A new technical paper, “Characterizing CPU-Induced Slowdowns in Multi-GPU LLM Inference,” was published by the Georgia Institute of Technology. Abstract “Large-scale machine learning workloads increasingly rely on multi-GPU systems, yet their performance is often limited by an overlooked component: the CPU. Through a detailed study of modern large language model...
At the shows, Nordic debuted new cellular platforms, entry-level Bluetooth LE SoCs, and an edge-AI-enabled wireless chip.
In a landmark case, a jury found this week that Meta and YouTube negligently designed their platforms and harmed the plaintiff, a 20-year-old woman referred to as Kaley G.M. The jury agreed with the plaintiff that social media is addictive and harmful and was deliberately designed to be that way....
In today’s technological landscape, the only constant is the rate of obsolescence. As engineers move deeper into the eras of 6G, ubiquitous artificial intelligence, and hyper-miniaturized electronics, a traditional degree is only a starting point.To remain competitive in today’s job market, technical specialists must evolve into future-ready professionals by cultivating...
Why copper grain size matters for hybrid bonding and how to control it for HBM and chiplets. Read the article here. Abstract Hybrid bonding is reshaping advanced packaging by enabling ultra-fine pitch copper-to-copper interconnects, essential for high-bandwidth memory (HBM), chiplet integration, and 3D heterogeneous systems. While alignment precision, oxide control,...

We’re all familiar with mixing red, yellow, and blue paint in various ratios to instantly make all kinds of colors. This works great for oils or watercolors, but fails when it comes to cans of spray paint. The paint droplets can’t be blended once they are aerosolized. Consequently, although spray...
Nearly five decades after Intersil released the ICL7106 and ICL7107 in 1978, the chips at the heart of the world's cheapest digital meters are still in production.
