Ahh . . . September. It reminds us of the the last bits of summer, kids going back to school and football. Of course, at Samtec we love global football and the North American kind well. In case someone asks, I am a HUGE fan of the Pittsburgh Steelers. In the high-tech world, trade show season is ramping up. Samtec will be exhibiting at two major shows this month. One is the AI Hardware & Edge AI Summit in Santa Clara, CA. The second tradeshow is the European Microwave Week (EuMW) in … [Read more...]
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 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...]
