MIPI On Wheels: Enabling ADAS Applications
By Joseph Rodriguez - 11 Nov, 2021 - Comments: 0

Formed in 2003, the Mobile Industry Processor Interface (MIPI) Alliance brought together leading system and chip companies to provide standards for the essential video interface technologies for cameras and displays in phones. Over the years, the alliance has expanded its scope to publish specifications covering physical layer, multimedia, chip-to-chip and inter-processor communications (IPC), ... » read more

A DSP For Implementing High-Performance Sensor Fusion On An Embedded Budget
By Markus Willems - 11 Nov, 2021 - Comments: 0

By Markus Willems and Pieter van der Wolf Sensor fusion refers to the combining of data from multiple sensors to obtain more complete and accurate results. By using the information provided by multiple sensing devices, it is possible to achieve better context awareness. Smart mobile devices, autonomous driving, smart home appliances, industrial control, and robotics are just a few of the app... » read more

What Is An xPU?
By Brian Bailey - 11 Nov, 2021 - Comments: 0

Almost every day there is an announcement about a new processor architecture, and it is given a three-letter acronym — TPU, IPU, NPU. But what really distinguishes them? Are there really that many unique processor architectures, or is something else happening? In 2018, John L. Hennessy and David A. Patterson delivered the Turing lecture entitled, "A New Golden Age for Computer Architecture... » read more

Two Methods For Debugging SW Workloads On Arm-Based SoCs
By Andy Meier - 11 Nov, 2021 - Comments: 0

By Andy Meier and Tomasz Piekarz In a typical system-on-a-chip (SoC) development project, chip architects will make a given SoC's initial specification available to design teams years in advance of the silicon. As requirements change, they will modify both the hardware and software specifications. Typically, a large portion of the software development occurs much later in the development pro... » read more

Improving Power Efficiency In Ultra-Low Power Designs
By John Koon - 11 Nov, 2021 - Comments: 0

Faster data communications in phones and data centers grabs headlines, but many applications don't require the continuous, high-data-rate communications needed for video streaming or image processing. In fact, for many devices, designing for better performance results in wasted energy and sharply curtails the time between battery charges. That is especially true for machine-to-machine (M2M) ... » read more

Changing Server Architectures In The Data Center
By Bryon Moyer - 11 Nov, 2021 - Comments: 1

Data centers are undergoing a fundamental shift to boost server utilization and improve efficiency, optimizing architectures so available compute resources can be leveraged wherever they are needed. Traditionally, data centers were built with racks of servers, each server providing computing, memory, interconnect, and possibly acceleration resources. But when a server is selected, some of th... » read more

Seeking Scale, Semiconductor Companies Embrace IoT Framework
By Mohamed Awad - 11 Nov, 2021 - Comments: 0

Fragmentation has long been the IoT’s greatest impediment. Even before the "Internet of Things" entered popular lexicon, infinite opportunity had turned into infinite complexity as companies raced to deliver solutions without any common technological framework or set of standards that might have ensured that software could be ported between technologies or hardware platforms. To bring orde... » read more

The Sky’s The Limit For Electric Airplanes
By Douglas Campbell - 11 Nov, 2021 - Comments: 0

Together, Rolls-Royce and Electroflight are ushering in the third age of aviation, with an all-electric aircraft capable of speeds exceeding 300 mph. A primary challenge is optimizing the 1,047-pound (475 kg) battery pack for structural strength, thermal management, and other critical performance criteria. As the team raced to introduce the world’s fastest zero-emissions aircraft, multiphysic... » read more

New Glasses Target Aspects Of AR & VR
By Paul McLellan - 11 Nov, 2021 - Comments: 0

Despite all the recent noise about the Metaverse (and Facebook changing its company name to Meta), I remain convinced that augmented reality (AR) is going to be more important than virtual reality (VR), at least in the medium term. For one thing, virtual reality headsets are large and expensive, at least today. I'm also not convinced that we all want to live in a virtual world like that...but I... » read more
