Examining DevSecOps Realities And Opportunities
By Synopsys - 09 May, 2018 - Comments: 0

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

Blog Review: May 9
By Jesse Allen - 09 May, 2018 - Comments: 0

Mentor's Doug Amos explains the differences (and similarities) between verification and validation, why switching between engines needs to be simpler, and why the limits of verification are driving a growth in validation importance. Synopsys' Melissa Kirschner provides a primer on 5G and the five technologies that will need to work in tandem to bring the promised high speeds and low latency.... » read more

Designing Hardware For Security
By Ed Sperling - 09 May, 2018 - Comments: 1

By Ed Sperling and Kevin Fogarty Cyber criminals are beginning to target weaknesses in hardware to take control of devices, rather than using the hardware as a stepping stone to access to the software. This shift underscores a significant increase in the sophistication of the attackers, as evidenced by the discovery of Spectre and Meltdown by Google Project Zero in 2017 (made public in Ja... » read more

Manufacturing Bits: May 8
By Mark LaPedus - 08 May, 2018 - Comments: 0

Electrolyte transistors Delft University of Technology, the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS) and NTT have developed a nanotransistor technology that will make it easier to measure the concentration of different electrolytes in the body. Electrolytes involve nutrients and chemicals in the body. They perform important functions and a disruption of the electrolyte balance is... » read more

Power/Performance Bits: May 8
By Jesse Allen - 08 May, 2018 - Comments: 0

Cobalt-free cathodes Researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, built lithium-ion battery cathodes without cobalt that can store 50% more energy than traditional cobalt-containing cathodes. Currently, lithium-ion battery cathodes use layered structures, which cobalt is necessary to maintain. When lithium ions move from the cathode to anode during charging, a lot of space is left... » read more

System Bits: May 8
By Ann Mutschler - 08 May, 2018 - Comments: 0

Unlocking the brain Stanford University researchers recently reminded that for years, the people developing artificial intelligence drew inspiration from what was known about the human brain, and now AI is starting to return the favor: while not explicitly designed to do so, certain AI systems seem to mimic our brains’ inner workings more closely than previously thought.

The Case For Chiplets
By Ed Sperling - 07 May, 2018 - Comments: 4

Discussion about chiplets is growing as the cost of developing chips at 10/7nm and beyond passes well beyond the capabilities of many chipmakers. Estimates for developing 5nm chips (the equivalent 3nm for TSMC and Samsung) are well into the hundreds of millions of dollars just for the NRE costs alone. Masks costs will be in the double-digit millions of dollars even with EUV. And that's assum... » read more

NIWeek on Offer in May

National Instruments is putting on its annual NIWeek conference and exhibition this month, May 21-24 at the Austin Convention Center in the capital of Texas. Details on the agenda and the full four-day program are available here. I’ve attended NIWeek for the past two years, and it’s an opportunity to learn new things, see impressive product demonstrations, and hear about developments ... » read more

Surface Modification: Solving Semiconductor Manufacturing Challenges
By Reuben Chacko - 07 May, 2018 - Comments: 0

Process reliability and faster technology deployment are two of the most pressing manufacturing challenges currently facing the semiconductor industry. In a world of ever-evolving technology and innovation, engineers are working to transform materials that don’t possess all the desired functions through a method called “surface modification” – the act of modifying a material’s surface... » read more

How Power, Lighting, And EVS Improve Rotorcraft Safety And Performance
By Astronics - 07 May, 2018 - Comments: 0

With rotorcraft serving rugged duty across a wide spectrum of mission-critical industries including firefighting, police work, emergency medical services (EMS), oil and gas transport, and search and rescue (SAR), integrating new technologies optimizes the safety and operational performance of the vehicle. Whether line-fit or retrofit, rotorcraft that operate in rugged, degraded environments dep... » read more
