MA martin_casado@martin_casadoChips, memory, interconnects, storage, robotics. Compute hardware infrastructure is undergoing the largest transformation in 30 years. Whatever innovation challenges lie ahead, computer science will be central to the solution. And we've raised $1.1B to help that along.
