EDA, IP Sales Up
By Ed Sperling - 29 Sep, 2016 - Comments: 0

EDA and IP sales increased 5.6% in Q2 to $2.013 billion, up from $1.907 billion in the same period in 2015, according to the most recent Electronic System Design Alliance numbers. Asia/Pacific revenue increased 10.9% to $608.1 million; Japan increased 15.7% to $211.4 million. The Americas increased 4.4% to $908.4 million. The only region that showed a decline was Europe, the Middle East ... » read more

Moving Automotive Test Into The Analog Domain
By Steve Pateras - 29 Sep, 2016 - Comments: 0

The amount of electronic content in passenger cars continues to grow rapidly, driven mainly by the integration of various advanced safety features. The industry’s move towards fully autonomous vehicles promises to even further increase the number of these safety features and consequentially, the electronic content required in each vehicle. Recent reports indicate that hundreds of semicondu... » read more

Using Formal Verification To Prevent Catastrophic Security Breaches
By Dave Kelf - 29 Sep, 2016 - Comments: 0

The news of last week’s Yahoo hack that affected 500-million or so users sent shock waves of anxiety far and wide. It’s not clear yet how the massive data breach occurred or through what means the hackers accessed the network. It could be the chips that drive the network, often vulnerable to attacks on their operational integrity. It’s no surprise, then, that semiconductor companies ar... » read more

Building Chips That Can Learn
By Ed Sperling - 29 Sep, 2016 - Comments: 0

The idea that devices can learn optimal behavior rather than relying on more generalized hardware and software is driving a resurgence in artificial intelligence, machine leaning, and cognitive computing. But architecting, building and testing these kinds of systems will require broad changes that ultimately could impact the entire semiconductor ecosystem. Many of these changes are wel... » read more

Team Work

While I am not much of a golf player, I participated in a golf tournament over the summer. It was a very friendly setup with teams of four playing against each other. Each player of the team hits his ball, and the ball that lands in the best position determines the starting point for every one of the team for the next stroke. The fact that only the best shot of the team counts, definitely ma... » read more

TSMC OIP, Vertical Integration And The Power of Ecosystems
By Frank Schirrmeister - 29 Sep, 2016 - Comments: 0

After several attempts I’ve made it – my presentation at the TSMC OIP Ecosystem Forum was accepted this year. You may ask, what does a front-end guy like me do at a technology implementation forum like TSMC OIP? And why is he excited about it? The short answer is that it brings back my past. I am excited about how the front-end flows and implementation flows get connected in a closer way. I... » read more

Hypervisors: Help Or Hindrance?
By Brian Bailey - 29 Sep, 2016 - Comments: 0

Hypervisors are seeing an increased level of adoption, but do they help or hinder the development and verification process? The answer may depend on your perspective. In the hardware world, system-level integration is rapidly becoming a roadblock in the development process. While each of the pieces may be known to work separately, as soon as they are put together, the interactions between th... » read more

Rethinking Verification For Cars
By Ann Mutschler - 29 Sep, 2016 - Comments: 0

As the amount of electronic content in a car increases, so does the number of questions about how to improve reliability of those systems. Unlike an [getkc id="76" kc_name="IoT"] device, which is expected last a couple of years, automotive electronics fall into a class of safety-critical devices. There are standards for verifying these devices, new test methodologies, and there is far mo... » read more

Introduction To AXI Protocol
By Aldec - 29 Sep, 2016 - Comments: 0

By Brandon Wade When part of a team, your group can become more capable than a single individual, but only if your team can work together and communicate effectively. Having members of a group talk over each other leads to nothing but a cacophony, and nothing gets done. For this reason protocols need to be established, such as letting others speak without interruption, or facing those you ar... » read more

Do More, Earlier
By Jason Andrews - 29 Sep, 2016 - Comments: 0

The ARM Cortex-R52 processor is the most advanced processor for functional safety and the first implementation of the ARMv8-R architecture. Along with the announcement of the Cortex-R52, ARM offers a number of development tools to help partners speed up their path to market. This is especially helpful for a new architecture which highlights software separation for safety and security. This arti... » read more
