Built-In Security For Auto Chips
By Jeff Dorsch - 11 Apr, 2018 - Comments: 0

The road to autonomous vehicles depends upon components that are secured against hacking and other outside interference. The cybersecurity precautions necessary for self-driving cars must be embedded in chips and systems from the beginning of the supply chain. Automotive manufacturers and their Tier 1 suppliers are counting on their electronics vendors to provide products that can withst... » read more

Investment Microsoft this week said it will spend $5 billion over four years on Internet of Things programs in research, development, and partner enablement. The company previously spent $1.5 billion on developing IoT technology. The move could pay dividends for the Microsoft Azure cloud platform and lead to wider use of Azure Stack, which pairs Microsoft software with hardware from approved p... » read more

Artificial, With Questionable Intelligence
By Ed Sperling - 05 Apr, 2018 - Comments: 1

A common theme is emerging in the race to develop big machines that can navigate through a world filled with people, animals, and other assorted objects—if an accident is inevitable, what options are available to machines and how should they decide?   This question was raised at a number of semiconductor industry conferences over the past few weeks, which is interesting because this idea h... » read more

Committing To Automotive
By Ann Mutschler - 05 Apr, 2018 - Comments: 0

The autonomous driving effort has hit some painful speedbumps lately, with Tesla and Uber feeling the brunt of these. Unfortunately, the recent fatal accidents demonstrate just how challenging it is to get this technology right, and why some in this space have downshifted their efforts to learn from what happened and how to prevent it going forward. This prompted Nvidia to suspend its effort... » read more

Securing IoT Edge Devices
By Asaf Ashkenazi - 05 Apr, 2018 - Comments: 0

It certainly isn’t any secret that the industry continues to be challenged when it comes to adopting and implementing practical IoT security solutions. However, it is important to understand that IoT edge devices typically only have basic resources, such as reduced CPU processing power and a minimal amount of RAM and flash memory. This means there are limited compute capabilities available fo... » read more

eFPGAs Accelerate Data-Centric Processing
By Alok Sanghavi - 05 Apr, 2018 - Comments: 0

With the ever-increasing requirements to manage and process enterprise data, system architects are looking closer than ever at programmable logic, a technology to make computing much more efficient and secure. While traditional processors force data into their pipelines through a complex hierarchy of caches, programmable logic makes it possible to construct data pipelines. Data can flow seam... » read more

New Shifts In Automotive Design
By Ann Mutschler - 05 Apr, 2018 - Comments: 1

Four big shifts in automotive design and usage are beginning to converge—electrification, increasing connectivity, autonomous driving and car sharing—creating a ripple effect across the automotive electronics supply chain. Over the past few years the electronic content of cars and other vehicles has surged, with electrical systems replacing traditional mechanical and electro-mechanical s... » read more

Addressing The Productivity Gaps In IIoT
By Scot Morrison - 05 Apr, 2018 - Comments: 0

The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) can be enabled by many different topologies and permutations of underlying infrastructure, but the one constant is that it brings new levels of profitability, efficiency, and productivity to businesses and industries near and far. The IIoT is enabled by connectivity from device to device, and device to and from the cloud. However, it’s not only abou... » read more
