Stephen A. Vicinanza | Embedded Science The environmental discussion around AI often begins with the construction of more computing capacity. MIT’s recent profile of Christina Delimitrou points to another engineering question: how effectively are data centers using the systems already…
Stephen A. Vicinanza | Embedded Science An AI workload does not become economical simply because it runs on the newest accelerator. Intel’s OCP 2026 agenda puts the placement of work across different computing resources at the center of its infrastructure…
Stephen A. Vicinanza | Embedded Science An AI server power architecture needs a defined response when equipment is connected, disconnected or develops a fault. Infineon’s new XDP8HD40S-1 brings digital control and event information to that protection problem. Infineon introduced the…
Stephen A. Vicinanza | Embedded Science The computing capacity of an AI installation is only useful when the surrounding system can move information reliably. TI’s LMK6B announcement highlights a less visible part of that infrastructure: the timing source. TI presents…
Stephen A. Vicinanza | Embedded Science Moving AI infrastructure toward higher-voltage distribution changes the questions engineers must ask about connection, interruption and fault containment. TI’s LMI800PS announcement puts an integrated isolated hot-swap controller at the center of that discussion. TI…
Stephen A. Vicinanza | Embedded Science An AI server can fail because of an electrical event that never appears in its average operating measurements. Texas Instruments’ October 12 announcement of the ADC34DSO75 directs attention toward those brief disturbances and the…
Investing? Rad-Hard GPU Development & Space Computing News The commercial space paradigm is undergoing a massive architectural shift. Spacecraft are transitioning from simple “data-collect and downlink” platforms to autonomous orbital data centers. Historically, space-bound processors were limited to slow, heavily…
In the last analysis, it was apparent that fusion power is a long way from becoming available to run buildings. Not so says TMPG, the parent company for Truth Social, which is now merging with fusion developer TAE Technologies, in…
