Suppose for a moment that you're an engineer designing a new 8051-based product. Not unexpectedly, the application's code size will greatly exceed the 64KB architectural limit of the 8051's program ...

At AMD’s Financial Analyst Day earlier this month (which was actually more interesting than it initially sounds), AMD finally confirmed that it was looking to use high-bandwidth memory (HBM) in an ...

High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) is the commonly used type of DRAM for data center GPUs like NVIDIA's H200 and AMD's MI325X. High Bandwidth Flash (HBF) is a stack of flash chips with an HBM interface. What ...

If the HPC and AI markets need anything right now, it is not more compute but rather more memory capacity at a very high bandwidth. We have plenty of compute in current GPU and FPGA accelerators, but ...
