Nvidia Licenses Rambus DPA Countermeasures To Secure Critical GPUs
http://www.tomshardware.com/news/-rambus-dpa-countermeasures-nivida-gpu,32915.html#new_tabRambus designed the countermeasures to protect Nvidia’s GPUs from side-channel attacks that steal encryption keys by measuring a device’s power consumption. Attacks like this can be used to break into protected systems, assist law enforcement…
Rethinking system architecture as Moore’s Law wanes
https://www.rambus.com/blogs/rethinking-system-architecture-as-moores-law-wanes-2/Ed Sperling of Semiconductor Engineering observes that chipmakers are increasingly relying on architectural and micro-architectural changes as the “best hope” for optimizing power and performance across markets, process nodes and price points. “While discussion about the death of Moore’s Law predates the 1-micron process node, there is no question that it is getting harder for even […]
Accelerating high performance computing systems
https://www.rambus.com/blogs/accelerating-high-performance-computing-systems-2/Esthela Gallardo and Patricia J. Teller have penned an article for HPC Wire that explores the various challenges associated with cross-accelerator performance profiling. As Gallardo and Teller note, high performance computing (HPC) systems are comprised of multiple compute nodes interconnected by a network. “Previously these nodes were composed solely of multi-core processors, but nowadays they also […]
The growing demand for FPGAs in servers and data centers
http://www.rambusblog.com/2016/07/25/the-growing-demand-for-fpgas-in-servers-and-data-centers/#new_tabJeff Dorsch of Semiconductor Engineering recently noted that there are a number of distinct advantages and drawbacks to various compute engines available on the market today. “[For example], CPUs offer high capacity at low latency. GPUs have the highest per-pin bandwidth. And FPGAs are designed to be very general,” writes Dorsch. “But each also has […]

From consoles to VR
https://www.rambus.com/blogs/from-consoles-to-vr-2/The Atari 2600 (or VCS) – which hit the nascent video game market back in 1977 – packed 128 bytes RAM and an 8-bit MOS 6507 CPU clocked at a mere 1.19 MHz. According to Wikipedia, the RAM was tasked with handling run-time data, which included the call stack and the state of the game […]
From GDDR to HBM
https://www.rambus.com/blogs/from-gddr-to-hbm-2/A recent KitGuru report suggests AMD has designed its upcoming Radeon R9 380X with high bandwidth memory, or HBM, a next-gen stacked DRAM memory standard. Read first our primer on: HBM2E Implementation & Selection – The Ultimate Guide » “Although HBM provides DDR3 – like bit rate per pin (HBM1=1GHz, HBM2=2GHz), the standard more than […]
