Hybrid Prototype Benefits
By Nithya Ruff - 31 Jan, 2013 - Comments: 0

By Troy Scott This month Nithya asked me to contribute a post on hybrid prototyping and add some color to how design teams have been benefiting from integration between virtual and FPGA-based prototypes. It’s been about six months since Synopsys announced the availability of a data exchange, which links a Virtualizer Development Kit (VDK) to the HAPS FPGA-based prototyping system based on AM... » read more

Experts Panel And Tutorial At DVCon
By Graham Bell - 31 Jan, 2013 - Comments: 0

Besides our usual exhibit at the Design and Verification Conference in Santa Clara at the end of next month, Real Intent has organized a panel and a half-day tutorial that highlights some of the changes happening in our industry—and which may have been overlooked. The panel addresses the interesting topic “Where Does Design End and Verification Begin?” The abstract states that design a... » read more

The CES Effect
By Frank Ferro - 31 Jan, 2013 - Comments: 0

By Frank Ferro CES draws a lot of attention. Everyone wants to be first to see the latest and greatest consumer products. If you don’t mind squeezing through the crowd, you can glimpse the startling picture quality of an OLED TV. Never mind viewing the quality of a 4K Ultra HDTV, at CES you can skip a generation and see what an 85” 8K UHDTV looks like. Talk about resolution! You also can e... » read more

Keep The Silos
By Jon McDonald - 31 Jan, 2013 - Comments: 0

By Jon McDonald I’ve had a couple of conversations recently in which software developers expressed that they have little interest in working with hardware or systems developers. The general sentiment seemed to be “when [a place commonly regarded as extremely hot] freezes over” they might consider it. Perhaps for those living in northern climates there may be a possibility of this freeze,... » read more

Changes In The Supply Chain
By Ed Sperling - 31 Jan, 2013 - Comments: 0

Runaway complexity in design, implementation, verification and manufacturing is being mirrored across an increasingly complex supply chain. Now the question is what to do about it. Complexity is being driven by the continued shrinking of feature sizes and the clamor for more functionality to leverage the real estate that becomes available with each new process node. But the increased density... » read more

Power Benefits Of Modular Interconnect Design Using Network-On-Chip Technology
By Various Writers - 31 Jan, 2013 - Comments: 0

The system-on-chip (SoC) interconnect spans the entire floorplan of a chip and consumes a significant portion of the power. The interconnects of today’s SoCs are a distributed architecture of switches, buffers, firewalls, register slices, and clock and power domain crossings. One approach is to implement these units modularly with a simple, universal transport protocol between all units. This... » read more

The Integrated IP Subsystem: A Converging SoC Solution
By Various Writers - 31 Jan, 2013 - Comments: 0

The consumer device market is witnessing incredible market space convergence between mobile handheld, automotive, and home electronics. IP vendors, engineers, and system design engineers face a multitude of challenges when designing and developing ICs, systems, or subsystems for the next great portable device. The next cell phone for instance, will not only be a multimedia player, but also a de... » read more

Managing Functional Verification Projects
By Various Writers - 31 Jan, 2013 - Comments: 0

The adoption of advanced verification languages and methodologies requires evolution of project management techniques in addition to the change in engineering practices. Managers must be able to assess and manage key project elements such as team expertise, verification methodology, verification IP (VIP) selection and environment setup to successfully deploy high-level verification environments... » read more

It’s The Data, Stupid!
By Frank Schirrmeister - 30 Jan, 2013 - Comments: 0

By Frank Schirrmeister January is prediction month! After writing my 10 year Look-Back on Technology last week, I attended an IDC briefing called “Riding the Momentum: IDC Software Predictions 2013.” IDC is looking at the IT world from four angles that they call four pillars: Cloud, Big Data/Analytics, Social Business and Mobility. In the opening presentation—called “In a Diverse Wo... » read more
