Packaging Tradeoffs More Complex Than Ever
By Ed Sperling - 24 May, 2012 - Comments: 0

By Ann Steffora Mutschler Driven by high-speed interfaces, the demand for TSVs and the complexities that new process nodes bring, older packaging technologies like wirebonding can’t keep up. The latest and greatest flip chip technologies offer much more flexibility, but at a cost. As such, the package plays a larger role than ever in determining system specifications because, depending o... » read more

IaaS vs. SaaS
By Ed Sperling - 24 May, 2012 - Comments: 0

By Ann Steffora Mutschler There has been a lot of confusion about what kind of cloud-based service the EDA industry offers. Here are two different business models. Infrastructure as a service (IaaS) In this most basic cloud service model, cloud providers offer computers – as physical or more often as virtual machines, raw (block) storage, firewalls , load balancers, and networks. IaaS pr... » read more

EDA’s Cloudy Vision
By Ed Sperling - 24 May, 2012 - Comments: 0

By Ann Steffora Mutschler Since the dawn of EDA, the industry has largely operated under a traditional software distribution model whereby the customer would run the software it licensed on its own hardware equipment. With the sophistication of advanced IT management techniques as well as education surrounding “The Cloud,” it may be safe to predict that engineers in the not-to-distant futu... » read more

System-Level Models Redefined
By Ed Sperling - 24 May, 2012 - Comments: 0

By Ann Steffora Mutschler It wasn’t that long ago that the promise of system-level models was an easy implementation path and the ability to then reuse the models in a different design, for a different target application. But how reusable are those models in reality? The answer depends on whom you ask. First, it is important to define what a system-level model is, noted Frank Schirrmeiste... » read more

Which Software To Use?

By Achim Nohl big.LITTLE processing refers to the concept of combining a high-performance ARM Cortex-A15 MPCore processor along with an energy-efficient Cortex-A7 processor. There were two primary use models recently introduced by ARM for big.LITTLE processing: task migration and MP. The big.LITTLE task migration use model is where the applications migrate between one cluster and another based... » read more

Clearing Up Cloud-Based SoCs
By Frank Ferro - 24 May, 2012 - Comments: 0

By Frank Ferro With each passing month, the cloud is taking the semiconductor market by storm—just like it did in the enterprise years ago. Take nVidia’s recent Kepler GPU announcement for cloud computing. This device provides low-latency access to the cloud for gaming, giving gamers performance and access to the latest content without being tied to a game console. Another example is Appli... » read more

The Next Frontiers
By Ed Sperling - 24 May, 2012 - Comments: 0

One of the interesting things about technology is that, at least from the outside, it’s hard to tell what’s actually changing. That’s not true on the inside, of course, where radical shifts are under way. The next big push in smart phones will be much greater intelligence. In the iPhone, Siri was just the tip of the iceberg. Future versions are likely to be much more interesting. Add ... » read more
