Artificial Intelligence Chips: Past, Present and Future
By Ty Garibay - 02 Aug, 2018 - Comments: 0

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is much in the news these days. AI is making medical diagnoses, synthesizing new chemicals, identifying the faces of criminals in a huge crowd, driving cars, and even creating new works of art. Sometimes it seems as if there is nothing that AI cannot do and that we will all soon be out of our jobs, watching the AIs do everything for us. To understand the origins ... » read more

Why The IIoT Is Not Secure
By Kevin Fogarty - 02 Aug, 2018 - Comments: 0

The Internet of Things is famously insecure, but not because the technology to build it or secure it is immature. Likewise, severely insufficient security on the Industrial IoT suffers from a lack of will. Neither tech buyers nor providers have yet invested the same effort expended in other areas of the tech world to create and adopt steps that will make everyone safer, according to chipmakers ... » read more

Smart Cities’ Head Start On The Mobility Future
By Andrew Macleod - 02 Aug, 2018 - Comments: 0

Even if autonomy is still mostly in the R&D, balky-science-project phase, vehicle connectivity is increasingly here today. And that’s good news since connected cars deliver a meaningful subset of the societal upside promised by their eventual fully autonomous future selves, especially when it comes to safety, traffic management and navigation. But beyond the dashboard, as the world become... » read more

5G Gets Closer To Commercialization
By Robert Vamosi - 02 Aug, 2018 - Comments: 0

Cellular carriers would like to have their new 5G networks up by the end of 2018 or early 2019. One problem: they need a set of standards to create the new technology. In June, tech representatives met and made significant first step for technology companies to start building out the necessary 5G chips and software. In La Jolla, California, the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) met f... » read more

The Importance Of An eFPGA’s Configuration Interfaces
By Volkan Oktem - 02 Aug, 2018 - Comments: 0

eFPGAs are heralded throughout the semiconductor industry for their flexibility and programmability, especially when it comes to high-performance compute applications. Let’s take a closer look at how an eFPGA is configured. Each instance of the eFPGA in an ASIC or SoC design must be configured after the system powers up because this eFPGA employs nonvolatile SRAM technology to store its co... » read more

Sandia Labs’ New Configurable SoC
By Geoff Tate - 02 Aug, 2018 - Comments: 0

At DAC 2018, held in June in San Francisco, Sandia Labs made a public presentation for the first time describing its first SoC using eFPGA, called Dragonfly. This is the first public disclosure by any organization describing its requirements, architecture and use cases for the new technology option of embedded FPGA. John Teifel led the project for Sandia National Laboratories. Sandia has ... » read more

When The IoT Really Works
By Dipesh Patel - 02 Aug, 2018 - Comments: 0

The IoT is a transformational tool for business. It gives them superpowers they never had before. This holds true whether it's an energy provider drawing data from its infrastructure to sense failures, a sensor-equipped building anticipating and then proactively dealing with occupants’ needs,  or a retailer using data streams from its stores and warehouses to streamline operations. ... » read more

Hardware Security Threat Rising
By Ed Sperling - 02 Aug, 2018 - Comments: 0

Martin Scott, senior vice president and CTO of Rambus, sat down with Semiconductor Engineering to talk about an increasing problem with security, what's driving it, and why hardware is now part of the growing attack surface. What follows are excerpts of that conversation. SE: With Meltdown and Spectre, the stakes have changed because the focus is not on using hardware to get to software. It'... » read more

How Vehicle Electrification Impacts Electrical System Design
By Mentor, a Siemens Business - 01 Aug, 2018 - Comments: 0

Autonomy and electrification are demanding significant changes to electrical and electronic architectures within vehicles. This is due in part to the introduction of high voltages, increased safety considerations and significant weight reductions needed to maximize vehicle range from electrification, and ‘fail operational’ designs, hugely increased data network loading and virtual validatio... » read more

Top 6 Application Security Hurdles And The Secret To Overcoming Them
By Synopsys - 01 Aug, 2018 - Comments: 0

Applications support some of the most strategic business processes and access an organization’s most sensitive data. These applications also contain 92% of reported security vulnerabilities, not networks. Yet application security continues to receive less budget and attention than network security. This means security-aware companies must find a cost-effective application security solution to... » read more
