With cloud computing, HPC, and now AI driving enterprise computing and the technical challenges and cost connected to semiconductor design and manufacturing increasing, demand for chiplet architectures continues to increase. …
Generative AI is arguably the most complex application that humankind has ever created, and the math behind it is incredibly complex even if the results are simple enough to understand. …
AI agents bring with them the promise of being able to autonomously solve complex tasks put before them, from finding and analyzing the necessary data, choosing tools, and making decisions without human intervention to learning from their mistakes and adapting to changes. …
InfiniBand was always supposed to be a mainstream fabric to be used across PCs, servers, storage, and networks, but the effort collapsed and the remains of the InfiniBand effort found a second life at the turn of the millennium as a high performance, low latency interconnect for supercomputers running simulations and models. …
Perhaps the most interesting conversation that has happened so far in the White House in 2025, at least from the point of view of the IT sector, is when Nvidia co-founder and chief executive officer, Jensen Huang, put on his Sunday best suit and visited President Donald Trump to presumably talk about technology, AI, trade, and war on July 10. …
With AI being the biggest change in IT infrastructure since the Dot Com boom, it was no surprise that at the annual Cisco Live event last month in San Diego, the focus was on AI – and particularly agentic AI – and how the networking giant differentiates itself from other infrastructure vendors when it comes to the emerging technology. …
It has taken the better part of a year and a half and some wrangling with the US Department of Justice to get it done, but Hewlett Packard Enterprise has finally completed its $14 billion acquisition of Juniper Networks. …
There is not one Ethernet business, but several, and now, with the evolution of Ethernet switches for back-end AI cluster networks, there is a new one that has the possibility to dominate revenues and profits. …
PCI-SIG, the organization that oversees the roadmap for the critical PCI-Express peripheral attachment specification, is continuing to keep to its three-year drumbeat for releasing the next iteration of the interconnect spec and already has its sights on the one after that, expected to be released in 2028 and appear in devices in 2030 or so. …
Much of the business that Cisco Systems and others have been doing in the AI infrastructure field since OpenAI lit the generative AI fuse with ChatGPT in November 2022 has been deploying hardware and software with the hyperscalers, a lucrative business that led company executives to promise to sell as much as $1 billion in back-end network technology by the end of its fiscal year and then to blow past that a quarter early. …
