Mapping Heat Across A System
By Ann Mutschler - 13 May, 2021 - Comments: 0

Thermal issues are becoming more difficult to resolve as chip features get smaller and systems get faster and more complex. They now require the integration of technologies from both the design and manufacturing flows, making design for power and heat a much broader problem. This is evident with the evolution of a smart phone. Phones sold 10 years ago were very different devices. Functionali... » read more

Modernizing Audio Codec Industry Standards For Enhanced Power Savings And Performance
By Raj Pawate - 13 May, 2021 - Comments: 0

Mobile phones have become a necessity, and we all use them to talk, play, communicate, and manage many aspects of our lives. While you may have an iPhone, your friends might have an Android phone  from one of several vendors. They all look and feel different, yet you can seamlessly talk with your friends. How is that possible? While they are different in some ways, they are similar in many oth... » read more

By Chris South and Theresa Duncan The global economy is rapidly transitioning to portable and storable electricity, which impacts every major technology sector, especially consumer electronics, clean energy, and mobility/transportation. The electric vehicle (EV) market, in particular, has seen a significant uptick in sales in the past decade. According to BloombergNEF, by 2040 over half of ... » read more

HyperRec: Efficient Recommender Systems with Hyperdimensional Computing
By Technical Paper Link - 12 May, 2021 - Comments: 0

A group of researchers are taking a different approach to AI. The University of California at San Diego, the University of California at Irvine, San Diego State University and DGIST recently presented a paper on a new hardware algorithm based on hyperdimensional (HD) computing, which is a brain-inspired computing model. The new algorithm, called HyperRec, uses data that is modeled with bina... » read more

Machine Learning At The Edge
By Siemens EDA - 12 May, 2021 - Comments: 0

Moving machine learning to the edge has critical requirements on power and performance. Using off-the-shelf solutions is not practical. CPUs are too slow, GPUs/TPUs are expensive and consume too much power, and even generic machine learning accelerators can be overbuilt and are not optimal for power. In this paper, learn about creating new power/memory efficient hardware architectures to meet n... » read more

AnastASICA — Towards Structured and Automated Analog/Mixed-Signal IC Design For Automotive Electronics
By Fraunhofer IIS/EAS - 12 May, 2021 - Comments: 0

In our world based on electronics, the design of analog/mixed-signal (AMS) ICs is still mainly done manually. While digital design benefits from complete synthesis flows, analog lags far behind in terms of development time, cost, and risk. Analog design flows are hardly standardized and necessitate the four eye principle as important quality tool. Thus, highly experienced designers who incorpor... » read more

Designing Secure and Trusted Silicon Using Shift-Left in Verification
By Synopsys - 12 May, 2021 - Comments: 0

Designing secure silicon requires the design to be stable at all times, it shouldn't enter unknown states at any time to make it vulnerable from the security point of view. This paper identifies different sources of instability such as combinational feedback loop, unguarded clock and reset crossing, unguarded power crossing, etc. These instabilities can lead to unknown value propagation and hig... » read more

So, there is a need for an efficient hardware that can execute complex algorithms efficiently as well as adapt to rapid enhancements in this technology. Xilinx's Kria K26 SOM is designed to address the requirements of executing ... » read more

MIPI Drives Performance for Next-Generation Displays
By Mixel - 12 May, 2021 - Comments: 0

In late 2000, Nokia announced its iconic 3310 handset which featured an 84×48-pixel pure monochrome display. Seven years later, Apple unveiled its first iPhone with a 90mm (3.5”) screen and 320×480-pixel resolution (at 163 ppi). Cameras and high-quality displays quickly became the de-facto standard for smartphones by the mid-2000s. However, proprietary interface solutions for connecting cam... » read more
