From Specification To Chip: A Holistic Design Approach
By Kalpesh Sanghvi - 18 Dec, 2014 - Comments: 0

Chip design is getting more and more challenging in terms of power, performance, area and IP integration. At the same time, competition and time-to-market are forcing much tighter schedules. The traditional ASIC design approach taken by OEMs is to handle the majority of front-end design in-house, and then hand off either register-transfer level (RTL) code or a netlist to an outside vendor, who ... » read more

Something Old, Something New
By Ed Sperling - 20 Nov, 2014 - Comments: 0

Sooner or later, everything comes back into vogue. There are only so many permutations of fashion, architecture and other designs, and eventually something has to be recycled, even if it's an antique. Technology is no different than fashion. In the late 1990s, when governments and banks were preparing for the Y2K problem, people with knowledge of assembly code were in extremely high demand b... » read more

Hybrid Memory Cube – Ready For Prime Time
By Manohar Ayyagiri - 20 Nov, 2014 - Comments: 0

With the release this week of Hybrid Memory Cube (HMC) 2.0, designers can get their hands on mature, standards-based IP that can be used to significantly scale the performance of servers and data centers. HMC offers bandwidths up to 320 GB/s – 12X that of standard memory solutions like DDR4 – while consuming significantly less power. These benefits are too significant to ignore for ASIC, So... » read more

Standard Time And The Day Of Two Noons
By Brian Bailey - 20 Nov, 2014 - Comments: 2

Many of you know that I have a kind of fascination with dates, times and the way they have changed over time. Everyone measured time by using the sun 150 years ago, and while this may not have been highly accurate – well, who cared? Farmers got up when the sun rose and did their stuff until the sun set. Most people had no need for time and the idea of a watch would have been..well…untimely.... » read more

All three core trends are r... » read more

A Formally Free Lunch
By Brian Bailey - 05 Nov, 2014 - Comments: 0

I am sure many of you can remember the successful events staged by [getperson id="11679" p_name="Eric Hennenhofer"], founder and CEO of [getentity id="22813" comment="Obsidian Software"]. While neither his name nor that of his company may be on the tip of your tongue, DVClub might ring a few more bells. He started it so that he could have a place to meet fellow engineers while enjoying a free l... » read more
