Compressing data in vehicles As the number of cameras in automobiles is on the rise with the move to autonomous vehicles, internal vehicle networks are being pushed to their limits from the flood of data. While special compression methods reduce the amount of video data, they also exhibit a high degree of latency for coding. But now, Fraunhofer researchers have adapted video compression in su... » read more

DAC’s Passageway To Design Infrastructure
By Bob Smith - 06 Feb, 2018 - Comments: 0

This year's Design Automation Conference will include an "alley" on the exhibit floor, but it won't be a dark, narrow passageway we think of when we hear "alley." Instead, the new Design Infrastructure Alley will be a well-illuminated tribute to the design technology infrastructure, a fundamental element for the creation and design of complex electronic systems and components. The Design Inf... » read more
