Traceability, Unfamiliar But Critical
By Paul Graykowski - 06 Jan, 2022 - Comments: 0

Many understand that traceability is a popular concept. Still, understanding traceability in detail is more challenging, especially in how it connects to familiar objectives in the semiconductor design space. A simple way to understand is this: When a customer (call them C) asks a semiconductor supplier (call them S) to build a device to meet a system objective, they provide S with specificatio... » read more

How Inferencing Differs From Training in Machine Learning Applications
By Sam Fuller - 06 Jan, 2022 - Comments: 0

Machine learning (ML)-based approaches to system development employ a fundamentally different style of programming than historically used in computer science. This approach uses example data to train a model to enable the machine to learn how to perform a task. ML training is highly iterative with each new piece of training data generating trillions of operations. The iterative nature of the tr... » read more

Making PUFs Even More Secure
By Bryon Moyer - 06 Jan, 2022 - Comments: 0

As security has become a must-have in most systems, hardware roots of trust (HRoTs) have started appearing in many chips. Critical to an HRoT is the ability to authenticate and to create keys – ideally from a reliable source that is unviewable and immutable. “We see hardware roots of trust deployed in two use models — providing a foundation to securely start a system, and enabling a se... » read more

Managing Today’s Advanced Vehicle Networks Design Challenges
By Brendan Morris - 06 Jan, 2022 - Comments: 0

Today’s automotive electrical and electronic (E/E) architectures are highly complex, with the functionality of many vehicle features distributed across multiple discrete ECUs. The ECUs, sensors and actuators are not all directly connected, and much of the data communication occurs across networks, often through gateways over several networks. Modern E/E architectures are formally organized ar... » read more

Manufacturing Shifts To AI Of Things
By John Koon - 06 Jan, 2022 - Comments: 0

AI is being infused into the Internet of Things, setting the stage for significant improvements in manufacturing productivity, improved uptime, and reduced costs — regardless of market segment. The traditional approach to improving manufacturing equipment reliability and efficiency is regular scheduled maintenance. While that is an improvement over just fixing or replacing equipment when i... » read more

Cybersecurity For Cars Starts With Chips And IP
By Dana Neustadter - 06 Jan, 2022 - Comments: 0

The automotive industry is undergoing a significant transformation. Cars are becoming more sophisticated and valuable with increased connectivity and capabilities to provide a better user experience. They are also collecting and transmitting more and more sensitive data and thus are becoming very attractive targets for attacks. Cybercrime in the automotive industry is growing rapidly. How bad i... » read more

2022 Is the International Year of Glass
By Paul McLellan - 06 Jan, 2022 - Comments: 0

Happy New Year! It's 2022, and I like to ease into the year gently and see what this year is the "year of." The United Nations always selects a couple of areas, and there are events all over the world during the year. International Year of Glass First, it is the International Year of Glass, or IYoG2022. Our vision of a United Nations International Year of Glass (IYoG2022) is to cel... » read more

High-Quality Test And Embedded Analytics For Secure Applications
By Siemens EDA - 05 Jan, 2022 - Comments: 0

Designs for secure applications such as smart cards and those used in the defense industry require security to ensure sensitive data is inaccessible to outside agents. This used to be a somewhat niche requirement and the implementation of custom solutions to meet these specific requirements was common. However, with the explosion within the semiconductor industry of automotive and cyber-phys... » read more
