Artificial Intelligence Chips: Past, Present and Future
By Ty Garibay - 02 Aug, 2018 - Comments: 0

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is much in the news these days. AI is making medical diagnoses, synthesizing new chemicals, identifying the faces of criminals in a huge crowd, driving cars, and even creating new works of art. Sometimes it seems as if there is nothing that AI cannot do and that we will all soon be out of our jobs, watching the AIs do everything for us. To understand the origins ... » read more

Smart Cities’ Head Start On The Mobility Future
By Andrew Macleod - 02 Aug, 2018 - Comments: 0

Even if autonomy is still mostly in the R&D, balky-science-project phase, vehicle connectivity is increasingly here today. And that’s good news since connected cars deliver a meaningful subset of the societal upside promised by their eventual fully autonomous future selves, especially when it comes to safety, traffic management and navigation. But beyond the dashboard, as the world become... » read more

5G Gets Closer To Commercialization
By Robert Vamosi - 02 Aug, 2018 - Comments: 0

Cellular carriers would like to have their new 5G networks up by the end of 2018 or early 2019. One problem: they need a set of standards to create the new technology. In June, tech representatives met and made significant first step for technology companies to start building out the necessary 5G chips and software. In La Jolla, California, the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) met f... » read more

The Importance Of An eFPGA’s Configuration Interfaces
By Volkan Oktem - 02 Aug, 2018 - Comments: 0

eFPGAs are heralded throughout the semiconductor industry for their flexibility and programmability, especially when it comes to high-performance compute applications. Let’s take a closer look at how an eFPGA is configured. Each instance of the eFPGA in an ASIC or SoC design must be configured after the system powers up because this eFPGA employs nonvolatile SRAM technology to store its co... » read more

Sandia Labs’ New Configurable SoC
By Geoff Tate - 02 Aug, 2018 - Comments: 0

At DAC 2018, held in June in San Francisco, Sandia Labs made a public presentation for the first time describing its first SoC using eFPGA, called Dragonfly. This is the first public disclosure by any organization describing its requirements, architecture and use cases for the new technology option of embedded FPGA. John Teifel led the project for Sandia National Laboratories. Sandia has ... » read more

When The IoT Really Works
By Dipesh Patel - 02 Aug, 2018 - Comments: 0

The IoT is a transformational tool for business. It gives them superpowers they never had before. This holds true whether it's an energy provider drawing data from its infrastructure to sense failures, a sensor-equipped building anticipating and then proactively dealing with occupants’ needs,  or a retailer using data streams from its stores and warehouses to streamline operations. ... » read more

Not Enough Respect For SoC Interconnect
By K. Charles Janac - 30 Jul, 2018 - Comments: 0

For high-volume system-on-chip (SoC) applications—artificial intelligence (AI), automotive, mobility, solid state drives and more—effective interconnect technology can generate hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue due to smaller chip area, better functionality and faster delivery of SoC platforms. State-of-the-art interconnect technology also allows chip designers to create SoC deriva... » read more

Reconfigurable AI Building Blocks For SoCs And MCUs
By Geoff Tate - 10 Jul, 2018 - Comments: 0

FPGA chips are in use in many AI applications today, including Cloud datacenters. Embedded FPGA (eFPGA) is now becoming used for AI applications as well. Our first public customer doing AI with EFLX eFPGA is Harvard University, who will present a paper at Hot Chips August 20th on Edge AI processing using EFLX: "A 16nm SoC with Efficient and Flexible DNN Acceleration for Intelligent IoT Devi... » read more

Flexibility A Key For Future Cars
By Ann Mutschler - 09 Jul, 2018 - Comments: 0

First, a bit of eye candy seen in IC Manage’s booth at the recent Design Automation Conference in San Francisco. The McLaren P1 GTR. It was impossible not to stop and drool over this gorgeous, non-street-legal racecar, where all bets are off when it comes to following safety and reliability specifications.

Self-Driving Hits The Safety Reset Button
By Andrew Macleod - 09 Jul, 2018 - Comments: 0

All of a sudden the autonomous future is looking a bit more uncertain, which is somewhat surprising given what tech and auto boosters have been saying for years now — namely, that self-driving cars are “just around the corner.” (Google that phrase to see just how often they’ve been saying it. Even the starchy Economist trumpets this very meme.) The American Center for Mobility (ACM... » read more
