Explosive Growth Ahead
By Ed Sperling - 27 Jul, 2017 - Comments: 1

Over the next five years, sales across the semiconductor supply chain will double from $2 trillion to $4 trillion, said Ajit Manocha, president and CEO of SEMI, during the opening presentation at Semicon West this month. These are gigantic numbers, and they reflect some massive shifts now underway across the semiconductor industry. Many chipmakers have been trying to figure out the next big ... » read more

Emulating Systems Of Systems
By Frank Schirrmeister - 27 Jul, 2017 - Comments: 0

System design is all the craze these days. I have been in notably more discussions recently about how one can verify systems of systems. Does an airplane or a car lend itself to an array of emulators? Are multiple abstractions needed? How can design teams span electrical, mechanical, and thermal—as well as analog and digital—effects? Do companies need to re-organize to deal with system desi... » read more

Achieving Separation On Multiprocessor SoCs For Enhanced Safety And Security
By Dan Driscoll - 27 Jul, 2017 - Comments: 0

As I read my colleague Andrew Caples’ article on The Blurring of Safety and Security for Embedded Devices, I immediately started to think of the Xilinx UltraScale+ MPSoC – as I have engaged with numerous customers about using this chip for both safety and security purposes, and the requirements for both areas are definitely starting to blur. I quickly realized a blog about the Xilinx... » read more

Improving VHDL
By Jim Lewis - 27 Jul, 2017 - Comments: 0

For the past several years, I have had the privilege to chair the IEEE 1076 VHDL working group. In March, we handed off the revisions to the VHDL LRM to our technical editor to finalize the document for balloting. As we are waiting for the standards process to finish up, I thought I would share my favorite new additions. Let me start with an executive summary: VHDL-2017 plus Open Source VHDL... » read more

And The Winners Are… 10 Formal Solutions To Einstein’s Riddle
By Sergio Marchese - 27 Jul, 2017 - Comments: 5

A few months back, OneSpin asked engineers to solve the classic Einstein’s Riddle using a formal tool. The challenge became hugely popular, and we received many outstanding solutions. To check out the riddle itself and the top 10 solutions created by leading engineers, click here. In this blog, we take another look at the riddle, review the best solutions and announce the winners. We ha... » read more

Reducing Latency In ADAS SoC Design Enhances QoS For Digital Mirroring
By Kurt Shuler - 27 Jul, 2017 - Comments: 0

The state-of-the-art of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) is quickly changing, and ADAS chip engineers are finding that on-chip quality-of-service (QoS) is becoming a system-level constraint on ADAS performance. Designers need innovative approaches to address these issues, which is why Dream Chip Technologies highlighted one such method in a recent presentation. Dream Chip Technologi... » read more

The Perfect (Silicon) Marriage… Yes, It Exists
By Rajesh Ramanujam - 27 Jul, 2017 - Comments: 0

Nope, this is not Dr. Phil masquerading as a tech blogger, trying to penetrate the semiconductor market. I am no Dr. Phil, but today, rather than expound on interconnect IP and how it relates to the various trends, applications, markets, etc., I would like to tell you a story about a relationship and share an experience with one of our customers, a leading manufacturer of autonomous systems. ... » read more

When A Lot May Not Be Enough
By Tom De Schutter - 27 Jul, 2017 - Comments: 0

For the last couple of months my son has been trying to save for a Nintendo Switch. The emphasis here is on “trying to.” The problem is that whenever he amasses enough money to buy something else, he tends to spend the money on a cheaper toy like a new Lego Dimensions figure. I guess that delayed gratification isn’t really a strength of my son. His assumption is that the best way to colle... » read more

Fast Models, Cycle Models
By Jason Andrews - 27 Jul, 2017 - Comments: 0

There has been a lot of coverage since the launch of new CPU and graphics cores at Computex 2017, including some information about early software development. The public announcement of new ARM IP is a milestone for ARM Models because it means we can now talk about available models and share additional information about the new IP. ARM Fast Models and Cycle Models enable virtual prototyping ... » read more

The Secret Life Of Accelerators
By Ed Sperling - 27 Jul, 2017 - Comments: 0

Accelerator chips increasingly are providing the performance boost that device scaling once provided, changing basic assumptions about how data moves within an electronic system and where it should be processed. To the outside world, little appears to have changed. But beneath the glossy exterior, and almost always hidden from view, accelerator chips are becoming an integral part of most des... » read more
