Security From The Ground Up
By Thomas Ensergueix - 17 Apr, 2020 - Comments: 0

Silicon and system design are complex and costly enough in the ultra-deep sub-micron era. Now factor in security. Virtually every end application requires some level of security, and, as the cybersecurity threat rises, the importance and value of trust and assurance rises as well. This is even more evident in “high-security” use cases such as smart cards used to enter buildings, SIM card... » read more

Speeding Up Verification Using SystemC
By Ed Sperling - 23 Mar, 2020 - Comments: 0

Brett Cline, senior vice president at OneSpin Solutions, explains how adding formal verification into the high-level synthesis flow can reduce the time spent in optimization and debug by about two-thirds, why this needs to be done well ahead of RTL, starting with issues such as initialization, memory out of bounds and other issues that are difficult to find in simulation. » read more

Making Sense Of ML Metrics

Steve Roddy, vice president of products for Arm’s Machine Learning Group, talks with Semiconductor Engineering about what different metrics actually mean, and why they can vary by individual applications and use cases. » read more

More Data, More Processing, More Chips
By Ed Sperling - 07 Oct, 2019 - Comments: 0

Simon Segars, CEO of Arm, sat down with Semiconductor Engineering to talk about the impact of heterogeneous computing and new packaging approaches on IP, the need for more security, and how 5G and the edge will impact compute architectures and the chip industry. SE: There are a whole bunch of new markets opening up. How does Arm plan to tackle those? Segars: Luckily for us, we can design ... » read more

Chiplets – Taking SoC Design Where No Monolithic IC Has Gone Before
By Achronix - 03 Apr, 2019 - Comments: 0

The chiplet movement is a reaction to the rapidly changing IC landscape and the current IC fabrication realities. Engineers are increasingly realizing that it makes little sense to integrate every IP block in a system on one piece of silicon if the fit is poor. There are many advantages with monolithic silicon integration, but those advantages are rapidly being outweighed by the economics of bu... » read more

High-Speed Communication Takes A Village
By Mike Gianfagna - 31 Jan, 2019 - Comments: 0

Supply chain, partner network, ecosystem. There are a lot of ways to describe the collection of companies needed to get something done. We’ve all discussed the extensive ecosystem needed to get an advanced chip designed and built. Without a doubt, that is a formidable problem addressed by a sophisticated team of companies. I’d like to take it up a notch in this discussion, however. What abo... » read more

System Performance Analysis At ARM
By Arm - 07 Dec, 2016 - Comments: 0

Performance analysis is a vital task in modern SoC design. An under-designed SoC may run too slowly to keep up with the demands of the system. An over-designed SoC will consume too much power and require more expensive IP blocks. At ARM we want to help our partners build SoCs that deliver the best performance within their power and area budgets. The simple truth is that this is more difficul... » read more

Cooperation Instead Of Competition
By Bill Neifert - 03 Jun, 2016 - Comments: 0

I spent more than 20 years working in EDA and managed to do so without ever working for one of the big three. Big EDA companies were always the competition. Oh sure, you’d partner with them strategically if you could, but always keeping in mind that little fish swimming with big fish often end up being eaten. That all changed seven months ago when ARM acquired Carbon’s technology and tea... » read more
