How To Plan And Conduct Highly Accelerated Life Testing
By Chris South - 13 Apr, 2023 - Comments: 0

Assessing the robustness of an electronic product is integral to successful design and performance. Highly accelerated life testing (HALT) is an important testing tool for this purpose, and its effectiveness can be maximized through careful planning prior to setup and detailed execution. What is HALT? HALT is the process of applying increased stressors to an electronic device to force failure... » read more

Transitioning To Photonics
By Karen Heyman - 13 Apr, 2023 - Comments: 1

Silicon photonics is undergoing a resurgence as traditional approaches for reducing power and heat become more difficult and expensive, opening the door to a whole new set of technological challenges and driving up demand for a skill set that is in short supply today. From a technology standpoint, photonics is extremely complex. Signals drift, they are modulated with heat, and structures lik... » read more

Nightmare Fuel: The Hazards Of ML Hardware Accelerators
By Steve Roddy - 13 Apr, 2023 - Comments: 0

A major design challenge facing numerous silicon design teams in 2023 is building the right amount of machine learning (ML) performance capability into today’s silicon tape out in anticipation of what the state of the art (SOTA) ML inference models will look like in 2026 and beyond when that silicon will be used in devices in volume production. Given the continuing rapid rate of change in mac... » read more

DDR5 Memory Enables Next-Generation Computing
By John Eble - 13 Apr, 2023 - Comments: 0

Computing main memory transitions may only happen once a decade, but when they do, it is a very exciting time in the industry. When JEDEC announced the publication of the JESD79-5 DDR5 SDRAM standard in 2021, it signaled the beginning of the transition to DDR5 server and client dual-inline memory modules (Server RDIMMs, Client UDIMMs and SODIMMs). We are now firmly on this path of enabling the ... » read more

Unblocking The Full Potential Of PCIe Gen6 With Shared Flow Control
By Vidushi Goel - 13 Apr, 2023 - Comments: 0

As technology advances at a rapid pace, PCI Express (or PCIe) has grown tremendously, allowing data transfer up to 64 GT/s in Gen6. This technology is widely used in data centers, artificial intelligence and machine learning computing, high-performance computing accelerators, and high-speed applications—including high-end SSDs, automotive, IoT, and mil-aero. To fully utilize this high-spee... » read more

Introducing Device Virtualization Principles For Real-Time Systems
By Alexandre Romana - 13 Apr, 2023 - Comments: 0

The rising market share of electric vehicles and the reduction in combustion engines required in the future is transforming the automotive industry. One could think this would lead to a simplification in vehicle design, but with driver assistance technologies becoming a key differentiator, they are in fact becoming real "data centers on wheels." Furthermore, car drivers are used to a consumer-b... » read more

Printing Grids In 3D
By David Garlisch - 13 Apr, 2023 - Comments: 0

Those of you who attended the 2011 Pointwise User Group Meeting may remember that our company president, John Chawner, mentioned during his closing statements how nice it would be to have the ability to print your grids in 3D. That was more than just a dreamy, "what if" statement. It is a reality! Almost. A little history 3D-printed F-16 forward fuselage. I have always been fascinat... » read more
