How would we handle metastability in our 4-bit computer if we were to implement it as a microcontroller chip, a single-board computer, or a cabinet-based system? Now, after laying all of this ...

A new technical paper titled “Achieving software-equivalent accuracy for hyperdimensional computing with ferroelectric-based in-memory computing” by researchers at University of Notre Dame, Fraunhofer ...

In context: The first iteration of high-bandwidth memory (HBM) was somewhat limited, only allowing speeds of up to 128 GB/s per stack. However, there was one major caveat: graphics cards that used ...

The registers inside the CPU, the machine code instruction set, and the ways in which the instructions interact with the registers and status flags are all intertwined. As you may recall, one of my ...

With transistors and logic gates as our basic building blocks, we can begin to construct the actual circuits that make up computer memory. One of the simplest memory circuits is the AND gate, which ...

The total memory (RAM) that can be added to a computer depends on the size of the address registers built into the CPU. For example, most 32-bit CPUs have a 32-bit address register that can access 4GB ...

Getting into a big electronics project often involves the use of specialized tools, namely the use of some sort of soldering iron or other way to apply solder to often intricate, tiny, and ...

Remember the GeForce GTX 280? The "GT200" GPU was a gigantic beast that maxed out the limits of the "Tesla" design it was based on. It boasted 32 ROPs and something almost unseen in graphics cards ...

We're just a week away from a possible reveal of Nvidia's next-gen architecture, code-named Blackwell. The company is expected to reveal the first details about its follow-up to Ada Lovelace at next ...

The current generation of Nvidia graphics cards, the Ada Lovelace (RTX 40-series), are quite interesting in the way the tech media has received it. On one hand, while the higher-end models like the ...
