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...]

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...]
Samtec Supports Future “Rocket Scientists”
My wife and I recently came back from a remote island. We marveled at a clear night sky so far away from light pollution. It reminded me that for millennia humans have been awestruck by planets, stars, meteors and more. Sometimes it's hard to imagine humans could only "touch" space since 1961. Today, lunar, planetary and space exploration always captures the imagination. Recently, NASA also published audio files of a dust devil from Mars. It sounds just like talking on your smart phone at … [Read more...]
electronica 2022 Review – An Interview with Samtec’s Doug Wathen
As the COVID-19 pandemic (mostly) fades in to the past, individuals are slowly (or quickly) returning to their pre-pandemic lifestyles. Tourists are returning to airports, cruise ships and hotels. Weddings are on the increase. Movies are getting released with some regularity. In the professional world, trade shows are on the rebound. In the high-tech industry, just about every major trade show was scheduled this year. Additionally, trade show attendance is on the rebound. Old friends are … [Read more...]

The Samtec Blog Celebrates Its 1000th Posting!
"A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...." Consider this the only Easter egg of this blog. However, don't tech bloggers love Star Wars, MCU or DCEU references? Where's Black Adam? Oops, that's two Easter eggs. In any case, it just seems right to continue with the Easter eggs in this, the official 1000th Samtec blog. Wow, 1,000 blogs. I don't think we as a team ever expected to see that number. As I write this, I am celebrating seven wonderful years at Samtec. I joined … [Read more...]
From Elon Musk to ISS – LEO Satellites Fly Over our Heads
Elon Musk is in the news again. But when is Elon Musk not in the news? Of course, many people have an opinion about his purchase of Twitter. More importantly, Mr. Musk is revolutionizing internet access and soon future mobile phone access with LEO satellites. Starlink is a constellation of satellites providing internet access (and eventually mobile phone service) to ~40 countries. Starlink has been in the news for its reach into Ukraine and potentially even Iran. Via SpaceX, currently … [Read more...]
