How Digital Twins Are Unlocking The Next Era Of Aerospace And Government Applications


By Ian Land, Jason Niatas, and Marc Serughetti Amidst changing economic waters and stringent manufacturing cycles, the aerospace, defense, and government landscape has seen an impressive technological evolution in the last few years. Innovations such as automating mission-critical systems and deploying advanced electronics in deep space exploration are expanding opportunities for government ... » read more

Securing Accelerator Blades For Datacenter AI/ML Workloads


Data centers handle huge amounts of AI/ML training and inference workloads for their individual customers. Such a vast number of workloads calls for efficient processing, and to handle these workloads we have seen many new solutions emerge in the market. One of these solutions is pluggable accelerator blades, often deployed in massively parallel arrays, that implement the latest state-of-the-ar... » read more

A Security Maturity Model For Hardware Development


With systems only growing more sophisticated, the potential for new semiconductor vulnerabilities continues to rise. Consumers and hardware partners are counting on organizations meeting their due diligence obligations to ensure security sensitive design assets are secure when products are shipped. This is an iterative process, so a security maturity model is a critical element in getting it ri... » read more

Security For SoC Interfaces Takes Center Stage In Data Protection


Due to today’s connected world, a high volume of valuable data, susceptible to tampering and physical attacks, is processed, stored, and moved between devices, cars, and data centers. And the number of connections continues to grow. Even with supply chain disruptions and the overarching effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on chip manufacturing, the number of global IoT connections grew by 8% in ... » read more

AI ASICs Will Become Increasingly Application-Specific


Back in 2017, I blogged about AI ASICs being not exactly ASICs. One of the primary reasons for not calling AI acceleration chips ASIC is because historically ASIC or Application Specific Integrated Circuit has referred to a fixed hardware block with limited programmability. AI ASICs on the other hand offer significant programming via frameworks such as Tensorflow and the point was that they are... » read more

CXL 3.0: From Expansion To Scaling


At the Flash Memory Summit in August, the CXL Consortium released the latest, and highly anticipated, version 3.0 of the Compute Express Link (CXL) specification. This new version of the specification builds on previous generations and introduces several compelling new features that promise to increase data center performance and scalability, while reducing the total cost of ownership (TCO). ... » read more

DRM Security Trends And Future


Digital rights management (DRM) is known to protect and encrypt content in order to deliver it to the device. DRM’s main purpose is to close the gaps in content protection strategies and enable content consumption on different devices to be easily accessible. As DRM technologies have matured, it is expected that their security capabilities will follow. The security measures implemented on ... » read more

Formula 1: Riding The Sustainability Wave To Full Electrification


Ferdinand Porsche once said, "The perfect race car crosses the finish line 1st and then crumbles into its individual parts." What a take, right? Well, in the 90s, that's the best they could hope for. Let's go back to the 1990s of Formula 1 (F1). The time was marked by extreme competition among racing teams. There was more freedom in the engine you could run, meaning that teams could choose b... » read more

Streamline DO-254 Compliance With Model-Based Design


By Eric Cigan, MathWorks, and Jacob Wiltgen, Siemens EDA The purpose of DO-254 (formally known as RTCA/ DO-254 or ED80) is to provide guidance for the development of airborne electronic hardware. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), and other worldwide aviation safety authorities require this standard to ensure that complex electronic hardware us... » read more

The Automotive Paradigm Shift


We are currently experiencing a pivotal moment concerning the automotive industry. Three major technology areas are converging. First, there is an enormous demand for advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) coupled with the increasing trend toward autonomy. Second is the digitization and electrification of everything, which is driving the need for efficient compute. Third is the trend to high... » read more
