China has taken a giant step forward: it now has an alternative to NVIDIA’s CUDA for AI that allows its code to be recycled.
Huawei, which aims to capture a significant share of this market in China, has CANN (Compute Architecture for Neural Networks), its alternative to CUDA, but for now, the latter software dominates the market. And in the current situation, this is a problem for Chinese companies that want to stop using American hardware and software, as […]
We now know what Pat Gelsinger’s project is after leaving Intel: particle accelerators for making chips.
Very roughly speaking, this light source generates EUV radiation using high-power lasers capable of instantly heating tens of thousands of tiny tin droplets in a single second to temperatures of half a million degrees Celsius. This interaction produces an extremely hot plasma that emits ultraviolet light with a wavelength of 13.5 nm. It seems like
