HPC & Data Computing

High Performance Computing (HPC) and data-centric systems are powering today's most critical innovations—from AI training and weather simulation to genomic sequencing and scientific discovery. These workloads demand extremely fast, power-efficient, and secure hardware. To meet these challenges, embedded memory and hardware security are essential enablers for scalable, trusted compute infrastructure.

 

Technologies

Achieving high throughput while maintaining system integrity, thermal efficiency, and secure data handling is vital in HPC environments. The following technologies are critical components in data-centric compute platforms:

  • OTP/MTP for secure configuration and performance calibration
  • PUF-based hardware root of trust for secure key storage and lifecycle management

Identity & Secure Boot for Compute SoCs

HPC and AI accelerators rely on large-scale SoCs with billions of transistors. Any vulnerability in boot-time integrity can compromise the entire system. OTP and PUF technologies offer a secure foundation—generating unique cryptographic keys within the chip, enabling secure boot, firmware verification, and protection against cloning or tampering. These silicon fingerprints ensure that only authorized code is executed.

Secure Configuration and Performance Calibration

In compute-intensive systems, reliability and performance tuning are paramount. OTP memory are commonly used to store power management configurations, binning parameters, and post-silicon calibration values. This allows chip vendors and system integrators to fine-tune thermal characteristics and optimize yield across thousands of compute nodes or GPUs.

Hardware-Level Protection for Sensitive Data

Whether processing encrypted databases or training confidential models, protecting data at the chip level is non-negotiable. PUF-based technologies provide a hardware root-of-trust to securely generate and store encryption keys without exposure to software or external interfaces. This minimizes the risk of key leakage and ensures a trusted environment for mission-critical workloads.
