers to develop prototype systems which optimize memory performance in cryogenic temperatures. Commenting on the announcement, Jim McGregor, principal analyst and founder of TIRIAS Research, told the EE Times that computing, especially in the data center, is evolving to include intelligence through […]
Rambus and Microsoft are currently researching various opportunities to optimize memory and interface solutions for operation at cryogenic temperatures for future generation data centers. As per Moore’s Law, memory systems have achieved exponential improvements in energy efficiency, density and per-bit cost for decades. These gains have facilitated the rapid growth in centralized computing – commonly […]
A research program focused on cryogenic temperature computing as an avenue to surpass the slowing of Moore’s Law for next generation data centers in the age of Big Data and cloud computing
Paul Kocher, a Rambus security technology advisor, recently sat down with Ed Sperling of Semiconductor Engineering to discuss a wide range of topics, including the evolving cryptographic landscape in the age of quantum computing and artificial intelligence (AI). As Kocher emphasizes, cryptography is the one aspect of security that the industry still expects to function […]
Lucian Constantin of IDG News Service confirms that attackers have begun adding data-wiping routines to malware targeting Internet of Things (IoT) devices. One such example is Amnesia, which infects digital video recorders by exploiting a well-known vulnerability. “Amnesia is a variation of an older IoT botnet client called Tsunami, but what makes it interesting is […]
The adoption of smart cards as an alternative to paper and magnetic stripe tickets continues to increase. Deployments such as Oyster in London and Octopus in Hong Kong illustrate the success of smart card-based ticketing systems for both transport operators and passengers. Despite the popularity of physical smart cards, the smart ticketing space is steadily […]
Richard Moore, a Product Manager at Rambus Ecebs, recently spoke with Transport Ticketing Global staff about host card emulation (HCE) and why the software-based architecture is a “game changer” for smart ticketing. As Moore explains, HCE creates a virtual smart card on NFC-enabled smartphones, allowing the mobile devices to act as secure ‘virtual’ travel tickets. […]
The increased adoption of frictionless commerce by public transport operators is a critical prerequisite for the evolution of smart cities. This is precisely why transport operators have steadily replaced paper tickets and tokens with smart cards and contactless payment cards, as well as mobile apps that allow passengers to use their smartphones to conveniently board […]
