Counterfeit Semiconductors in Military Equipment
https://www.rambus.com/blogs/counterfeit-semiconductors-in-military-equipment/Here’s a fact: the counterfeit market for semiconductors is real, sizable and growing. Here’s a much more sobering fact: earlier this decade, the Senate Armed Services Committee found over 1,800 cases where counterfeit electronic components were introduced into U.S. military hardware, including airplanes, helicopters and missiles. Let’s be clear about what that means; in each […]
Combating Counterfeit Semiconductors in the Military Supply Chain
https://go.rambus.com/combating-counterfeit-semiconductors-in-the-military-supply-chain#new_tabThe counterfeit market for semiconductors is real, sizable and growing. The Senate Armed Services Committee found over 1,800 cases where counterfeit electronic components were introduced into U.S. military hardware including airplanes, helicopters and missiles. Counterfeit chips pose serious risk to military equipment and the service personnel who depend on that hardware to perform their mission.
The HPC Bottlenecks of Amdahl’s Other Law
https://www.rambus.com/blogs/the-hpc-bottlenecks-of-amdahls-other-law/Written by Steven Woo As we discussed in our previous blog post, there is a sense of growing concern in the high-performance computing (HPC) space over successive generations of supercomputers that have continued to move further and further away from architectural balance between compute and memory resources. This is because compute performance has improved at […]
Protecting medical devices with a hardware-based root of trust
https://www.rambus.com/blogs/protecting-medical-devices-with-a-hardware-based-root-of-trust/Nicole Wetsman of The Verge recently penned an in-depth article about the many security issues plaguing the global health care sector. Protecting medical devices is not an easy job. As Wetsman observes, most hospitals and physicians are unprepared to counter critical cybersecurity threats, even though they pose a clear and present danger to public health. […]
