CDNLive 2019: The Verification Ecosystem Is Growing Stronger And Stronger
By Frank Schirrmeister - 25 Apr, 2019 - Comments: 0

Ecosystems are not only fascinating when it comes to processors like Arm, MIPS, x86, and RISC-V (as I have written before) or for semiconductor technologies like TSMC, GLOBALFOUNDRIES, and Samsung; they are key for success in verification as well. CDNLive Silicon Valley was, again, a great example of the verification ecosystem in action. It showcased the different engines verification tools run... » read more

All Security Issues Are Safety Issues
By Aileen Ryan - 25 Apr, 2019 - Comments: 0

Last month I spoke at the IQPC Safety and Security week event in Munich. It became clear to me that our semiconductor community is really paying attention to these issues now, not just to comply with standards, and not just because of the potential liability – but because it simply makes good business sense. The cost of recalling a single vehicle is estimated to be between $400 and $900 ... » read more

Verification At 7/5nm
By Ed Sperling - 25 Apr, 2019 - Comments: 0

Christen Decoin, senior director of business development at Synopsys, talks about what’s missing in verification, how is that affected by complex chips such as 7nm SoCs or AI chips, and why more steps need to be done concurrently. https://youtu.be/bz6KyJh67sI » read more

IC Design: Preparing For The Next Node
By Mentor, a Siemens Business - 25 Apr, 2019 - Comments: 0

The challenges of preparing for the next process node require constant preparation by the foundries, the EDA industry, and the design companies. Learn how Mentor works to prepare the Calibre nmPlatform for each “next node,” and ensure that its customers have the tools and performance they need to succeed.

The Case For Embedded FPGAs Strengthens And Widens
By Brian Bailey - 25 Apr, 2019 - Comments: 2

The embedded FPGA, an IP core integrated into an ASIC or SoC, is winning converts. System architects are starting to see the benefits of eFPGAs, which offer the flexibility of programmable logic without the cost of FPGAs. Programmable logic is especially appealing for accelerating machine learning applications that need frequent updates. An eFPGA can provide some architects the cover they ne... » read more

Automotive Functional Safety Using LBIST and Other Detection Methods
By Cadence - 24 Apr, 2019 - Comments: 0

Functional safety requirements for safety-critical applications are addressed with the insertion of safety mechanisms to detect and/or correct potential failures: their effectiveness is measured by diagnostic coverage (DC). Built-in-self-test, or BIST, originally developed for manufacturing test, can be used as a detection mechanism for functional safety. However, it requires original values to... » read more

Redefining Expectations for Test
By Synopsys - 24 Apr, 2019 - Comments: 0

New and rapidly expanding applications, such as artificial intelligence and automotive, are increasing in design size and complexity. These evolving market segments require unprecedented levels of quality and long-term reliability, which has created a fundamental shift in both the importance and need for integration of advanced semiconductor test. Synopsys unveiled a new family of test products... » read more

SLX Multi-Objective Optimization (MOPT)
By Silexica - 24 Apr, 2019 - Comments: 0

Technologies such as autonomous cars and 5G communication are seeing a rapid increase in the number of processing elements (PE) per platform. Where software professionals were used to programming one, two or a handful of cores, the game has now changed. Intel’s Many Integrated Core Architecture [3] contains up to 78 cores, Nvidia Tegra XI[2] has up to 260 cores and Adapteva’s Epiphany-V[1] ... » read more

Blog Review: April 24
By Jesse Allen - 24 Apr, 2019 - Comments: 0

Rambus' Steven Woo checks out changes in the hardware used for neural network training and the importance of co-design of hardware and software. Cadence's Meera Collier makes an argument for why vehicle sensors watching the driver could prevent some distraction and fatigue-related crashes. Synopsys' Dan Lyon and Garrett Sipple point to some best practices for how to deal with a changing t... » read more

Safety-Critical Coverage
By Ed Sperling - 24 Apr, 2019 - Comments: 0

Dave Landoll, solutions architect at OneSpin Solutions, discusses verification in safety-critical designs, why it’s more of a challenge in automotive than in avionics, and why verification of these systems includes what the system should not be doing as well as what it should be doing. https://youtu.be/Ze3WwEARfx0 » read more
