Re-Targetable LLVM C/C++ Compiler For RISC-V


RISC-V is a modular instruction set architecture (ISA) with great customization capabilities that enable innovation and differentiation without fragmentation. On top of the baseline modules from ratified/standard ISA extensions, such as integer instructions or floating-point instructions, designers can add custom instructions: pure design freedom! And the reasons for adding instructions are man... » read more

Adding Differentiating Value And Reducing IP Integration Time for Your SoC


In the most efficient SoC design processes, semiconductor companies design their own, differentiated IP blocks, acquire high-quality third-party IP, configure it in an SoC-optimized way, and integrate all blocks into the SoC infrastructure of clocks, voltage supplies, on-chip buffer memories or registers, and test circuits. The SoC design team defines and drives the SoC-specific implementation ... » read more

The Week in Review: IoT


Cybersecurity The U.S. and U.K. governments collaborated on an unprecedented message on Monday, together warning that Russian cyberattacks may extend beyond government and private organizations to individual homes and offices. The attacks may focus on Internet of Things devices, said Rob Joyce, the cybersecurity coordinator for the National Security Council, who soon after resigned from the Wh... » read more

Addressing The Productivity Gaps In IIoT


The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) can be enabled by many different topologies and permutations of underlying infrastructure, but the one constant is that it brings new levels of profitability, efficiency, and productivity to businesses and industries near and far. The IIoT is enabled by connectivity from device to device, and device to and from the cloud. However, it’s not only abou... » read more

Mentor Graphics And IXIA De-Risk Networking SoC Verification


The Veloce VN App bridges the gap between pre-silicon verification and post-silicon validation of networking designs by integrating the industry-leading IXIA virtual networking test solution with the Veloce emulation platform. Networking design teams can now run the same tests in simulation, emulation and the lab. The Veloce VN App supports high performance and offers debug advantage of pre-sil... » read more
