4+ day, 9+ hour ago   (1695+ words) Kilowatt-class AI accelerators are forcing engineers to rethink what counts as adequate coverage across workload, thermal behavior, test hardware, and time. On a spec sheet, 1kW of maximum power looks like a single operating condition. In practice, two workloads can hold…...

4+ day, 8+ hour ago   (590+ words) Through better manufacturing screening, DFT for systems and fleet monitors, this major scourge on data center hardware is gradually being tamed. SDEs are becoming an increasing problem partly because SDE faults are much more likely to happen at advanced process…...

6+ day, 9+ hour ago   (130+ words) Just because a chip is deemed good doesn't mean it will work as expected. The post Smart Outlier Detection appeared first on Semiconductor Engineering. Nearly all leading-edge designs today are multi-die assemblies, which means that one defective die can render…...

1+ week, 4+ day ago   (612+ words) Security and safety are inseparable in physical systems. By Dana Neustadter and Ilya Tolchinsky Artificial intelligence is moving beyond digital experiences and into systems that interact directly with the physical world. This emerging category of physical AI spans autonomous vehicles…...

1+ week, 4+ day ago   (632+ words) Security controls are increasingly implemented in ways that can limit access to information required for an investigation. Digital forensic investigations often depend on access to information stored on or processed by electronic devices. Depending on the case and the type…...
