Architecture First, Node Second
By Ed Sperling - 15 Jun, 2017 - Comments: 0

What a difference a node makes. A couple of rather important changes have occurred in the move from 16/14 to 10/7nm (aside from more confusing naming conventions). First, companies that require more transistors—processor companies such as [getentity id="22846" e_name="Intel"], AMD, [getentity id="22306" comment="IBM"] and [getentity id="22676" e_name="Qualcomm"]—have come to grips with t... » read more

The Week In Review: Design
By Jesse Allen - 09 Jun, 2017 - Comments: 1

Tools Mentor added new tools to its high-level synthesis portfolio. The DesignChecks tool helps find bugs during coding with a static mode that performs very fast linting-like checks of the code and a formal mode that uses a formal engine for a more exhaustive proof of issues. The synthesis-aware Coverage tool measures code coverage for C++ signoff and fast closure of synthesized RTL. It sup... » read more

From SerDes Chiplets To Die-To-Die Interfaces
By Mohit Gupta - 08 Jun, 2017 - Comments: 0

The demand for ever faster high-speed interfaces has never been quite so pronounced. In our increasingly connected world, petabytes of data are continuously generated by a wide range of devices, systems and IoT endpoints such as vehicles, wearables, smartphones and even appliances. The resulting digital tsunami has prompted industry heavyweights like Google, Microsoft, Facebook and Amazon to co... » read more

Mentor's Matthew Balance checks out the abili... » read more

Security Issues Up With Heterogeneity
By Ann Mutschler - 05 Jun, 2017 - Comments: 0

The race toward heterogeneous designs is raising new security concerns across the semiconductor supply chain. There is more IP to track, more potential for unexpected interactions, and many more ways to steal data or IP. Security is a difficult problem no matter what kind of chip is involved, and it has been getting worse as more devices, machines and systems are connected to the Internet. B... » read more
