| 11:00a | AnandTech at Hot Chips 30: Our 2018 Show Coverage The last couple of days have been a whirlwind of coverage at two key events: Hot Chips, the semiconductor industry conference regarding new product designs, and some minor thing at Gamescom. At Hot Chips, we ran eighteen different Live Blogs, and have written up several of the talks into more detailed analysis pieces. Because we’ve got plenty of content about the show, I just wanted to run a small piece where our readers can access without searching for it. |
| 11:40a | Hot Chips 2018: Going Deep on NVSwitch Live Blog (8:45am PT, 3:45pm UTC)
The first talk on Day 2 of Hot Chips is from NVIDIA, going into more detail about how the NVSwitch works with a lot more detail than from previous talks. Also its implementation within DGX-2 is explored. |
| 12:40p | Hot Chips 2018: Xilinx 7nm ACAP Live Blog
We've covered the initial announcement of Xilinx's Project Everest before, which will be coming to market as an 'ACAP' built on 7nm. Xilinx believes that the ACAP is the future of FPGA computing. The talk is set to start at 9:45am PT / 4:45pm UTC. |
| 1:40p | Hot Chips 2018: Nanotubes as DRAM from Nantero, a Live Blog
Lots of different types of 'RAM' have been in the news, most noticably Intel's Optane memory and a couple of weeks ago at Flash Memory Summit we had the 'MRAM' Developer Day. At Hot Chips, Nantero is presentation about its new 'NRAM' technology, which uses carbon nanotubes. The talk is set to start at 10:45am PT. |
| 4:55p | Hot Chips 2018: Arm's Machine Learning Core Live Blog
Arm officially announced Project Trillium earlier this year, as a way to bring machine learning to the Arm ecosystem. As part of the trade show today, we have a presentation where Arm is going to talk about its first machine learning core. The talk is set to start at 2pm PT / 9pm UTC. |
| 5:30p | Hands-on with the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti: Real-time Raytracing in Games After yesterday’s announcement from NVIDIA, we finally know what’s coming: the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti, GeForce RTX 2080, and GeForce RTX 2070. So naturally, after the keynote in the Palladium venue, NVIDIA provided hands-on demos and gameplay as the main event of their public GeForce Gaming Celebration. The demos in question were all powered by the $1200 GeForce RTX 2080 Ti Founders Edition, and we eagerly took the opportunity to play some real-time raytraced Battlefield V and Shadow of the Tomb Raider. |
| 5:55p | Hot Chips 2018: Tachyum Prodigy CPU Live Blog
One of the more interesting talks is from Tachyum, who have a deep presentation about their new hyperscale Prodigy processors with up to 64 cores and eight channel memory. Tachyum is headed up by one of the original co-Founders of SandForce and Wave Computing. The talk is set to start at 3pm PT / 10pm UTC. |
| 6:55p | Hot Chips 2018: Xilinx DNN Processors Live Blog
Xilinx has several talks this year at Hot Chips, and aside from the ACAP earlier in the day, the talk about their Deep Neural Network processor also looks interesting. The talk is set to start at 4pm PT / 11pm UTC. |
| 7:55p | Hot Chips 2018: IBM Power9 Scale Up CPU Live Blog The biggest part of the show are the server talks in the last session of the last day. All four talks are worth covering, and the first talk is from IBM, detailing both its newest Power9 'Scale Up' version of its processor family, as well as an introduction to PowerAXON, its new connectivity IP. The talk is set to start at 5pm PT / midnight UTC. |
| 8:25p | Hot Chips 2018: Fujitsu's A64FX Arm Core Live Blog Remember back when Arm announced Scalable Vector Extensions? Well Fujitsu has made an Arm CPU that uses it with a 512-bit width. The presentation looks super interesting, so follow along with our live blog. The talk is set to start at 5:30pm PT / 12:30am UTC. |
| 8:55p | Hot Chips 2018: NEC Vector Processor Live Blog
We saw this at Supercomputing last year: NEC's new Vector PCIe co-processor. I've wanted to write about it for a while, so I'm glad it's being presented here at Hot Chips. The talk is set to start at 6pm PT / 1am UTC. |
