How Ultra Ethernet And UALink Enable High-Performance, Scalable AI Networks
This article delves into the technical aspects of how scaling up and out is becoming a critical need for HPC and AI chip developers, and how new standards such as Ultra Ethernet and Ultra Accelerator Link (UALink) aim to tackle the challenges of high-bandwidth, low-latency connectivity and efficient resource management.
Maximizing Performance & Reliability for Flash Applications with Synopsys xSPI Solution
Systems using SoCs designed in advanced processes generally rely on external Flash devices that use NOR/NAND Flash memory technology for non-volatile storage. NOR Flash memory offers many benefits for device manufacturers and consumers, such as faster reading, low power consumption, and smaller area. In contrast, NAND Flash memories are ideal for applications such as data storage, where higher memory capacity and faster write and erase operations are required.
