ZeroPoint's nanosecond-scale memory compression could tame power-hungry AI infrastructure
AI is only the latest and hungriest market for high-performance computing, and system architects are working around the clock to wring every drop of performance out of every watt. Swedish startup ZeroPoint, armed with €5 million ($5.5M USD) in new funding, wants to help them out with a novel memory compression technique at the nanosecond scale — and yes, it's exactly as complicated as it sounds. The concept is this: losslessly compress data just before it enters RAM, and decompress it afterwards, effectively widening the memory channel by 50% or more just by adding one small piece to the chip.

I was visibly confused when I received the Anova Precision Cooker Nano as a gift. I associated sous vide cooking methods with the sort of intimidating, molecular gastronomy-style cuisine that is typically a fool's errand for home cooks. But I quickly found out that a sous vide machine is the perfect tool for someone like me who cooks herself a huge batch of something on Sunday and grazes on it through the workweek.
