Nvidia had its annual GTC gathering of AI developers, fans, media, and gamers recently. The newly announced Nvidia Blackwell platform is scheduled for release in late 2024/early 2025. Blackwell will likely lead to another round of "world domination" - I say that tongue in cheek - for the Nvidia. One thing that struck me is the raw performance the Nvidia GPUs support. Imagine the engineering that goes into develeoping signal channels for the HBM, NVLink, PCIe, CXL, and numerous other … [Read more...]

15 or 60? – Leap Years Explained
A friend of mine told me his birthday was coming up. He told me it was his 15th. "What?" I thought. He's older than me. He then told me his birthday was on February 29. Duh! Now that makes sense. Leap Years! I know we have "leap years," but I could not actually remember why. Maybe I am 60, but not quite yet. Anyway, I cranked up the "Google Machine" to see what I could find. As with any Google search, you can quickly go down a rabbit hole. I guess I should have asked ChatGPT to write this … [Read more...]
CXL 3.0 AI Emulation Platform With Excellent Performance at 64 GT/s
Popular topics at SC23 included Exascale and quantum computing, AI and machine learning, and cybersecurity, among others. CXL is one of those hot topics.

New Signal Integrity Handbook Explains Fundamentals
I recently audited a Signal Integrity (SI) class, and as a non Engineer I found it to be extremely challenging. In layman's terms, Signal Integrity is securing the signal connection path from point A to point B. From there understanding SI basics like impedance, insertion loss, and crosstalk, are critical to an optimized system design. Luckily Samtec's newly updated Signal Integrity Handbook and our SI experts are ready to support your engineering challenges! Getting the basics with the … [Read more...]
