TSMC is introducing its N4X process technology, tailored for the demanding workloads of high-performance computing (HPC) products. N4X is the first of TSMC’s HPC-focused technology offerings, representing ultimate performance and maximum clock frequencies in the five-nanometer family. The “X” designation is reserved for TSMC technologies that are developed specifically for HPC products. Leveraging its experience…
Samsung offers in-memory processing power to a wider range of applications
Samsung Electronics, a provider in advanced memory technology, recently showcased its latest advancements with processing-in-memory (PIM) technology at Hot Chips 33 — a semiconductor conference where the most notable microprocessor and IC innovations are unveiled each year. Samsung’s revelations include the first successful integration of its PIM-enabled high-bandwidth memory (HBM-PIM) into a commercialized accelerator system.…
Serial Communication using ‘Processing’ – Open Source Language
Processing is a Java based open source programming language and IDE (Integrated development environment) used for writing and running programs on a computer. The main advantage of Processing is that it allows people with less or no knowledge on programming also to learn programming easily and become experts. Processing accomplishes this by providing numerous examples and tutorials pre-loaded in the software itself. What we will use Processing is for letting our development board (Arduino/ ATmega8 Dev. Board/ ATmega16 dev. board) to communicate with the PC/ Laptop running Processing. Well basically it starts a serial communication with the device connected at the COM port mentioned by us. Then it continuously sends the character “H” (if the mouse pointer is on the rectangle) or “L” (if the mouse pointer is moved away from the rectangle) to the device. The software and hardware requirements of this project are: PC/ Laptop running Windows 7/XP, Java Development Kit 7, Processing 2.0 or above.
