ML Apps Enable Tool Diagnostics
By Russell Dover - 20 Aug, 2020 - Comments: 0

Diagnosis of any kind requires the synthesis of information. As humans we are much better at doing this when we have ways of visualizing information versus looking at numbers and statistics, especially when the data represents something happening over time. Think of a GPS tracker that shows where you have walked in a day. The raw data are coordinates and time stamps. A map that shows you this i... » read more

Managing Worst Case Power Conditions
By Richard McPartland - 13 Aug, 2020 - Comments: 0

With each new technology node, especially FinFET, the dynamic conditions within a chip are changing and becoming more complex in terms of process speeds, thermal activity and supply variation. Dennard scaling brought about the ability for power to be scaled down with each successive node so that power per unit area stayed roughly constant. However, as highlighted by John Hennessy at last y... » read more

Considerations For 5G Production Test
By David Viera - 11 Aug, 2020 - Comments: 0

Like all technology advancements, bringing 5G to market requires an array of supporting tools to ensure the end products meet expectations. It will require significant performance advances in chip technology and manufacturing processes—all the while keeping price/performance at an economically viable level. Earlier this year, FormFactor’s Daniel Bock along with Jeff Damm outlined three c... » read more

Customer Input Guides Tool Development
By Marie Ryan - 11 Aug, 2020 - Comments: 0

We’re always looking for high-value items which add to our yield management software without over-complicating or detracting from the core functions. It is an interesting and highly responsible position to be able to take ideas and input from many people, look for common elements in problems and find solutions that can solve many problems. High-value functionality A great example of this ... » read more

Welcome To 6 Minutes Of Security
By Sergio Marchese - 06 Aug, 2020 - Comments: 0

Yet another blog on security! Oh, wait, this is hardware security – and trust. While secure hardware should be free from vulnerabilities in general, I use the term trust to refer to the belief that a semiconductor intellectual property (IP) or integrated circuit (IC) is free from malicious, intentionally inserted vulnerabilities. Hardware security is on the rise. The media is helping. ... » read more

Hardware Security: A Critical Piece Of The Cybersecurity Puzzle
By Andreas Kuehlmann - 06 Aug, 2020 - Comments: 0

Cybersecurity is a critical foundation of our rapidly expanding digital world spanning hardware and software that powers everything from our personal devices to the global infrastructure. Over the past decade, significant progress has been made in many security domains, especially in maturing secure software development processes. So far, hardware security has received limited attention, howeve... » read more

Performance Metrics For Convolutional Neural Network Accelerators
By Vinay Mehta - 06 Aug, 2020 - Comments: 0

Across the industry, there are few benchmarks that customers and potential end users can employ to evaluate an inference acceleration solution end-to-end. Early on in this space, the performance of an accelerator was measured as a single number: TOPs. However, the limitations of using a single number has been covered in detail in the past by previous blogs. Nevertheless, if the method of cal... » read more

When You Can’t Afford To Scrimp On System Reliability
By Christine Young - 06 Aug, 2020 - Comments: 0

Failure happens, whether we like it or not. What’s important is to be prepared for failure to occur, which involves putting in place measures that allow us to quickly address or resolve the problem. But not all failures are created equally. For example, a laptop that you use daily might experience occasional glitches. If it’s well-designed, you can simply reset the machine to get it back to... » read more

Linting RISC-V Designs
By Alex Gnusin - 30 Jul, 2020 - Comments: 0

As the open-source RISC-V instruction set architecture (ISA) continues to gain momentum, the growing number of RISC-V design solutions and their flexibility creates a problem when choosing the most reliable and robust solution from a number of contenders. Sure, a RISC-V IP design must be compliant to basic ISA standards and should contain a testing suite demonstrating that compliance. But sh... » read more

IP Integration Verification At DVClub Europe
By Saša Stamenković - 30 Jul, 2020 - Comments: 0

Most people involved in pre-silicon verification of digital designs and electronic design automation (EDA) know the folks at Test and Verification Solutions (T&VS – now acquired by Tessolve to offer a full VLSI and test service). Among other things, they organize the Verification Futures (VF) conference in the UK and the DVClub Europe meetings. These are highly technical events, with plen... » read more
