Cadence's Dimitry Pavlovsky highlights two new features in the AMBA CHI protocol Issue G update that enhance security of the Arm architecture: Memory Encryption Contexts, which allows data in each Realm in the memory to be encrypted with a different encryption key, and Device Assignment, which introduces hardware provisions to support fully coherent caches in partially trusted remote coherent d... » read more

Reusable Power Models
By Brian Bailey - 14 Aug, 2024 - Comments: 0

Power is not a new concern, and proprietary models are available for some tasks, but the industry lacks standardization. The Silicon Integration Initiative (Si2) is hoping to help resolve that with an upcoming release of IEEE 2416, based on its Unified Power Model (UPM) work. The creation of any model is not to be taken lightly. There is a cost to its creation, verification and maintenance. ... » read more
