Generative Design for Autonomous Vehicle Electrical Systems
By Mentor, a Siemens Business - 09 Jan, 2019 - Comments: 0

The massive complexity inherent in autonomous vehicle design will push the tools and methodologies used by automotive engineers to their limits. This is especially true in the electrical and electronic systems domains as they come to dominate the operation of a vehicle’s safety-critical systems and amenities. To compete, autonomous car manufacturers will need a new design methodology that ena... » read more

Overview of NMAX Neural Inferencing
By Flex Logix - 09 Jan, 2019 - Comments: 0

At HotChips 2018, Microsoft presented the attached slide in their Brainwave presentation: the ideal is to achieve high hardware utilization at low batch size. Existing architectures don’t do this: they have high utilization only at high batch sizes which means high latency. NMAX’ architecture loads weights quickly achieving almost the same high utilization at batch=1 as at large batch sizes... » read more

Speedchip FPGA Chiplets
By Achronix - 09 Jan, 2019 - Comments: 0

Next-generation SoC platforms are evolving rapidly to process and move enormous amounts of data from the edge; over the network and to the cloud for high data and compute intensive applications such as AI and machine learning, high-performance computing (HPC) and autonomous driving. As a result, next-generation ASICs need to be larger, faster and further optimized for performance, power and are... » read more

Get Smart with NB-IoT
By Synopsys - 09 Jan, 2019 - Comments: 0

NB-IoT is an emerging technology for narrowband wireless communication standardized by 3GPP. It has been designed with a focus on minimizing end-user equipment processing requirements and power consumption to enable the massive deployment of low-cost devices for a broad range of smart applications. This white paper highlights the key challenges of NB-IoT modem design. It proposes a hardware/so... » read more

Mixed-Signal Methodology Guide
By Cliosoft - 09 Jan, 2019 - Comments: 0

ClioSoft wrote the chapter on SoC design data management in Cadence’s "Mixed-Signal Methodology Guide." Register to receive an electronic copy of this chapter. Introduction Software teams have long used version control and data management systems and they have become an integral part of a software development environment. Practically, no significant software project is started without a so... » read more

Consolidating RF Flow for High-Frequency Product Design
By Cadence - 09 Jan, 2019 - Comments: 0

Design flows are currently fragmented due to the use of poorly connected EDA tools for various design tasks. Fragmented flows are unable to meet new challenges such as increased system and circuit complexity, stricter bandwidth requirements, smaller device sizes, and changing packaging needs. In this white paper, we look at how the Cadence Virtuoso RF Solution provides a single, well-integrated... » read more

AV Testing Advances Without Standards
By Kevin Fogarty - 08 Jan, 2019 - Comments: 0

The failure of the AV START Act in the United States Senate did more than just delay U.S. federal regulations for self-driving car technology that has yet to progress beyond the pilot-test stage. It delayed discussions that could have narrowed the almost infinite number of choices automated vehicles (AVs) must be prepared to make by creating guidelines defining what constitutes "safe" operat... » read more

Lies, Damn Lies, And TOPS/Watt
By Geoff Tate - 07 Jan, 2019 - Comments: 1

There are almost a dozen vendors promoting inferencing IP, but none of them gives even a ResNet-50 benchmark. The only information they state typically is TOPS (Tera-Operations/Second) and TOPS/Watt. These two indicators of performance and power efficiency are almost useless by themselves. So what, exactly, does X TOPS really tell you about performance for your application? When a vendor ... » read more

Week in Review: IoT, Security, Auto
By Jeff Dorsch - 04 Jan, 2019 - Comments: 0

Internet of Things The drone episode last month at Gatwick Airport in the United Kingdom forced the cancellation or diversion of more than 1,000 flights over three days. While local police arrested a couple suspected of being behind the drone flights, they were quickly exonerated and released. Questions remain on how airports should respond to such episodes, which are bound to happen again and... » read more

December ’18 Startup Funding: Big Rounds As 2018 Ends
By Jeff Dorsch - 03 Jan, 2019 - Comments: 0

During the month of December, 16 startups had private funding rounds of $100 million and up, with half of them in the mobility area. Those 16 rounds totaled $3.2 billion as the year concluded. Before the holidays, the SoftBank Vision Fund invested $500 million in Cambridge Mobile Telematics, provider of the DriveWell platform used by insurers, vehicle fleets, wireless carriers, and others to... » read more
