Tool designed to validate the network performance of AI workloads and system infrastructure by adjusting and optimising parameters.

All the large language model (LLM) publishers and suppliers are focusing on the advent of artificial intelligence (AI) agents and agentic AI. These terms are confusing. All the more so as the ...

“RISC architecture is gonna change everything.” Those absurdly geeky, incredibly prophetic words were spoken 30 years ago. Today, they’re somehow truer than ever.

An Instruction Set Architecture (ISA) defines the software interface through which for example a central processor unit (CPU) is controlled. Unlike early computer systems which didn’t define a ...

Part 1: Computer Architecture Fundamentals (instruction sets, caching, pipelines, hyperthreading) Part 2: CPU Design Process (schematics, transistors, logic gates, clocking) ...

Previous works have shown that the ISA has some intrinsic capability of detecting errors. For example, errors that change a valid instruction into an invalid instruction encoding or into an ...

Thus, they require one bit to differentiate between jump-and-link and plain jump. RISC-V chooses to avoid baking the ABI into the ISA but, as a result, requires 16 times as much encoding space for ...

We always hear that future computers will use optical technology. But what will that look like for a general-purpose computer? German researchers explain it in a recent scientific paper. Although t… ...
