Blueshift Memory launches BlueFive processor, accelerating computation by up to 50 times and saving up to 65% energy
Blueshift Memory, designer of a novel proprietary high-speed memory architecture, has announced the availability of a RISC-V processor reference design that addresses the twin problems facing today’s computing industry: the Memory Wall and the Energy Wall. The BlueFive™ processor reference design achieves between five times and 50 times faster benchmarked calculation speed, depending on application and computing language. The innovative CPU design also saves between 50% and 65% of energy consumption by reducing unnecessary data movement. According to Goldman Sachs, a 160% increase in data centre power demand is expected between 2024 and 2030, driven by the demands of AI. BlueFive is based on an open-source RISC-V core from the OpenHW Group. The CPU design integrates Blueshift Memory’s Yonder™ smart cache and BlueBlaze™ intelligent memory controller to actively manage the data, reducing memory-to-CPU latency to zero as well as accelerating calculations and saving energy. “The hardware was initially created under our successful Innovation UK Smart grant project, and it has since been refined as a reference design for a standalone processor. We are creating the software environment for this CPU with TensorFlow, Redis and C/C++ libraries, which will also make it accessible for Python,” said Peter Marosan, founder and CTO of Blueshift Memory. “Our CPU design has been validated in FPGA using the industry-standard STREAM benchmark, as well as with real-life applications like computer vision AI and the Redis in-memory database,” said Dr Sarmad Adeel, Senior Embedded Systems Engineer at Blueshift Memory. Blueshift Memory’s award-winning non-Von Neumann computer architecture works best when integrated into the memory as well as the CPU, but its innovative memory controller technology still offers significant benefits in combination with either of these components on their own. More than 90% of the time taken for an AI model to respond to a user query is wasted moving data backwards and forwards between logic and memory chips, according to SK Hynix in a recent article in The Economist. This data transfer also wastes a considerable amount of energy. “Our design is already validated on hardware, unlike other CPU solutions that aim to accelerate calculation, or offer only simulated results. It specifically addresses the Memory Wall – the fundamental problem that memory technology has fallen behind processor advances, and is holding back progress,” said Helen Duncan, CEO of Blueshift Memory. “We are already working with a commercial partner who will be a channel for our RISC-V solution. We are additionally making this reference design available for other customers to use, to create their own high-efficiency CPU designs.” “We are collaborating with a manufacturer in SE Asia as well, to create a Blueshift Memory-enabled high bandwidth memory chip, and we will make a further announcement about this very soon,” said Peter Marosan. Forecasts from Arete Research, quoted by The Economist, indicate that the market for high bandwidth memory has grown by 450% in the past year, and is expected to reach $81 billion in 2026.

Fraunhofer IIS Presents First Integration of New Emergency Warning Feature into DAB+ Head-End and Receiver Solutions
Fraunhofer IIS is the first technology supplier to implement WorldDAB’s new EWS/ASA alarm signaling standard into their digital radio DAB+ head-end and receiver solutions. The implementation was tested and demonstrated as an on-air showcase during the recent “Deutscher Warntag”. Public and private broadcasters as well as device manufacturers can now receive the innovation through a DAB ContentServer technology upgrade. In emergency situations, reliable and efficient communication is essential. Digital radio is a highly robust, trustworthy medium with nation-wide reach and plays a key role in disseminating alerts and information to the public. In Europe, the digital radio technology DAB+ is recognized as highly efficient and reliable in case of emergencies. In the event of a major disaster, such as an incident at a chemical plant, every minute counts and communication between authorities and the public has to be clear and inclusive. EWFplus for the DAB platform now supports such efforts even better by waking up receivers from standby mode with the new EWS/ASA – Automatic Safety Alert functionality. WorldDAB recently finished the standardization of the new and enhanced Emergency Warning System (EWS) to which Fraunhofer IIS has made important contributions. It will be available for certified support in consumer receivers from now on. DAB ContentServer, the DAB+ head-end technology from Fraunhofer, is the first solution delivering all features of this new standard. Tried and tested: Highly reliable warning with EWS/ASA EWS/ASA alarm signaling wakes up receivers in standby mode so that authorities can transmit important information quickly and reliably at any time. To prevent over-warning, EWS/ASA supports geofencing, a method which ensures that only receivers in the affected area respond to the alarm signaling, instead of all receivers in the DAB-coverage area. During the “Deutscher Warntag 2024” in Germany on September 12, 2024, Fraunhofer IIS and German public broadcasters BR, hr, rbb, and SWR teamed up to test and demonstrate the new EWS/ASA alarm signaling standard for DAB+. Comprehensive warnings through combined alarm signaling standard, audio, and text EWS/ASA is an integral part of EWFplus, the comprehensive solution for alert dissemination on the DAB+ digital radio platform that combines EWS alarm signaling, alert audio, and Journaline advanced text information. Existing TELESTAR EWF receivers can soon get the full EWFplus functionality including the new EWS/ASA alarm signaling standard as a firmware upgrade. The EWFplus emergency warning functionality including the new EWS/ASA alarm signaling is now part of the Fraunhofer DAB ContentServer DAB+ head-end technology. DAB broadcasters, network operators and receiver module and device developers can rely on support for both broadcast signal generation and the detailed ETI/EDI Analyzer feature. Users of the DAB ContentServer technology with an active Software Update Support plan already have access to the new feature. A decoder module that is also available from Fraunhofer IIS facilitates the upgrade of existing DAB+ receivers and chipsets/platforms to WorldDAB’s EWS/ASA alarm signaling standard and the full EWFplus functionality. EWFplus for enhanced safety and reach EWFplus ensures a complete and inclusive transmission of delivery of emergency warning content. With the addition of the Journaline advanced text application, it is possible to reach hearing-impaired users through text and embedded images, provide multilingual information to serve non-native speakers and travelers, and provide detailed instructions and information that cannot be made available as part of a pure audio announcement. Journaline allows users to interactively access relevant information through a simple menu structure on the DAB+ receiver’s screen, without the need for Internet connectivity. For example, users can look-up nearby shelter locations or support points with full descriptions, depending on the type and region of the current incident, right on their radio set with just a few clicks. Fraunhofer is working closely with broadcasters and receiver manufacturers around the world and cooperating with national disaster management agencies to enable the full EWF/EWFplus functionality on digital radio receivers to build up a comprehensive warning coverage.
