Huawei’s new AI CloudMatrix cluster beats Nvidia’s GB200 by brute force, uses 4X the power
Unable to use leading-edge process technologies to produce its high-end processors for AI, Huawei has to rely on brute force – install more processors than its industry competitors to achieve comparable performance for AI. To do this, Huawei took a multifaceted strategy that includes a dual-chiplet HiSilicon Ascend 910C processor, optical interconnections, and the Huawei…
The transformative force of ultra-wideband (UWB) radar
UWB radar is an augmentation of current ultra-wideband (UWB) ranging techniques. To understand the technical side and potential applications of UWB radar, let’s start at the beginning with the platform it builds on. UWB is a communication protocol that uses radio waves over a wide frequency bandwidth, using multiple channels anywhere within the 3.1 to…
Jurassic World, Star Wars: The Force Awakens, and Fantastic Four all turn 10 this year, and Hollywood is mostly frozen in time and holding on to nostalgia
2015 was a pretty big year for Hollywood and pop culture as a whole, and we’re still feeling its impact a whole decade later. In fact, it was so big that most studios have struggled to move past that era of nostalgic revivals and huge franchises at the peak of their popularity. As we await…
Neural Processing Units (NPUs): The Driving Force Behind Next-Generation AI and Computing
Just as GPUs once eclipsed CPUs for AI workloads, Neural Processing Units (NPUs) are set to challenge GPUs by delivering even faster, more efficient performance—especially for generative AI, where massive real-time processing must happen at lightning speed and at lower cost. The question is how do NPUs work, and why are they edging out their…
