The Intelligent Flexible Cloud
By Arm - 11 Mar, 2015 - Comments: 0

Network applications and services today are nearly unrecognizable from a few decades ago. The diversity, scale, and dynamic evolution of apps, services, data, and devices have led to a corresponding evolution within service provider environments. Public, private, and hybrid clouds are ascendant. Software-based approaches to more agile network management and efficiency are being pioneered by ind... » read more

HDMI 2.0 Design And Verification Challenges
By Cadence - 11 Mar, 2015 - Comments: 0

High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) is an audio/video (A/V) trans- mission protocol, which is omnipresent in consumer electronics, personal computing, and mobile products. Modern-day requirements of big screen resolutions, 3D, and multi-channel/multi-stream audio have pushed display devices to use a completely digital, high-speed transmission media, requiring a multi-layered protocol li... » read more

Veloce System-Level Power Analysis And Verification
By Mentor, a Siemens Business - 11 Mar, 2015 - Comments: 0

Power analysis and verification need to move to the system level, improving upon and extending the capabilities and scope of RTL and gate-level techniques. The performance, capacity, and flexibility of emulation platforms make them the ideal technology for system-level power analysis and verification. Veloce delivers unprecedented power verification and analysis capabilities. This paper shares ... » read more

Reality Check: A Guide To Understanding Optimized Processor Cores
By Synopsys - 11 Mar, 2015 - Comments: 0

The performance of the processor core in an SoC is often a key product differentiator. It's not just about performance though - power and cost are equally important considerations. In today's markets, SoC developers have to hit aggressive power, performance and area goals to remain competitive. This white paper discusses the many interacting parameters that determine the optimum implementation ... » read more

Power/Performance Bits: March 10
By Jesse Allen - 10 Mar, 2015 - Comments: 0

Simulated memories Resistance-switching cells hold promise as a faster, higher capacity, lower power replacement for current non-volatile memory. Yet "the mechanisms that govern their remarkable properties have been poorly understood, limiting our ability to assess the ultimate performance and potential for commercialization," said Alejandro Strachan, professor of materials engineering at Pu... » read more

Hi-tech pens The University of California at San Diego has developed a hi-tech ballpoint pen. Researchers have taken off-the-shelf ballpoint pens and filled them with bio inks. With so-called enzymatic-ink-based roller pens, users are able to draw biocatalytic sensors on a surface. [caption id="attachment_18297" align="alignleft" width="300"] Researchers draw sensors capable of detecting... » read more

Tech Talk: The Enigma Machine
By Ed Sperling - 09 Mar, 2015 - Comments: 0

Paul Kocher, president of Rambus' Cryptography Research Division, shows off the famed World War II cypher device—the same machine used in the movie "The Imitation Game", and explains how and why the supposedly unbreakable code was cracked, and why that applies to current day security.
