Beyond Advanced Packaging: Lightmatter Passage Chiplets Co-Packaged On Optical Interposer

Lightmatter made a big splash a couple of years ago by presenting an AI accelerator, Mars, that rethought the paradigm of how electronics compute and move data. They presented a processor that used photonics for compute. This chip promised multiple orders of magnitude improvement in latency, bandwidth, and power. This ultimately was unsuccessful due to the rigidity of the software and compute structure involved with the chip. Lightmatter has created a 2nd generation of this AI compute produc...

Background In the previous episode about "using API and Wallbox", we have seen some interesting ways to interact with the charger. In this episode, the goal is to add some more practical examples. Indeed, if you are following my GitHub repo on this topic, I have added some functions for pausing, resuming the charging session as well as locking and unlocking the charger. Also, I can set the charging power to a certain number of Amps. Let's see this in action ! Wallbox Commander With this, i...

StorPool Storage has added NVMe/TCP access to its eponymous block storage system, file access with NFS, and ported it to AWS. This v20.0 release also adds more business continuity, management and monitoring upgrades, and extends the software’s compatibility. StorPool was started in Bulgaria in 2011 to provide a virtual SAN using the pooled disk and […]

In his latest post on The Memory Guy , contributor Ron Neale reviews a novel use for ReRAM cells in which a neural processing system mimics the direction-finding mechanism of a barn owl’s ears. This is based on research performed by CEA-Leti in France, which was recently published in the journal Nature. The potential for the use of the unique characteristics of ReRAMs, PCM and CeRAMs as brain-gates, neuromorphic devices, and in-memory computation has long been recognised. In a paper recent...

2022 NAND – Process Technology Comparison, China’s YMTC Shipping Densest NAND, Chips 4 Alliance, Long-term Financial Outlook

NAND is a market with fierce competition and a relentless march of progress. The number of bits of NAND manufactured and shipped has grown at a pace of 30% to 35% every year, doubling every 2 to 3 years. The initial take would be that this requires a large amount of capital dedicated to new equipment, but the NAND industry has only spent from $15B to $20B on wafer fabrication equipment every year from 2017 to 2022 despite exponential growth. The cost to produce NAND has fallen rapidly. Simil...

Lloyd’s to end insurance coverage for state cyber attacks

Lloyds of London has told its members to exclude nation state cyber attacks from insurance policies beginning in 2023, saying they pose unacceptable levels or risk. Hmm so where do we begin to unpack this one? Attribution is never easy, even in the best of times. So who will decide whether an attack is a nation state or just little Timmy trying to impress his friends on the Discord channel? Knowing how most other forms of insurance works, the burden of proof may lie on the victim to prove ...
