Lip-Bu Tan steps into the Intel CEO role. Can he save the company?

by Steven Leibson

The question in my headline is a bit of a tease. Intel doesn’t need saving, per se, but its reputation sure needs a makeover, and the company’s new CEO – Lip-Bu Tan – certainly has the chops and smarts to rebuild the financial community’s and the electronics industry’s trust in the once (and future?) semiconductor leader. Many pundits have opined already about Intel’s new CEO, so why trust my opinion? I’ve got experience working for a company run by Tan during his years as Cadence’s CEO, so I don’t need to guess. My closest work friend at Cadence was David Thon, who worked directly with CEO Tan and often told me

Speeding AI and HPC Workloads with Composable Memory and Hardware Compression / Decompression Acceleration
Great observation, compression/ decompression can certainly reduce overall latency and memory access times by increasing hit rates in the cache! Could you expand on your other question about similar content?

Speeding AI and HPC Workloads with Composable Memory and Hardware Compression / Decompression Acceleration
Localised compression/decompression can/could increase memory access speed too. ... Now wondering if cache memory can store eg ranges where the contents are similar, eg 000200..+1ff, all storing c001?? Split the range with a value, and it changes to two ranges and a value, or some other compression method. It ...
