Is Programmable Overhead Worth The Cost?
By Brian Bailey - 13 Jan, 2022 - Comments: 0

Programmability has fueled the growth of most semiconductor products, but how much does it actually cost? And is that cost worth it? The answer is more complicated than a simple efficiency formula. It can vary by application, by maturity of technology in a particular market, and in the context of much larger systems. What's considered important for one design may be very different for anothe... » read more

CES 2022: In Person But Not Many People
By Paul McLellan - 13 Jan, 2022 - Comments: 0

CES was and is officially hybrid, with some events on-site in Las Vegas and some online. But many of the large exhibitors pulled out of attending in person (including Cadence, although we might be a big exhibitor at DAC but at CES we are tiny). A lot of the press seems to have stayed away in-person too. To be honest, a lot of the press has been gradually staying away for years since so much is ... » read more

Accelerating Software Development With Fast Virtual Prototypes
By Synopsys - 12 Jan, 2022 - Comments: 0

Most of today's largest semiconductor devices are highly complex system on chip (SoC) designs, which means that they include one or more embedded processors. This indicates that software provides some of the key functionality of the chip. The system cannot be fully verified or validated without both hardware and software. However, software development generally takes more time and resources to ... » read more

AI Goes Ultra Low Power — Part 1
By Fraunhofer IIS/EAS - 12 Jan, 2022 - Comments: 0

Based on the concept of the new Federal Agency for Jump Innovations (PSRIN-D), the BMBF initiated three pilot innovation competitions. One of them presented the participants with the task of developing the most energy-efficient AI system possible as a hardware implementation on an ASIC or FPGA. With this, a stack of hundreds of two-minute long ECG signals should be analyzed with a minimum of en... » read more

Power/Performance Bits: Jan. 10
By Jesse Allen - 10 Jan, 2022 - Comments: 0

Muscle-tracking clothing Researchers from the University of Utah and Gyeongsang National University developed a low-cost bioelectrical sensor that can be integrated into clothing. The sensor measures electromyography (EMG) signals that are generated in muscles when they contract. EMG signals are useful for studying muscle fatigue and recovery and could potentially be used to inform diagnosi... » read more

Power/Performance Bits: Jan. 3
By Jesse Allen - 03 Jan, 2022 - Comments: 0

Optical device integration Researchers from the University of Strathclyde, University of Glasgow, and the Australian National University propose a way to place multiple micron-scale optical devices made from different materials close together on a single silicon chip. “The development of electronics that are based on silicon transistors has enabled increasingly more powerful and flexible ... » read more
