The memory industry has always gone through a predictable boom-and-bust cycle, but the pandemic and geopolitical instability has introduced new twists to the market over the course of 2022, and uncertainty will continue to play a role in 2023. In late 2021, the automotive sector was an indicator for looming supply chain woes. As recently […]
AI accelerator chip company Untether has released a new version of its imagAIne software development kit (SDK) for the company’s first-gen runAI chip, which will allow bare-metal programming for customers in fast-moving neural network applications or high performance computing (HPC). “What really limits the adoption of [startups’] AI hardware accelerators is the software stack,” said […]
Chiplets are getting a lot of interest as of late, so much so that a Universal Chiplet Interconnect Express (UCIe) consortium recently formed to corral best practices into a standard. Now, a Silicon Valley startup, Eliyan Corporation, is coming out of stealth mode to show it can contribute to the chiplet ecosystem with a more […]
As 2022 comes to an end, EE Times is highlighting memorable stories from each of its editors over the past year. Today’s spotlight is on Anne-Françoise Pelé, editor-in-chief for EE Times Europe and correspondent at EE Times. Anne-Françoise Pelé joined CMP as editor-in-chief of the newly-launched EETimes.fr in 2003 and participated in the formation of EE […]
A CIS (CMOS image sensor) is a sensor that converts the color and brightness of light captured through a lens into an electrical signal and transmits it to a processing unit. Accordingly, these image sensors act as the eyes of mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets. Recently, CIS technology has garnered attention as a […]
The remote-work era spawned by the pandemic shone a light on the need for robust security when endpoints exponentially proliferate and workloads become more distributed. Nvidia’s latest data processing unit (DPU) reflects that these distributed-computing environments are here to stay—and that hardware has a key role to play in implementing zero-trust security, whether it’s in […]
The U.S. military is fueling the early growth of Light Fidelity (LiFi), a high-speed broadband mechanism that uses the light spectrum to transmit and receive data. Two companies involved with this technology, pureLiFi and Signify, have secured major contracts with the Army and Navy to enhance current communications systems with an additional layer of security. […]
Politicians like to talk a lot about the new well-paying jobs that green engineering initiatives will create in a bid for a decarbonized society. Strangely, there is hardly any talk about these new jobs in engineering forums. During EE Times’ Green Engineering Summit, which is taking place virtually today through Thursday, a panel discussion planned […]
With the recent formalization of a chiplet standard, it was inevitable that verification IP support would follow. Avery Design Systems, known for its functional verification solutions for key semiconductor technologies, including PCI Express (PCIe), Compute Express Link (CXL), and HMB3, now offers comprehensive support for the new Universal Chiplet Interconnect Express (UCIe) with high–quality models […]
Depending on who you talk to, the removable memory card, most familiar in the form of a Secure Digital (SD) or CompactFlash (CF) form factor, is waning in favor. Rather, embedded options or even solid-state drives (SSDs) with small form factors have become the memory solution of choice because of their ability to handle the […]
