Good things come in pairs. Peanut butter and jelly, Batman and Robin, Thelma and Louise, turkey and dressing, Kirk and Spock, terminal and socket – just to name a few. Samtec’s latest duo is another good pair that will spare you the sticky fingers (although a police chase would make for a really awesome story).

Samtec Emulates Real World AI System Architectures at AI HW Summit
AI chip solutions are getting faster. GPUs, the workhorse of many applications, seem to increase in performance while also reducing power. Other AI chip solutions like IPUs, TPUs and traditional FPGAs and SoCs feature 112 Gbps PAM4 transceivers. Getting data from point A to point B as fast as possible always seems to be a challenge. Fortunately, at the upcoming AI Hardware Summit 2022, co-located with the AI Edge Summit, technical experts from Samtec will focus on a number of 112 … [Read more...]

AI Hardware Summit
As machine learning models continue to grow in size and complexity, and more and more models enter production in enterprises worldwide, the way we approach accelerating these workloads is changing. At the front end, data-centricity is taking precedence over model-centricity. At the back end, AI practitioners want systems that are performant and efficient, but also sustainable, explainable and accountable. From massive research models like GPT-3, to day-to-day models deployed by enterprises … [Read more...]
Modular Design Reduces Supply Chain Risks
"Supply chain." Who knew that business term would become part of everyday conversation. Supply chain issues are everywhere. Key shipping ports and shipping lanes are finally becoming unclogged. Retailers have too much clothing, but not enough household supplies. Consumers can't find their favorite personal brands. Construction projects are being delayed. In the electronic components industry, raw materials are hard to come by. Fab closures in some geographies are affecting lead times. … [Read more...]
AI HW Summit: Samtec Accelerates 112 Gbps PAM4 Adoption
Something occurred to me recently. AI hardware system architectures are really applications-specific. Computing platforms from laptops, desktops, workstations and servers follow classical architectures. Inputs, outputs, a central processing unit, busses (control, data and memory), data memory and program or instruction memory all balance in harmony in so many facets of our daily lives. Granted, accelerators using FPGAs and GPUs are affecting system architectures. Distributed memory and … [Read more...]
The Rockets Red Glare, our VITA 90 VNX+ Industry Standards Landing Page is now On Air
My poetry may not be as polished as Francis Scott Key with the lyrics of the United States National Anthem. The United States is celebrating Independance Day and it seems fitting to make a reference to rockets. The VITA 90 standard is designed to be the smallest standardized form factor that could be used in todays "rockets", or small tubular things that fly. The Rockets Red glare mentioned in the anthem where what Key saw from Fort McHenry during the war of 1812. These rockets were not a … [Read more...]
PECFF AI Hardware System Architecture With New Cable Backplane
This live product demonstration from OFC 2022 emulates real-world AI system architectures, based on the PECFF form factor. It incorporates a PECFF backplane with PECFF add-in-cards. Matt Burns, Technical Marketing Manager at Samtec, walks us through the demonstration. He explains that we're comparing the performance of two backplane architectures. The first is a traditional rigid PCB backplane, with Samtec HSEC6-DV edge card connectors interfacing with the PECFF add-in … [Read more...]
