Symmetric Multiprocessing (SMP) RTOS On Xtensa Multicore


An increasing number of multi-threaded embedded applications want to leverage multicore designs. Symmetric Multiprocessing (SMP) RTOS provides automatic load balancing of multiple threads in a multicore environment. Also, numerous legacy multi-threaded embedded applications are deployed on a single-core RTOS that customers want to move to a multicore environment. For these reasons, application ... » read more

Beyond Simulation: Transforming Early IC Design With Insight Analyzer


Traditional verification methods are proving inadequate for addressing critical reliability challenges in today's increasingly complex integrated circuit (IC) designs. Modern IC design requires a proactive approach to verification that emphasizes early-stage analysis. The shift-left methodology enables earlier identification of potential design risks, addressing the complex challenges of IP blo... » read more

Building Vision-Enabled Devices To Capture The Emerging Wave In IoT


The evolution of vision (the eye) is considered one of the most significant events in the history of life on Earth. 540 million years ago, during the Cambrian period, there was a sudden burst of evolutionary activity that resulted in the appearance of a variety of new species. Many of these species were characterized by the development of an eye which allowed them to perceive and interact with ... » read more

What Exactly Is Multi-Physics?


Multi-physics is the new buzzword in semiconductor design and analysis, but the fuzziness of the term is a reflection of just how many new and existing problems need to be addressed simultaneously in the design flow with advanced nodes and packaging. This disaggregation of planar SoCs and the inclusion of more processing elements, memories, interconnects, and passives inside a package has cr... » read more

Research Bits: Feb. 10


Speeding up 3D NAND etch Researchers from Lam Research, the University of Colorado Boulder, and Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) investigated ways to speed up the cryogenic reactive ion etching process for 3D NAND by using a combined hydrogen fluoride gas to create the plasma. “Cryo etch with the hydrogen fluoride plasma showed a significant increase in the etching rate compared... » read more

Chiplets: Where Are We Today?


The 3rd annual Chiplet Summit was held in Santa Clara from January 21st to 23rd at the Convention Center. The conference continues to grow from its 1st year when it was held at the San Jose Doubletree Hotel (almost exactly 2 years ago). During his Chairman’s Welcome presentation, Chuck Sobey mentioned that there were 41 exhibitors at this year’s conference. Chuck was also the moderator f... » read more
