By Brian Fuller - 10 Nov, 2017 - Comments: 0

We’re almost inured these days to cybercrime—the frequency of the hacks, the incomprehensible scale of compromised accounts, their contents vulture-pecked clean. It’s estimated that cybercrime steals half a trillion dollars each year from the global economy. Much of this is enabled by us as users, succumbing to phishing attacks and just being lazy about good password hygiene. The cybe... » read more

Effective Management Of System Designs
By Ranjit Adhikary - 08 Nov, 2017 - Comments: 0

With the advent of the Internet-of-Things (IoT), system designs are slowly but surely becoming more complex. They now use heterogeneous architectures both on the System-on-Chip (SoC) and within a package. These systems typically have multiple different CPU cores, hardware accelerators, memories, network-on-chip (NoC) fabrics and numerous peripheral interfaces. Now, add to this the complexiti... » read more
