Automata Memory Processor Points to Future Systems
For someone like Steve Pawlowski, who spent well over thirty years at Intel working on a wide range of processors for an even more striking array of platforms, it seems only natural to take a cautious view of entirely new approaches to data processing that require a fundamental rethink of computing hardware and software. …

A Wake Up Call for Hybrid Memory Cube Efficiency
There has been quite a bit of talk over the last couple of years about what role high bandwidth memory technologies like the Intel and Micron-backed Hybrid Memory Cube (HMC) might play in the future of both high performance computing nodes as well as in other devices, but the momentum is still somewhat slow, at least in terms of actual systems that are implementing HMC or its rival high bandwidth memory counterpart, High Bandwidth Memory (backed by a different consortium of vendors, including Nvidia and AMD). …
