Benefits Of Bluetooth Low Energy IP Integration Into A Single SoC
By Ron Lowman - 10 Nov, 2016 - Comments: 0

A recent Synopsys-executed user survey showed significant IoT system-on-chip (SoC) design growth from 2013 to 2015 with contributions from the new wearable IC market. Also, according to Teardown.com, in over 800 teardowns of mobile and wearable products from 2012 to 2015, wireless chips outnumbered the actual number of products, indicating multiple wireless ICs in some designs. Based on these ... » read more

To Bolster IoT Security, Think Holistically
By Nandan Nayampally - 10 Nov, 2016 - Comments: 0

On Friday Oct. 21, a new phrase captured the public’s imagination: “script kiddie.” That’s what security experts suspect was at work when a denial-of-service attack slipped in through thousands of security cameras and home entertainment devices and brought much of the Internet to its knees. If you’re not familiar with the term, “script kiddie” refers to an unskilled person who ... » read more

Need Emulation Now? You’ve Got It
By Vijay Chobisa - 10 Nov, 2016 - Comments: 0

Did you know that the way companies use hardware emulation has changed? Until recently, companies had no choice but to house their emulators in a lab and hard wire them (using lots of wires) to other supporting hardware and workstations dedicated to a single project at a time. The emulator and its set up was accessible to users at only that location and switching between projects was difficu... » read more

Why Do You Need Chip-Package-System Co-Design And Co-Analysis?
By Youngsoo Lee - 13 Oct, 2016 - Comments: 0

Whether it is the need for sustainable energy, or driving performance while keeping power at bay, or enabling safe and reliable operation of any electronic system, containment of electronic noise — power and signal noise is critical to all of the above. Other factors that impact safe and reliable operation are electromigration (EM), electromagnetic interference (EMI) and mechanical stress ena... » read more

How Software-Driven Tests Support Concurrent Power/Performance Analysis
By Steve Carlson - 13 Oct, 2016 - Comments: 0

There’s always been an intimate relationship between performance and power—and it’s one that is acutely affected by architecture. Architectural innovation can yield orders of magnitude improvements in performance/power metrics. For example, we’ve seen a growing popularity in multi-core and heterogeneous core systems with purpose-specific hardware accelerators. These configurations are o... » read more

Simplifying Software Separation With Real-Time Virtualization
By James Scobie - 13 Oct, 2016 - Comments: 0

Electronic systems are becoming more complex across multiple markets including automotive, industrial control and healthcare. Vehicles are beginning to drive themselves, industrial robots are becoming increasingly collaborative, and medical systems are automated to assist with surgery or deliver medication. This trend is not a new phenomenon. What was a high-end capability in the last generatio... » read more

From The Data Center To The Mobile Edge
By Steven Woo - 13 Oct, 2016 - Comments: 0

At the heart of the Internet of Things is the complex interplay between the needs for both low power and high performance (LPHP), a perplexing challenge rooted in the de-facto bifurcation of the IoT itself. For example, lower power mobile devices, systems and lite endpoints make up the vast majority of forward-facing consumer infrastructure, while high-performance servers at the back end are ta... » read more

Balancing Performance And Energy Consumption For IoT Applications Processors
By Angela Raucher - 13 Oct, 2016 - Comments: 0

Processor requirements in IoT applications continue to grow to support more human interaction. Functions such as detecting speech and faces or delivering a voice message are being added to existing tasks the processors already perform such as system communication and control. Since these applications operate from batteries with defined size and life expectations, not only is the energy consumpt... » read more

Deterministic ICE App Tackles ICE Limitations
By Rizwan Farooq - 13 Oct, 2016 - Comments: 0

Historically, SoC verification has used In-Circuit Emulation (ICE) to exercise the design under test (DUT) by connecting physical targets to an emulator. ICE delivers the advantage of being able to run real-world usage scenarios before tape-out. However, an ICE-based verification environment is hampered by several inherent limitations. It is restricted to trigger- and waveform-based debug. W... » read more

Making Waves In Deep Learning
By Barry Pangrle - 12 Oct, 2016 - Comments: 0

A little more than two and a half years ago I wrote Making Waves in Low-Power Design, an article about a company (at the time) called Wave Semiconductor. Fast forward the the recent Linley Processor Conference, Wave Computing’s CTO Chris Nicol gave the audience an update on the company’s eagerly awaited and soon (planned for October) to be taped-out 16K-core dataflow processor for deep lea... » read more
