Cooling down hotspots – 3D-ICE
3D chips are a great idea – processors placed one on top of the other, for a superfast transmission of data. The trouble is that chips heat up, and if you pile them up they heat up even faster. 3D-ICE is a powerful thermal emulator for three-dimensional computing. Version 3.1 is presented in a new (…)

HEEPocrates featured in EUROPRACTICE report
An article on the HEEPocrates chip has been published in the EUROPRACTICE Activity Report 2023. EUROPRACTICE was launched by the European Commission in 1995 as a successor of EUROCHIP (1989-1995) to enhance European industrial competitiveness in the global market. A detailed breakdown of the chip and its component processes and features is presented in the (…)
Predicting the future with CloudProphet
If we are going to reduce the carbon footprint of data centers we need to use computing resources more efficiently. If processes always made use of data center facilities in a regular way, it would be an easy game. However, the resources of a data center are used by customers (more often customers of customers) (…)
