Synopsys on Wednesdayannouncedthe availability of its silicon-provenUltra EthernetIP solution for next-generation AI clusters with up to one million nodes, plus aUALinkIP solution for linking massive pods with up to 1,024 accelerators. The IPs can be used to develop next-generation Ultra Ethernet network controllers, network interface cards, switches, UALink fabrics, and other connectivity solutions. Synopsys Ultra Ethernet IPstack includes MAC and PCS controller, the silicon-proven Synopsys 224G PHY, and verification IP compliant with the UEC specification and adhering to the latest IEEE 802....

When you are on an online conference app like Microsoft Teams, video sharing is a must. And we know how frustrating it can be when you have to give a presentation but can’t share your screen. Although there are many reasons why screen sharing can fail, this happens quite a lot due to the internet connection. When the attendee who is trying to screen share has a poor internet connection, Microsoft Teams lags....

Samsung Foundry is set to detail its third generation process technology featuring gate-all-around (GAA) transistors at the VLSI Symposium 2024 in June. The technology is called SF2, and it will be the company’s initial 2nm-class fabrication process. The node is projected to offer significant improvements when it comes to performance and efficiency.Samsung will outline key details about its SF2 fabrication technology at asessionon July 08, 2025. Based on the company’s own description, the upcoming node will further refine Samsung’s multi-bridge channel field-effect transistor architecture with a unique epitaxial and integration process....

Taiwanese authorities have let TSMC to proceed with construction of its Advanced Backend Fab 7 phase 1after an archeological discovery was made earlier this summer, which led to a suspension of construction. After resolving issues related to site excavation and environmental impact assessment (EIA), the archaeological excavation, the authorities permitted TSMC to proceed with building both AP7 phase 1 and AP7 phase 2, reportsUnited Daily News. But there are questions about how TSMC will move forward....

TSMC has successfully achieved production yields at its Fab 21 Arizona facility similar to those at its fabs in Taiwan, reportsBloomberg. This signals that the company’s major U.S. project is on course, despite earlier issues and delays. The fab, initially set to start full production in 2024, was pushed to 2025 due to a shortage of skilled labor, yet it looks like there will be no more setbacks for the chip production facility....

Last week, the Department of Energy (DOE) issued a request for proposals (RFP) to develop a new supercomputer named Discovery. This supercomputer will replace the current known fastest supercomputer in the world, Frontier, at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Discovery aims to surpass Frontier’s performance, offering three to five times more computational throughput (e.g., 8.5 ExaFLOPS) by 2027 or early 2028. ORNL mentions advanced AI, machine learning, improved energy efficiency, and comprehensive system modeling among the workloads that will run on the Discovery supercomputer....

In a rather unexpected turn of events, Western Digital (WD) has teased the industry’s first 2Tb 3D QLC NAND device at an investor conference ahead of its official announcement. The new flash memory could potentially reshape the high-capacity solid-state drives market, enabling much faster and larger SSDs that consume less power. The device uses the proven218-layer BiCS8 production nodeand is so tiny it can fit on a fingertip. WD also shared plenty of comparative performance data, touting power, density, and I/O performance gains over competing flash....

Most of us rely on a ringtone for incoming calls and alerts. However, many users using iOS 15 or higher have experienced ring issues despite setting the full volume. However, it is possible that you have unheard the ringtone because it is set to a low volume by default. Or the phone volume automatically goes down due to software glitches. Nevertheless, you can fix such issue by simply rebooting the device or cleaning the iPhone’s Speaker....

Are you experiencing frequent lags or app crashes on your mobile devices? Well, we know exactly how frustrating it can be, especially if you’re trying to send an important email through your phone or while you’re in-game. Factors like multiplerunning background applications,low internal storage space, corrupted caches files,and more might cause this error to prop up. So, in this comprehensive guide, let’s explore more of the potential causes and effective solutions to fix lagging issues on your mobile devices....

Windows operating system comes with its native screenshot tool, popularly known as the Snipping tool. To launch this application in one go, users can use theWindows + Shift + Shotkey. If your screenshot hotkeys fail to respond, it indicates an underlying issue with the snipping tool application. It is possible that there is corruption in the program files or issues with the background processes. Some users have also experienced this problem after installing a Windows update....

Skatterbencher and three industry-leading partners have completed a feasibility study to see if it’s possible to build a liquid nitrogen (LN2) container using generative AI and additive manufacturing techniques, also known as 3D printing. Ina blog postand YouTube video, the partners show that it’s possible, but perhaps not financially wise, for the benefits obtained. Pieter of Skatterbencher is an expert in overclocking and teamed up with three industry-leading companies to explore the possibilities of AI and 3D printing for LN2 cooling....

On Saturday, researchers led by Peter Kazansky of the University of Southampton in the UKrevealedthat they successfully laser-inscribed the entirety of the human genome onto a “5D” memory crystal with the help of Helixworks Technologies. This move is the culmination of decades of research on laser-inscribing on transparent storage mediums stemming as far back as 1996, which now gives us “5D” memory crystals that can record up to 360 terabytes of data on a 5-inch square and, due to the high durability of the material, should last basically forever without any bit rot....

OpenJDK Platform binary or Java(TM) Platform SE binary orjavaw.exeis the Java environment that is required for games like Minecraft and some other apps. So, whenever you run such games or applications, this process also launches alongside. This process can show high CPU usage if the root application runs this process continuously. It can happen because of the limitation of the app or your system. Also, bugs within the apps can cause the process to use more CPU than necessary....
