Happy 25th birthday, HAL!
https://www.rambus.com/blogs/happy-25th-birthday-hal/Rambus Fellow Dr. David G. Stork recently penned an article for Semiconductor Engineering to mark the 25th birthday of HAL 9000, a (fictional) sentient computer which became operational on January 12, 1992 at the HAL Laboratories in Urbana, Illinois. “Nearly a half-century ago [in 2001: A Space Odyssey], Arthur C. Clarke and Stanley Kubrick introduced […]

Looking beyond Dennard Scaling
https://www.rambus.com/blogs/looking-beyond-dennard-scaling-2/Robert H. Dennard co-authored his now-famous paper for the IEEE Journal of Solid State Circuits way back in 1974. Essentially, Dennard and his engineering colleagues observed that as transistors are reduced in size, their power density stays constant. Meaning, power use stays in proportion with area, as both voltage and current scale (downward) with length. […]

Maximizing Von Neumann architecture
https://www.rambus.com/blogs/maximizing-von-neumann-architecture-2/In 1945, mathematician and physicist John von Neumann described a design architecture for an electronic digital computer in the First Draft of a Report on the EDVAC. Also known as the Princeton architecture, the design included a processing unit with an arithmetic logic unit and processor registers; a control unit containing an instruction register and […]
