Power Management Techniques For Smart Grid Devices
By Mentor, a Siemens Business - 08 Oct, 2015 - Comments: 0

Energy efficiency is a top concern among developers building connected devices for the smart grid. Initially, the application-centric approach to building a device was used. But today, with sophisticated hardware power management features available on most modern processors, this is no longer the case. What’s needed is an OS-level approach that allows developers to take advantage of the full ... » read more

Exploring System Architectures For Data-Intensive Applications
By Steven Woo - 08 Oct, 2015 - Comments: 0

The exponential growth of digital data is being driven by a number of factors, including the burgeoning Internet of Things (IoT) and an increased reliance on complex analytics extracted from extremely large data sets. Perhaps not surprisingly, IDC analysts see digital data doubling roughly every two years. This dramatic growth continues to challenge, and in some cases, even outpace industry cap... » read more

Security Made Easier

The FIDO (Fast IDentity Online) Alliance was formed in July 2012 to address the lack of interoperability among strong authentication devices as well as the problems users face with creating and remembering multiple usernames and passwords. The FIDO Alliance’s mission is to change the landscape of authentication by eliminating the reliance on passwords. This is accomplished by developing speci... » read more

Ideal Memory IP For IoT Applications
By Bernd Stamme - 08 Oct, 2015 - Comments: 0

The endless possibilities for IoT applications are driving a new wave of imaginative thinking, and for good reason. Recent surveys estimate the number of IoT devices by 2020 will be in the 50 billion units range. The numbers are far too high to ignore and, hence, we have entered a new era of imaginative and creative thinking! To put this in perspective, IoT applications are growing many time... » read more

Metrics For Measuring Performance And Power In IoT SoC Designs
By Emerson Hsiao - 08 Oct, 2015 - Comments: 0

The problem confronting chip designers developing IoT SoCs is the need for high compute performance and low power consumption. This is especially true for SoCs being developed for devices required to operate for years on a battery. One example is the new generation of electronic shelf label (ESL) with a requirement of five years. The ESL receives central server pricing updates along with a f... » read more

The Danger Of Denial
By Ernest Worthman - 08 Oct, 2015 - Comments: 0

For years now, my diehard Mac-lover friends and this diehard PC fan have bantered back and forth about the superiority of one processor over the other. When Apple switched to the Intel platform in the late 2000s the argument went moot. I was right, they were wrong. PC’s were the best computers. Since then, the arguments about which platform is better have died off. They both do the job, a... » read more

Rolling Out Automotive Security
By Ann Mutschler - 08 Oct, 2015 - Comments: 0

The automotive world has traditionally been a secretive place as automakers made it their mission to hold design plans as close to their vests as possible. With complexity in the automotive design process, that tradition has been changing as automakers work ever more closely with their ecosystem. In one example, Adam Sherer, product management group director for automotive safety in the S... » read more

A Primer For The 802.XX Physical Layer
By Ernest Worthman - 07 Oct, 2015 - Comments: 0

This is the second installment of the 802.XX for the IoE series of articles. The first one was published in the August issue and addressed the Media Access Control (MAC) layer. In this article, we will examine the elements of the physical (PHY) layer of the 802.11 protocol stack. For reference, the protocol stack is shown in figure 1. The best designs, like everything else, are built on a so... » read more

Moving From Engineering To Management Or Staying On The Technical Track
By Michel Courtoy - 14 Sep, 2015 - Comments: 0

In the “Mad Men” days, companies adhered to a strict organizational hierarchy. Employees were either line or staff. Generally, line meant that an employee was on the management track and headed for a corporate executive position, sometimes called C-level or C-suite. Staff meant a place on the technical track with little opportunity for advancement. Today’s corporate environment no long... » read more
