Changes In The Cloud
By Bob Monkman - 14 May, 2015 - Comments: 0

I wrapped up an exciting week last Friday at the inaugural NFV World Congress at the Doubletree Hotel in San Jose last week, where more than 1,000 stakeholders had gathered to convey, debate, discuss and learn about the vision for the next-generation cloud and networking infrastructure. One of the highlights of the week was the OPNFV mini-summit to communicate the tremendous progress that t... » read more

What Is Coherency?
By Neil Parris - 09 Apr, 2015 - Comments: 0

Coherency is about ensuring all processors, or bus masters in the system see the same view of memory. Cache coherency means that all components have the same view of shared data. Just as you need both of your eyes to have the same view in order to see properly, it’s critical for every IP block that has access to a shared data source to view consistent data. For example, if I have a process... » read more

Building A Better Customized Debug And Trace Solution For Multi-Core SoCs
By Mayank Sharma - 04 Dec, 2014 - Comments: 0

If you think of debug as solving a murder case through the use of backward reasoning, then trace is the video surveillance that helps pinpoint the culprit. Trace is invaluable as it provides real-time visibility into errors, and dramatically cuts down on design cycles and iterations. A recent study done by Cambridge University found that the global cost of software debugging has risen to the... » read more

Efficient Software Development
By Christopher Seidl - 06 Nov, 2014 - Comments: 0

In the past few years, the cost of developing software for embedded systems has exploded. Previously, hardware was the biggest chunk of that cost. These days software stresses the engineering budget. Why is that? For the past 20 years or so, of the many thoroughly standardized hardware interfaces, some have been integrated into the silicon of the micro controller thereby reducing the bill of... » read more

Revolutionizing The Connected World
By Ian Johnson - 09 Oct, 2014 - Comments: 1

One of the 21st century’s biggest global developments is the evolution of connectivity. If you had asked someone 20 years ago what they understand the word ‘connected’ to mean, it is unlikely they would associate it so firmly with technology. Mobile technology has transformed the way in which we interact with one another. We are surrounded by a rapidly growing network of connected devi... » read more

How To Reduce Implementation Headaches In FinFET Processes
By Leah Schuth - 11 Sep, 2014 - Comments: 0

In this era of compressed market windows and shrinking or changing technology, today’s engineers are always looking for ways to improve their overall product performance, power and area (PPA), while also decreasing their SoC design effort. The goal is to ease time-consuming and labor-intensive implementation tasks that will yield a reduction in design time, without sacrificing accuracy and op... » read more

Enabling The Next Mobile Computing Revolution
By Brian Jeff - 07 Aug, 2014 - Comments: 0

We’ve come a long way Just think about the ‘mobile computing’ revolution over the last five years – the compute tasks we routinely handle on our mobile phonesdaily, equal those that were only possible to execute using laptops and desktops several years ago. With a direct and uninterrupted power supply from the wall, laptopsand desktops require fan-assisted cooling, a... » read more

IoT, A Market And Technology Set To Explode
By Zach Shelby - 10 Jul, 2014 - Comments: 0

While a fully-connected Internet of Things (IoT) world is still away off, an increasing number of devices are being built that can communicate with each other through wireless connections such as WiFi, Bluetooth, 6LoWPAN or Cellular. Current technology trends point toward a more seamlessly connected world, and for that to happen we must have cost-effective, low-power and highly connected dev... » read more

Processor IP Enabling The Wearable Trend
By Ellie Stone - 12 Jun, 2014 - Comments: 0

Wearable technology is one of the fastest growing market segments. It is expected to be the next big thing in the field of computing and could, over the next decade, become as large as the mobile market is today. Its growth will depend on innovative devices providing a better user experience to their non-wearable alternatives, as well as broad availability of these products backed by a supporti... » read more

The Rise Of Screens In Your Home
By Trina Watt - 08 May, 2014 - Comments: 1

The 1950s introduced the first of the screens that would come into our homes and bring visual content to the consumer. It is estimated that more than 1 billion TVs have been sold since that date. TV opened up the outside world to people in the homes from locations that they may never have heard of. It advertised products they didn’t know they needed and informed them of issues they did no... » read more
