Shaking Up The Green500
By Barry Pangrle - 17 Jan, 2013 - Comments: 0

Barry Pangrle Last September, I wrote about the efficiency of IBM’s Power7+ architecture in my blog. IBM’s Sequoia supercomputer (a BlueGene/Q system) this past June had just shot to the top of the Supercomputing Top500 chart, clocking in at 16.32 petaflop/s on the Linpack benchmark. Other systems built around the IBM BlueGene/Q, Power BQC 16C 1.60GHz, Custom were also dominating the top o... » read more

Low Power: A Solved Problem (?)
By Atrenta - 17 Jan, 2013 - Comments: 0

The Consumer Electronics Show simply begs to be written about. I had the good fortune of attending the show in person a few years back. I’m now addicted to it. A lot of those reading this will be familiar with the Design Automation Conference. If you are, think of how many people are riding in the elevator vs. how many are in the grand ballroom (any venue will do). That’s a good way to unde... » read more

CES 2013: Signs Of Things To Come
By Synopsys - 17 Jan, 2013 - Comments: 0

By Cary Chin It’s always fun to see the latest gadgets introduced at the Consumer Electronics Show, held last week in Las Vegas. This year, two in particular stuck in my mind. First, in what is clearly still a fledgling industry (not necessarily for technology reasons), Audi demonstrated its self-driving car, with the added twist that you could “call” your car. It remotely started up, ma... » read more

Reducing Cost And Mitigating Risk
By Aveek Sarkar - 17 Jan, 2013 - Comments: 0

By Aveek Sarkar & Lawrence Williams How will you design your next generation of products and keep pace with rapidly evolving market needs, while managing your margins? Many industries face these same design challenges. The speed of new product development—especially for meeting complex new design requirements—has never been more demanding. Historically, the rise in product development ... » read more

Apple’s Impact On Battery Power
By Ann Mutschler - 17 Jan, 2013 - Comments: 0

More than one person I’ve spoken with lately has pointed out the fact that battery life is no longer the most important thing when a consumer is choosing a smartphone. Wait! I thought power was the #1, be all end all in the mobile area. It was, until the Apple iPhone showed up on the scene and stole the show, dazzling consumers with the touch screen, unique features, and very Apple-like ex... » read more

The Next UPF
By Erich Marschner - 06 Dec, 2012 - Comments: 0

By Erich Marschner If all goes according to schedule, the new version (2.1) of five-year-old Unified Power Format (UPF) standard will be approved by the IEEE early next year. This is good news, because in the five years since UPF was first defined the demand for systems with both longer battery life and more functionality has increased significantly. As just one example: according to Gartner, ... » read more

Thinking Small
By Barry Pangrle - 06 Dec, 2012 - Comments: 0

By Barry Pangrle “But I am not afraid to consider the final question as to whether, ultimately—in the great future—we can arrange the atoms the way we want; the very atoms, all the way down! What would happen if we could arrange the atoms one by one the way we want them (within reason, of course; you can't put them so that they are chemically unstable, for example). — Richard Feynman, ... » read more

No Road, No Roadmap
By Atrenta - 06 Dec, 2012 - Comments: 0

Happy holidays! It’s almost that time of year. Well-wishing and celebration are customary around now. I’ll get to that in a moment. But so are retrospectives and prognostication. Let’s focus on those for a moment. What has 2012 brought us, and what lies ahead? While there have been many technology advances and exciting new product introductions this past year, one fact shines through a... » read more

Watch Out For The Cliff
By Synopsys - 06 Dec, 2012 - Comments: 0

By Cary Chin (to be sung to the tune of “George of the Jungle”) Along with superstorms, a still-limping economy, and people launching missiles and mortars at each other, the headline news of the day continues to include the impending "fiscal cliff." This is a completely artificial event that we created for ourselves more than 10 years ago, and it has been on our calendar ever since. It's ... » read more

Are There Enough Cooks In The Kitchen?
By Ann Mutschler - 06 Dec, 2012 - Comments: 0

We work in a fascinating industry, without a doubt, and I watch with interest to see the new technologies that the industry decides to adopt. finFETs and FD-SOI are some really cool technologies, in particular, with great promises. You might also know that we follow innovations in the world of chip design and manufacturing every week from academia and research institutes on all of our communiti... » read more
