Where The Rubber Hits The Road: Implementing Machine Learning On Silicon
By Dave Pursley - 10 May, 2018 - Comments: 0

Machine learning (ML) is everywhere these days. The common thread between advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) vision applications in our cars and the voice (and now facial) recognition applications in our phones is that ML algorithms are doing the heavy lifting, or more accurately, the inferencing. In fact, neural networks (NN) can even be used in application spaces such as file compressi... » read more

System-Level Power Modeling Takes Root
By Ann Mutschler - 10 May, 2018 - Comments: 0

Power, heat, and their combined effects on aging and reliability, are becoming increasingly critical variables in the design of chips that will be used across a variety of new and existing markets. As more processing moves to edge, where sensors are generating a tsunami of data, there are a number of factors that need to be considered in designs. On one side, power budgets need to reflect th... » read more

The Future Of Mobile PC Is Here
By Sriram Ragunathan - 10 May, 2018 - Comments: 0

The smartphone has fundamentally changed the way other types of computing devices are being designed. Focus on energy-efficient compute, portable form factor, long battery life, and connectivity has spread far wider than just the smartphone in your hand. Nowhere has this design influence been more significant than in the area of notebook PC. The era we are just now entering is that of th... » read more

Does Power Verification Work?
By Brian Bailey - 10 May, 2018 - Comments: 1

Functional verification continues to evolve, but power verification—a somewhat new concern—remains at levels of sophistication reminiscent of functional verification 30 years ago. When will power verification catch up and what must to happen to make it possible? These are questions that the industry is still grappling with, and not everyone believes they require answers. Functional error... » read more

Implementation Of An Asynchronous Bundled-Data Router For A GALS NoC In The Context Of A VSoC
By Fraunhofer IIS/EAS - 09 May, 2018 - Comments: 0

Designs of asynchronous networks-on-chip are of growing interest because a complete asynchronous implemen- tation can solve the synchronization problems of large networks. However, asynchronous circuits suffer from the lack of proper design flows because their functionality often relies on timing constraints, which are not extensively supported by common CAD synthesis tools. This paper proposes... » read more

Mobile Machine Learning Hardware At Arm
By Arm - 09 May, 2018 - Comments: 0

Machine learning is playing an increasingly significant role in emerging mobile application domains such as AR/VR, ADAS, etc. Accordingly, hardware architects have designed customized hardware for machine learning algorithms, especially neural networks, to improve compute efficiency. However, machine learning is typically just one processing stage in complex end-to-end applications, which invol... » read more

Few business concepts are generating the buzz of digital twins — product replicas that can help target performance issues and allow for true predictive maintenance. While the benefits are obvious, companies have struggled with how to achieve this vision. But now there is a practical solution. To read more, click here. » read more

Alchip Minimizes Dynamic Power For High-Performance Computing ASICs
By Mentor, a Siemens Business - 09 May, 2018 - Comments: 0

Alchip, a fabless ASIC provider, focuses on high-performance computing ASICs. They decided to undertake a new project where they would employ the PowerPro RTL Low-Power Platform to reduce dynamic power consumption within their unique fishbone clock tree methodology. Could they achieve better power results using PowerPro and could they integrate the tool within their team and the existing design... » read more
