Square Kilometre Array (SKA) targets the Big Bang
https://www.rambus.com/blogs/mid-square-kilometre-array-ska-targets-the-big-bang/Currently under development, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) will ultimately comprise an array of 3,000 individual radio telescopes. According to ZDNet’s Nick Heath, the SKA will be tasked with gathering cosmic emissions in an attempt to “see” the universe a few hundred million years after the Big Bang, farther back in time than any telescope […]
Data centers eye next-gen memory options
https://www.rambus.com/blogs/data-centers-eye-next-gen-memory-options-2/Semiconductor Engineering editor in chief Ed Sperling recently noted that data center architecture has experienced very few radical changes since the commercial introduction of the IBM System/360 mainframe way back 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 […]
AnandTech analyzes DDR4 and beyond
https://www.rambus.com/blogs/anandtech-analyzes-ddr4-and-beyond-2/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 […]
A Blueprint for Smart Rail Travel
https://www.rambus.com/blogs/a-blueprint-for-smart-rail-travel/A recent study by the Office of Rail Regulation has found that rail passenger journeys are continuing to increase. With the national network already at breaking point, this growing demand could break the system if steps are not taken to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of operations. Adopting smart ticketing within transport strategies at a […]
Cyber attack shatters the digital-physical barrier
https://www.rambus.com/blogs/cyber-attack-shatters-the-digital-physical-barrier-2/Writing for Wired, Kim Zetter reports that a recent cyber intrusion in Germany marked the second confirmed case in which a (wholly) digital attack caused physical destruction of equipment. “The first case, of course, was Stuxnet,” Zetter explained. “That attack was discovered in 2010 and since then experts have warned that it was only a […]
The evolution of LPDDR4
https://www.rambus.com/blogs/the-evolution-of-lpddr4-2/Ajay Jain, a director of product marketing at Rambus, recently told Semiconductor Engineering that LPDDR3 was the “workhorse” of the mobile memory market in 2014. According to Jain, LPDDR3 will retain its heavyweight status throughout most of 2015 before it is supplanted by next-gen LPDDR4. “There are a couple of trends evolving in the mobile […]
