On the post-quantum side, Cryptolib now includes hardware-accelerated implementations of three families of NIST-standardized PQC algorithms: ML-KEM, ML-DSA, and SLH-DSA. The SLH-DSA (SPHINCS+) ...
Every major computing era has been defined not by technology, but by a dominant workload—and by how well processor architectures adapted to it. The personal computer era rewarded general-purpose ...
Everybody talks about China's push for domestic silicon, but few mention the fact that Europe has been pursuing its own strategy for years, too. Now, the Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC-CNS), ...
Bao Yungang, vice director of the Chinese Academy of Sciences' Institute of Computing Technology and chief scientist at the Beijing Open Source Chip Academy, predicts RISC-V will become the world's ...
As AI drives demand for advanced computing infrastructure, chip architectures are at a crossroads. While proprietary instruction set architectures (ISAs) like x86 and Arm dominate the market, their ...
When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. The number of ISA millionaires has soared to a record high of 5,070, according to official data.
Discussions about CPUs often frame one instruction set architecture (ISA) against another—x86 vs. Arm, Arm vs. RISC-V, and so on. However, it’s common to use multiple CPU architectures in a single ...
Once a hyperscaler or a cloud builder gets big enough, it can afford to design custom compute engines that more precisely match its needs. It is not clear that the companies that make custom CPUs and ...
Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. Dave Altavilla is a Tech Analyst covering chips, compute and AI. For decades, chip architectures have been dominated by a pair of ...
Old-timers might recall the idea of "RISC" as a once-upon-a-time processor design ideology. RISC processors were mostly used for servers from Sun Microsystems, DEC, and other companies of a bygone era ...
Boundless, the decentralized zero-knowledge (ZK) compute marketplace powered by RISC Zero, has launched its incentivized testnet (which it is calling “Mainnet Beta”) on Base, Coinbase’s Ethereum layer ...
The industry is increasingly talking about benefits brought by the RISC-V architecture, but is it even the right starting point? While it may not be perfect, it may provide the flexibility necessary ...
