The Impact of AI On Autonomous Vehicles


Automotive systems designers initially used traditional embedded-vision algorithms in advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). One of the key enablers of vehicle autonomy moving forward will be the application of artificial intelligence (AI) techniques, particularly those based upon deep-learning algorithms implemented on multi-layer convolutional neural networks (CNNs). These algorithms show... » read more

Measuring And Analyzing SoC Performance With Verdi Performance Analyzer


SoC performance is a key competitive advantage in the marketplace. The choice and configuration of SoC components—protocol IP and interconnects, is geared towards maximizing overall SoC performance. A case in point is the use of HBM (High Bandwidth Memory) technology and controllers. Currently in its third generation, HBM boasts high-performance while using less power in a substantially small... » read more

Examining DevSecOps Realities And Opportunities


We are still in the early days of including security in continuous integration (CI), continuous delivery (CD), and DevOps workflows. Given that only half of enterprise deployments include security testing elements today, there’s still plenty of room for improvement. Enterprises implementing CI, CD, and DevOps releases are working with large-scale infrastructures, focusing on faster release... » read more

How To Build Security Into Your Software Development Process


To standardize the software development life cycle (SDLC), organizations implement development methodologies to fulfill their objectives in a way that best suits their organizational goals. Whether you use Agile, Waterfall, or something in between, building security into your SDLC can improve efficiency and reduce costs if it’s done the right way. Download the eBook to: Learn how to a... » read more

Meeting ISO 26262 Software Standards


Software controls everything from safety critical systems like brakes and power steering, to basic vehicle controls like doors and windows. Yet the average car today may have up to 150,000 bugs, many of which could damage the brand, hurt customer satisfaction and, in the most extreme case, lead to a catastrophic failure. Software development testing is designed to help developers, management an... » read more

Data Converters IP For Automotive SoCs


Automotive applications place demanding requirements on IP designers and SoC integrators to meet all mandated reliability and functional safety requirements. A good understanding of such requirements and how to efficiently implement them in the SoC enables integrators to break down the challenges into manageable pieces while leveraging the characteristics (and qualification) of the integrated I... » read more

2017 Coverity Scan Report


Today, open source software (OSS) development is one of the primary driving forces of technological innovation. From artificial intelligence to the Internet of Things, autonomous driving, and cloud computing infrastructure, OSS plays a pivotal role in the evolution of a wide range of technologies. But what are the implications of its dominance? To answer this, we review what we’ve learn... » read more

CISO Research Identifies 4 Distinct Approaches To The Role


Every chief information security officer (CISO) is unique. They each have varying modes of operation that are influenced by long and distinguished careers. To understand CISO strategies and approaches, we decided to conduct a study. We gathered data in a series of extended in-person interviews with 25 CISOs with the goal of describing how a CISO’s work is organized and executed. To read mo... » read more
