We normally think of atomic clocks as the gold standard in timekeeping. The very definition of a second — in modern times, at least — is 9,192,631,770 periods of the radiation corresponding to the ...

Atomic clocks and frequency standards represent the pinnacle of precision timekeeping technology. By harnessing the natural oscillatory behaviour of atoms, these devices deliver unparalleled accuracy ...

When it comes to CPUs, the performance metrics justifiably take the center stage, but too often, it's the flashiest ones that ...

Different computer components run at different frequencies. For this reason they require a base frequency to synchronize their operations. The motherboard provides this in the form of an external ...

As technology advance, we see complex SoCs emerging in the market with multiple interfaces. These complex SoCs can have multiple clocks driving multiple modules, which may be getting divided further ...

As technologies advance, we see increasingly complex SoCs in the market, SoCs that have various wireless modules, and processors that use new bus architectures to communicate with them. They can also ...

The PCIe (peripheral-component-interconnect express) protocol is highly desirable for communication across backplanes in embedded and other system types. However, for an embedded-system environment in ...

For gamers, speed is of the essence. Even slight jumps in FPS performance can bring them, if nothing else, bragging rights about how awesome their PC build is. However, when it comes to RAM ...

I used to be able to hear 3kHz easily but as my hair cells fade into the sunset that frequency now seems to be down 3 or 6 dB. As a consequence the high pitched "beep beep" sound on my portable alarm ...
