Going beyond DRAM with Smart Data Acceleration
https://www.rambus.com/blogs/going-beyond-dram-with-smart-data-acceleration-2/Ed Sperling of Semiconductor Engineering recently noted that new memory types and approaches are being developed as Moore’s Law begins to slow. “What fits where in the memory hierarchy is becoming less clear as the semiconductor industry grapples with these changes,” he explained. “New architectures, such as fan-outs and 2.5D, raise questions about how many […]
What is Near Field Communication?
https://www.rambus.com/blogs/what-is-near-field-communication/What is NFC? NFC is an acronym for Near Field Communication, which is close-range contactless communication between devices that can be used for payment, tickets, secure entry, keys, etc. There are three modes of operation that have been developed: The phone is used as a reader to read RFID tags and contactless smart cards, for […]
Charting a New Course for Semiconductors
https://go.rambus.com/charting-a-new-course-for-semiconductors#new_tabAfter half a century of sustained expansion and innovation, semiconductor sales and profits are noticeably slowing. This can be attributed to a number of factors, including the rising cost of designing and manufacturing new chips. Although still at a relatively nascent stage, open-source hardware has already managed to positively disrupt the semiconductor industry by encouraging innovation, […]
The evolution of RISC-V and open source
http://www.rambusblog.com/2016/03/15/1479/#new_tabDid you know that many industry pundits originally believed there was “little money” to be made in the business of open source software? “As the wave of Linux distributions rolled forth, however, that was quickly disproven, setting the decades-long chain of companies that have secured their footing, funding, and futures on the back of open […]

CryptoManager: Between ASICs and FPGAs
https://www.rambus.com/blogs/cryptomanager-between-asics-and-fpgas/Manufacturers typically configure application-specific integrated circuits (ASICS) for targeted use cases. In contrast, a field-programmable gate array – or FPGA – is an integrated circuit with custom logic that is configured by a customer or designer after manufacturing of the underlying FPGA microchip. Although FPGAs offer a number of advantages – including low, non-recurring engineering […]
