AMD and Intel have now published a full technical specification for ACE — AI Compute Extensions — the most significant overhaul to x86 AI compute in the architecture's history, co-authored by eight ...

Matrix multiplication runs the modern world. For every word that ChatGPT writes, I estimate that ~10,000,000,000 (10 billion) small matrices must be multiplied. Modern gaming engines routinely draw 10 ...

AlphaEvolve uses large language models to find new algorithms that outperform the best human-made solutions for data center management, chip design, and more. Google DeepMind has once again used large ...

SPADs are p-n junctions operated above their avalanche breakdown voltage, in so-called Geiger mode; they are commonly used in optical detection owing to their low noise, high sensitivity, and high ...

Computer scientists are a demanding bunch. For them, it’s not enough to get the right answer to a problem — the goal, almost always, is to get the answer as efficiently as possible. Take the act of ...

In my previous article From Baby to Teenage Kyber I've explained how Kyber encryption/decryption works. As it was stated there, the essence of the algorithm is multiplication of polynomials in the ...

Before we move into the meat of this article, let’s define a couple terms related to cryptography. The syllable crypt may make you think of tombs, but it comes from a Greek word that means “hidden” or ...

Hardware architectures composed of resistive cross-point device arrays can provide significant power and speed benefits for deep neural network training workloads using stochastic gradient descent ...

This summer, battle lines were drawn over a simple math problem: 8 ÷ 2(2 + 2) = ? If you divide 8 by 2 first, you get 16, but if you multiply 2 by (2 + 2) first, you get 1. So, which answer is right?
