Compiler uses C code to write once and accelerate CPUs

Support for multi-threading acceleration for CPUs with multiple physical cores is provided by the CacheQ Compiler which takes a single-threaded C code and generates executable that can run on CPUs, accelerating executing by 486% on x86 processors with 12 cores, reports CacheQ Systems (based on benchmarks from the Black Scholes financial algorithm). There is no need ...

Rohm plans 8V gates for 150V GaN power transistors

Rohm is claiming a first for an 8V-tolerant gate on a 150V GaN power transistor. One of the weaknesses of GaN HEMTs is the low voltage rating of their gates – generally ~6V – leaving them vulnerable to damage from transients, particularly as they need a drive of around 5V to operate. “Rohm succeeded in ...
