Popular topics at SC23 included Exascale and quantum computing, AI and machine learning, and cybersecurity, among others. CXL is one of those hot topics. Largely used by designers of data center servers, supercomputers, and enterprise computing systems for applications like AI and machine learning, CXL enables cache coherency between CPUs and external devices. CXL 3.0 leverages…
A live product demonstration of CXL over fiber garnered a lot of attention at SC23. Other popular demos included a 224 Gbps PAM4 solution, and a proof-of-concept 128 GT/s (PCIe® 7.0) high-speed cable system. CXL is based on the PCI Express specification physical and electrical interface. CXL enables cache coherency between the CPU and attached devices,…
The upcoming PCIe® 7.0 specification is intended to enable 128 GT/s data rates. It continues PCIe’s trend of double speeds every generation. According to PCI-SIG, “PCIe 7.0 technology is targeted to be a scalable interconnect solution for data-intensive markets like Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning, Data Center, HPC, Automotive, IoT, and Military/Aerospace.”(1) PCIe 7.0 is targeted for…
Emerging system requirements are driven by industry advancements in areas such as data centers, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and quantum computing, among others. Samtec 224 Gbps PAM4 interconnect systems are carefully designed to satisfy these high-performance requirements, as you’ll see in the video. Ralph Page, Systems Architect at Samtec, gives an overview of what is possibly…
PCIe 6.0, optics, 112 Gbps PAM4, linear direct drives, PCIe over fiber. Samtec displayed a variety of live product demonstrations – both optical and copper – at OFC 2023. Two demos, both in tandem with our partner Cadence, received much attention. Both demonstrated cutting-edge data rates, one at 112 Gbps PAM4, and the other is 64…
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…
UAVs, or drones, have been around for decades. Original drones resembled early generation fighter jets controlled from the ground and used as targets for test pilots. As time passed, drones served as high-tech reconnaissance platforms and high-precision offensive weapons in military applications In recent years, drones have found many commercial uses as well. Popular e-commerce…
