May. Click the blue text to follow us 2025.05 In May 2010, Andrew Waterman, a student at the University of California, Berkeley, sent an email to his professors. After experimenting with various teaching methods for a three-month project, he concluded: They should revive the dying microprocessor architecture DEC Alpha. “I don’t see what new things … Read more
Introduction In High-Performance Computing (HPC), template metaprogramming or macros are often seen, where functions are called through template parameters or macro parameters. The most notable examples are CUTLASS (which uses templates almost exclusively) and OpenBLAS (which uses macros in many places). In fact, both macros and templates are metaprogramming techniques that occur before the actual … Read more
On April 14 local time, AMD announced that its next-generation Zen 6 EPYC processor “Venice” has officially completed tape-out, becoming the industry’s first high-performance computing (HPC) processor to utilize TSMC’s 2nm (N2) process technology. AMD stated that this marks a significant breakthrough in the collaboration between AMD and TSMC on advanced process technology, demonstrating both … Read more
AMD announced late Monday that it has achieved its first 2nm chip, which is the core complex die of its 6th generation EPYC “Venice” processor (core complex die (CPU)), and this processor is expected to launch next year. The “Venice” core complex die is the industry’s first high-performance computing (HPC) central processing unit design that … Read more

After 18 months of rampant semiconductor price increases, the market is beginning to “cool down.” The recent order cuts by smartphone manufacturers such as Xiaomi, OPPO, and vivo indicate this trend, and it is reported that Samsung may also reduce its smartphone production by 30 million units to 280 million units this year. Recently, laptop … Read more
When you feel challenged, think of Intel! On April 14, 2025, at TSMC’s headquarters in Hsinchu, AMD CEO Dr. Lisa Su and TSMC Chairman Dr. C.C. Wei held a wafer the size of a fingernail, announcing a groundbreaking news in the industry—the world’s first 2nm high-performance computing chip, Zen6 EPYC Venice, has completed its tape-out. … Read more
The report from Electronic Enthusiasts Network (by Zhou Kaiyang) states that in recent years, RISC-V has become one of the most significant ISAs in the industry, with over ten billion cores shipped. However, most of these cores are used in low-power IoT applications. As high-performance computing (HPC) has entered the Exascale era, whether RISC-V, as … Read more
