Helping design and engineering professionals discover, evaluate and specify technologies and processes that shorten the design cycle and enable success.
Cut Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) Hallucinations by 50%
Most teams hit the same wall with enterprise AI: LLMs that hallucinate, pipelines that don’t scale, and infrastructure that’s harder to design than the models themselves.

Learn how intelligent Bill of Materials (BOM) management helps teams collaborate, reduce errors, and bring innovative products to market faster with cloud-based PLM tools.
Need $500 to pay the rent (or your bookie) or just want your name to be remembered by hardware geeks everywhere? Then the A. James Clark School of Engineering (College Park, MD), part of the University of Maryland, has a contest for you.
The school recently invented a desktop supercomputer (NVIDIA has a similar plan that we covered here,
but wasn’t creative enough to think of a great name. That’s where you come in. Click here to submit your name by Sept 15.Now let’s talk about the computer itself. Where NVIDIA proposes a desktop supercomputer using one or more of its Telsa graphics processors (which themselves contain some 128 parallel processors), the Clark machine stitches together 64 parallel processors, which are carefully coaxed into working together as if it were a single chip.
And the Clark team clearly aims this at desktop-style applications.
The system, like NVIDIA, is designed to work alongside the personal computer and its OS. In fact, Clark researchers claim the system will even speed the operation of Macintosh computers, as well as Linux and Windows.
