Modern server platforms are entering a new era of complexity. AI and machine learning (ML) workloads are demanding denser, more specialized compute configurations. Heterogeneous accelerators, from GPUs to custom ASICs, are becoming standard fixtures alongside traditional CPUs. Disaggregated and modular architectures are giving datacenter operators new flexibility in how they compose and scale infrastructure. And through all of it, hardware configurations are diversifying at a pace that puts real...

Every major shift in datacenter architecture moves certain security capabilities from nice-to-have to non-negotiable. As systems become more disaggregated, platforms more modular, and firmware delivery increasingly network-based, traditional trust assumptions no longer hold. Hardware is sourced across vendors. Devices are updated and replaced continuously. Systems are expected to evolve over long operational lifetimes rather than remain static. In this environment, trust cannot be assumed at bo...

The continued evolution of AI is reshaping the foundation of datacenter design and development. As workloads grow more complex and resource-intensive, operators face mounting challenges related to datacenter performance, reliability, and security. If workload demands can’t be consistently met, infrastructure will be unable to scale without disruption. In our latest LinkedIn Live panel discussion , Lattice experts and Bob O’Donnell from TECHnalysis Research explored the increasingly c...

Each year, the Open Compute Project (OCP) Global Summit brings together the tech industry’s most innovative thinkers to discuss the current and future state of open hardware and software solutions. This year, Lattice and our ecosystem partners had the opportunity to showcase a range of our Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA)-based solutions that help enable OCP-compliant development of datacenters, artificial intelligence (AI) solutions, and more. In case you missed the show, here’...

Servers are the backbone of modern computing infrastructure. They host sensitive data, AI models, and core workloads – making them prime targets for increasingly sophisticated cyber threats. As server architectures become more modular and disaggregated, integrating various CPUs, NICs, accelerators, SCM modules, and more, and as organizations rely more heavily on these distributed systems, the complexity of securing these systems grows exponentially. Recent attacks – such as those e...

As public cloud servers and edge computing systems proliferate throughout the datacenter landscape, the importance of security, power efficiency, and overall system performance grows. The rise of IoT and 5G connections demand immense processing capabilities and add pressure to servers like never before. And with quantum computing shaping up to come online by the end of the decade, system designers find themselves tasked with keeping up with these demands as securely and efficiently as possible. ...
