Semidynamics, an advanced computing company developing memory-centric AI infrastructure for large-scale inference, and SiPearl, the European fabless designer of high-performance energy-efficient CPUs for sovereign supercomputing, AI and data centres, have entered into a strategic partnership to develop a European rack‑scale AI compute platform dedicated to large‑scale AI inference in the cloud.

The two companies share a common goal: to offer a sovereign high‑performance energy‑efficient compute solution capable of supporting major European initiatives, both public and private, including AI Factory and Giga Factory programmes.

Semidynamics and SiPearl will coordinate their marketing and sales efforts to jointly pursue European procurement opportunities. [Read more…] about Semidynamics and SiPearl partner to develop EU-sovereign rack-scale AI compute platform

The University of Manchester has been awarded a third Milestone Award by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE).

The award honours significant technical achievement for the invention of “Manchester Code” in 1948-1949, still used today in communications to Voyager 1 and 2 probes and everyday items like RFID card readers and TV remotes.

In a ceremony celebrating the invention’s impact on data storage, computing and communications, vice-chancellor, Duncan Iverson, accepted the award on behalf of the University, the commemorative bronze plaque will be mounted on the outside of the Coupland 1 Building, Bridgeford Street.
