The demand for live webinars and podcasts exploded as the recent pandemic exploded. Not only could listeners stay updated, but webinars also provided a sense of community. As an example, Samtec's gEEk® spEEk Webinar Series started during this time, and it continues monthly with a loyal following. In a post-pandemic world, podcasts have increased in popularity. As society adjusts to post-pandemic norms, the on-demand nature of podcasts appeals to listeners. With ~850,000 global podcasts, … [Read more...]

They are an opportunity to learn directly from the … [Read more...]
Samtec Participates in PICMG Embedded Implementers’ Forum
Just do it! Do the work! Whatever phrase is used, embedded engineers thrive at accomplishing their design goals. However, next-gen solutions are more complex, small, and dense. Implementers are challenged to design next-gen solutions in quickly evolving applications like rail transportation, aerospace, and more. Getting a leg up in the design and implementation of complex systems offers improvements in time to market, cost, performance, reliability, and manufacturability. Another benefit … [Read more...]
Samtec and Arrow Partner on New Intel® Agilex™ 5 E-series SoC Dev Kit
"Intelligent edge." That is a new term for many. Basically it refers to the the increased computational capabilities at the edge of the communications networks. Typically, heavy compute loads are executed in data centers or on supercomputers. As the "intelligent edge" ramps up performance, those calculations are enabled by embedded devices using multicore CPUs, FPGAs, SoCs, and the like. Intelliegent edge and embedded computing applications combine faster speeds with lower power … [Read more...]
Samtec and Partners Present Industry Workshop at IMS 2023
May The Fourth Be With You! It's always my goal to write the Samtec blog on May 4, but it doesn't always work that way. Force ghosts, Mando, Grogu, and old-school Bib Fortuna, Star Wars (and other sci-fi movies) make me think about what's possible. Who'd ever think we'd have such global connectivity? In Star Wars, if you were out of communications range, a droid would just boost power. That's what Obi-Wan Kenobi asked R4-P17 ("R4" for short) to do when they were on Geonosis in Star Wars: … [Read more...]
New prodesign Acceleration Card Includes Samtec NovaRay® Extreme Density Arrays
The recent popularity and interest in ChatGPT underscore the progress AI has made in affecting everyday life. Who has asked ChatGPT to finish a homework assignment or write a blog? (For full disclosure, this blog has been written by a real person. Or has it? 😉) In any case, the backbone of chatbots like ChatGPT and similar services are high-performance compute platforms enabling neural networks and AI acceleration in data centers. Obviously, GPUs have a leadership position in AI hardware … [Read more...]
Samtec Releases New Evaluation and Development Kits
Readers of the Samtec blog know that the demand for data keeps increasing. Rightly, data center applications may be the first to enter one's mind. However, faster speeds are required in AI/ML, Mil/Aero, Automotive, Medical, Instrumentation, and many other applications as well. Engineers developing new products at higher speeds need reassurance that the components they select work as advertised. Samtec-designed Evaluation and Development Kits simplify the interconnect design process and reduce … [Read more...]
Samtec Highlights Latest Interconnect Solutions at embedded world 2023
It's coming - embedded world 2023! Can you wait for it? No, it's not The Mandalorian Season 3 (Wasn't that awesome?!??!), but rather embedded world 2023. For embedded designers and engineers, embedded world 2023 generates almost as much anticipation as the latest Star Wars, Marvel or other sci-fi project. ew23 offers a global platform for the embedded community to network, learn, exhibit and gain insight into all things embedded. This year, ew23 takes place March 14-16, 2023, in … [Read more...]
OFC 2023: Samtec to Exhibit New High-Speed Interconnects
One (of many) benefits of living in a post-COVID world is a return to normal schedule. It's so much fun to see the latest block buster (Go see Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania!) in the move theater. Many people look forward to traveling (mostly) without any restrictions. It's almost like 2019 again! Another part of professional life returning to normal is the scheduling of high-tech trade shows. Earlier this month, DesignCon 2023 returned to its normally scheduled time. March 2023 sees the … [Read more...]
The Future of High-Speed Interconnections
How fast is too fast? In the world of high-performance computing, data centers, artificial intelligence and related topics, the answer is always the same. How fast can we go? Theoretically, I guess the fastest is the speed of light. In reality, data can travel at about 112 Gbps PAM4 right now with 224 Gbps data rates coming. This topic was all the rage at DesignCon 2023 last week in Santa Clara, CA. A quick search of the technical papers submitted shows at least six technical sessions … [Read more...]
