With Labor Day expected to bring record-breaking domestic travel, new research from Nextbase highlights the need for patience during holiday getawaysAbout 8 in 10 (79%) American motorists have experienced road rage or aggressive driving, with more than a third (34%) experiencing it multiple times a monthRoad Rage ranked second only to distracted driving among the greatest on-road dangersVeteran law enforcement officer provides top five tips to arrive alive even if you witness a road rage incident

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 22, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Labor Day is known as the unofficial end of summer, and for many, it’s the last chance to get away for a summer vacation before school and work bring us back to reality. But with record domestic travel expected for the upcoming holiday weekend, drivers will need to pack some extra patience to avoid one of the scariest dangers on America’s highways: Road Rage.

New research commissioned by Nextbase1 – the world’s leading dash cam brand – reveals that 79% of U.S. drivers have personally experienced aggressive driving or road rage. The survey also indicates that more than a third (34%) of these drivers encounter such incidents multiple times each month or even more frequently.

The emotional toll on those targeted by road rage is significant. Survey respondents identified road rage as second only to distracted driving in ranking the greatest on-road dangers. Meanwhile, nearly half of the survey respondents reported feeling nervous (45%) or angry (44%), while others described feeling terrified (34%) or furious (26%) when faced with this aggression.

“As Labor Day approaches—a time when millions of Americans take to the roads for holiday travel—road rage becomes an even more pressing issue,” said Bryn Brooker, Head of Road Safety for Nextbase. “Increased traffic, longer drives, and heightened stress levels make drivers more susceptible to aggression and innocent families more vulnerable. A dash cam serves as an independent witness to events, but it can also be a deterrent to a would-be aggressor when they realize their actions are being recorded.”

Sergeant Chris Palaganas, a 16-year veteran law enforcement officer, offers this expert advice for surviving road rage:

Don’t get out of your car: “You never know what the other person’s state of mind is, and you have no idea if they are armed and/or violent. Instead, stay in your car, assess the situation and call authorities if necessary.”Move to a safe location: “If you feel you’re in danger, drive to a well-lit, well-populated area, like a police station or fire station.”Be a good witness: “Have a reliable dash cam rolling, capturing high-quality footage, and provide clear verbal commentary to document everything.”De-escalate the situation: “If approached by an aggressor, point to the dash cam and make it clear – calmly, without adding fuel to their fire – that they are being recorded.”Remember what’s important: “Take a breath and ask yourself what is your number one priority in this situation. It should be getting to your destination alive.”

Nextbase is dedicated to transforming how drivers protect themselves on the road. As road rage incidents continue to rise, the need for reliable, smart technology is more critical than ever. With Nextbase dash cams, drivers gain not just high-definition footage, but a comprehensive safety tool that can make a real difference in their daily lives. Nextbase isn’t just about capturing moments on the road; it’s about empowering drivers with the confidence and security they deserve every time they get behind the wheel.

HMSDK, a proprietary memory control solution lauded for its performance, is now available on Linux, the world’s largest open source operating systemHMSDK optimizes performance between heterogeneous memories, increasing bandwidth by 30% and performance by over 12%The company will foster the ecosystem by increasing software competitiveness as well as AI memory such as HBM

SEOUL, South Korea, Sept. 22, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — SK hynix Inc. (or “the company”, www.skhynix.com) announced today that the key features of its Heterogeneous Memory Software Development Kit (HMSDK)1 are now available on Linux2, the world’s largest open source operating system.

1Heterogeneous Memory Software Development Kit (HMSDK): SK hynix’s proprietary software development kit. It enables effective memory control, improving the performance of heterogeneous memory systems such as CXL memory.

2Linux: An operating system developed in 1991 by Linus Torvalds that has since expanded to become the world’s largest open source operating system. Most operating systems for cloud systems and supercomputers, as well as smartphones, cars, and appliances, are built on Linux.

HMSDK is SK hynix’s proprietary software for optimizing the operation of Compute Express Link (CXL)3, which is gaining attention as a next-generation AI memory technology along with High Bandwidth Memory (HBM). Having received global recognition for HMSDK’s performance, SK hynix is now integrating it with Linux. This accomplishment marks a significant milestone for the company as it highlights the company’s competitiveness in software, adding to the recognition for its high-performance memory hardware such as HBM.

3Compute Express Link (CXL): A next-generation interface that efficiently connects CPU, GPU, memory, and other components in high-performance computing systems to support massive, ultra-fast computation. By applying CXL to existing memory modules, the capacity can be expanded by more than 10 times.

In the future, developers around the world working on Linux will be able to use SK hynix’s technology as the industry standard for CXL memory, putting the company in an advantageous position for global collaboration on next-generation memory.

SK hynix’s HMSDK enhances memory package’s bandwidth by over 30% without modifying existing applications. It achieves this by selectively allocating memory based on the bandwidth between existing memory and expanded CXL memory. Additionally, the software improves performance by more than 12% over conventional systems through optimization based on access frequency, a feature which relocates frequently accessed data to faster memory.

The semiconductor industry anticipates full commercialization of CXL in the second half of 2024, coinciding with the release of the first server CPUs featuring the “CXL 2.0” specification. In preparation for this, SK hynix is currently validating CXL 2.0 memory in 96 GB and 128 GB capacities with customers. The company plans to begin mass production by the end of the year.

“For the development and spread of AI systems such as large language models (LLMs), it is now necessary to significantly improve not only semiconductors but also the level of system applications to support them,” said Youngpyo Joo, Head of Software Solution at SK hynix. “With this Linux integration and collaboration, we will strive to improve our status as a total AI memory solutions provider by innovating technologies and expanding the ecosystem in this field.”
