Playing Into China’s Hands
By Ed Sperling - 13 Jun, 2019 - Comments: 1

The fallout over blacklisting Huawei in particular, and China in general, has set the tone for a nasty global race. But it is almost certain to produce a different result than the proponents of a trade war are expecting. The idea behind tariffs and the blacklisting of Huawei is to starve China of vital technology. So far, the impact has been minimal. Reports from inside of China are equa... » read more

Building Your First Chip For Artificial Intelligence? Read This First
By Ron Lowman - 13 Jun, 2019 - Comments: 0

As artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities enter new markets, the IP selected for integration provides the critical components of the AI SoC. But beyond the IP, designers are finding a clear advantage in leveraging AI expertise, services, and tools to ensure the design is delivered on time, with a high level of quality and value to the end customer for new and innovative applications. Over... » read more

HBM2e Offers Solid Path For AI Accelerators
By Sanjay Charagulla - 13 Jun, 2019 - Comments: 0

Today, AI processors are so blazingly fast that they’re constantly having to wait for data from memory. Unfortunately, with the status quo, memory is just not fast enough to unleash the true performance of those new and highly advancing AI processors. In simple terms, AI processor performance is rapidly growing, and memory is not keeping up. This creates a bottleneck, or what Rambus calls the... » read more

Speed Up P2P Resistance Debugging With Selective Highlighting
By Slava Zhuchenya - 13 Jun, 2019 - Comments: 0

Point-to-point (P2P) resistance simulation calculates the effective parasitic resistance from one or more specified points (sources) to another set of points (sinks) on an integrated circuit (IC) layout. The results of these simulations are a key component in the verification of the robustness and reliability of IC layout interconnect—designers must have this information to accurately perform... » read more

Resetting Serial Memory When A System Failure Occurs
By Paul Hill - 13 Jun, 2019 - Comments: 0

Stability is an important consideration in embedded design, but electronic systems can suffer malfunctions triggered by a myriad of root causes. These include poor signal integrity, power spikes, software errors, and erroneous user interaction, just to name a few. These anomalies, in turn, can lead to inconsistent system operation or can even cause the system to hang. Although the list of po... » read more

Deep Learning Models With MATLAB And Cortex-A
By Jason Andrews - 13 Jun, 2019 - Comments: 0

Today, I’ve teamed up with Ram Cherukuri of MathWorks to provide an overview of the MathWorks toolchain for machine learning (ML) and the deployment of embedded ML inference on Arm Cortex-A using the Arm Compute Library. MathWorks enables engineers to get started quickly and makes machine learning possible without having to become an expert. If you’re an algorithm engineer interested ... » read more

Bottlenecks For Edge Processors
By Ed Sperling - 09 May, 2019 - Comments: 0

New processor architectures are being developed that can provide two to three orders of magnitude improvement in performance. The question now is whether the performance in systems will be anything close to the processor benchmarks. Most of these processors doing one thing very well. They handle specific data types and can accelerate the multiply-accumulate functions for algorithms by distri... » read more

Driving AI, ML To New Levels On MCUs
By Rhonda Dirvin - 09 May, 2019 - Comments: 0

One of the most dramatic impacts of technology of late has been the implementation of artificial intelligence and machine learning on small edge devices, the likes of which are forming the backbone of the Internet of Things. At first, this happened through sheer engineering willpower and innovation. But as the drive towards a world of a trillion connected devices accelerates, we must find wa... » read more

ASIC/IC Trends With A Focus On Factors Of Silicon Success
By Harry Foster - 09 May, 2019 - Comments: 0

“The more you know, the more you know you don't know.” ― Aristotle, 4th C. BC When Aristotle uttered this humble aphorism, he wasn’t telling us to throw up our hands and not bother with learning. He was encouraging us to continue digging deeper, to get answers and ask questions of those answers — that the thrills and rewards of study are truly without end. This is a big part of ou... » read more

Engineering The Signal For GDDR6
By Shawn Nikoukary - 09 May, 2019 - Comments: 0

DDR1 through DDR3 had their challenges, but speeds were below one gigabit and signal integrity (SI) challenges were more centered around static timing and running pseudo random binary sequence (PRBS) simulations. Now, with GDDR6, we are working on 16 to 20 gigabits per second (Gbps) signaling and even faster in the near future. As a result, engineering the signal for GDDR6 will require careful ... » read more
