Earlier in July, Meta, the parent company of Facebook, announced the availability of Llama 2, which will be made available in the Microsoft Azure AI model catalogue, as well as AWS. Meta describes Llama 2 as “the next generation” of its open source large language model. But while it is free for research and commercial…
Designing chips for modern, leading-edge manufacturing technologies is an expensive endeavor. Still, dozens of companies have already adopted TSMCs N3 and N3E (3 nm-class) fabrication processes, according to disclosures made by TSMC and Synopsys. “Synopsys IP for TSMC’s 3nm process has been adopted by dozens of leading companies to accelerate their development time, quickly achieve silicon…

It has been a couple of decades since a Japanese fab has offered a leading-edge chip manufacturing process. Even to this day, none of the Japanese chipmakers have made it as far as adopting FinFETs, something that U.S. and Taiwanese companies adopted in early-to-mid-2010s. But Rapidus, a semiconductor consortium backed by the Japanese government and…

Having reviewed and dissected almost a dozen ATX 3.0 power supplies in the last year, thus far we’ve seen an interesting mix in design pedigrees for PSUs targeting the newest power standard. For some manufacturers this has meant bringing up entirely new PSU designs by OEMs new and old, developing fresh platforms to accommodate the…
The Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) unveiled its latest Stampede supercomputer for open science research projects, Stampede3. TACC anticipates that Stampede3 will come online this fall and will deliver its full performance in early 2024. The supercomputer will be a crucial component of the U.S. National Science Foundation’s (NSF) ACCESS scientific supercomputing ecosystem, and it…
