In addition to enabling superior performance and efficiency, 5G expands the ... » read more

Tensilica DSPs Support In Eigen Library


Eigen is a high-level C++ library of template headers for linear algebra, matrix and vector operations, geometrical transformations, numerical solvers, and related algorithms. Eigen is open-source software licensed under the Mozilla Public License 2.0 (MPL2). Eigen is implemented using the expression templates metaprogramming technique, meaning it builds expression trees at compile time... » read more

Chip Industry’s Technical Paper Roundup: Jan 3


New technical papers added to Semiconductor Engineering’s library this week. [table id=72 /] If you have research papers you are trying to promote, we will review them to see if they are a good fit for our global audience. At a minimum, papers need to be well researched and documented, relevant to the semiconductor ecosystem, and free of marketing bias. There is no cost involved for us ... » read more

Research Bits: Jan. 3


Printing electronics on curved surfaces Researchers from North Carolina State University have demonstrated a new technique for directly printing electronic circuits onto curved and corrugated surfaces. They have used the technique to create prototype “smart” contact lenses, pressure-sensitive latex gloves, and transparent electrodes. “There are many existing techniques for creating pr... » read more
