Week In Review: Auto, Security, Pervasive Computing
By SE Staff - 20 Aug, 2021 - Comments: 0

Security Infineon Technologies is coordinating a group of twelve partners, including researchers, electronics industry, and end users, who are working to find and fix IoT security flaws. The research project, called “Design methods and hardware/software co-verification for the unique identifiability of electronic components” falls under VE-VIDES, which is part of the Trustworthy Electronic... » read more

Blog Review: Aug. 18

Arm's Charlotte Christopherson explores the possibilities of flexible, non-silicon electronics with the creation of PlasticArm, an ultra-minimalist Cortex-M0-based SoC that, even with just 128 bytes of RAM and 456 bytes of ROM, is twelve times more complex than previous flexible electronics. Cadence's Claire Ying highlights the importance of integrity and data encryption (IDE) technology for... » read more

The “Natively Flexible” Processor Has Arrived: Here’s What We Need To Make It Mainstream
By John Biggs - 12 Aug, 2021 - Comments: 0

The microprocessor is one of history’s pivotal inventions, ranking in influence with breakthroughs such as the wheel, the transistor, and the printing press. There is no escaping their popularity or usefulness either: with tens of billions of processors produced each year they have revolutionized industries such as health care, media, retail, transportation, and of course information manageme... » read more

Lowering Energy Per Bit
By Ann Mutschler - 12 Aug, 2021 - Comments: 0

Energy is emerging as a focal point in chip and system design, but solving energy-related issues needs to be dealt with on a much broader scale than design teams typically see. Energy is the amount of power consumed over a period of time to perform a given task, but reducing energy is a lot different than reducing power. It affects everything from operational costs and system performance to ... » read more

Post-Quantum Cryptography
By Arm - 11 Aug, 2021 - Comments: 0

Quantum computing is increasingly seen as a threat to communications security: rapid progress towards realizing practical quantum computers has drawn attention to the long understood potential of such machines to break fundamentals of contemporary cryptographic infrastructure. While this potential is so far firmly theoretical, the cryptography community is preparing for this possibility by deve... » read more

Blog Review: Aug. 11

Arm's Rahul Mathur finds that traditional interconnects have become a bottleneck for improving IC performance and suggests buried interconnects as a way to lower signal routing delay. Cadence's Paul McLellan checks out forksheet FETs, a new transistor type that could allow scaling past 3nm, and the interconnect advances that will need to accompany it. A Synopsys writer explains the new LP... » read more

Auto Displays: Bigger, Brighter, More Numerous
By Ann Mutschler - 05 Aug, 2021 - Comments: 0

Displays are rapidly becoming more critical to the central brains in automobiles, accelerating the adoption and evolution of this technology to handle multiple types of audio, visual, and other data traffic coming into and flowing throughout the vehicle. These changes are having a broad impact on the entire design-through-manufacturing flow for display chip architectures. In the past, these ... » read more

Blog Review: Aug. 4

Cadence's Paul McLellan listens in as industry luminaries celebrate 50 years of the microprocessor with a discussion on major challenges to the growth of microprocessors, inflection points over the last 50 years, and predictions for the next 25. Siemens EDA's Vladimir Kirichenko warns that designing electrical and thermal systems separately may lead to various problems such as late design ch... » read more

Designing Chips In A ‘Lawless’ Industry
By Ed Sperling - 02 Aug, 2021 - Comments: 2

The guideposts for designing chips are disappearing or becoming less relevant. While engineers today have many more options for customizing a design, they have little direction about what works best for specific applications or what the return on investment will be for those efforts. For chip architects, this is proving to be an embarrassment of riches. However, that design freedom comes wit... » read more

Sweeping Changes Ahead For Systems Design
By Ann Mutschler - 29 Jul, 2021 - Comments: 0

Data centers are undergoing a fundamental change, shifting from standard processing models to more data-centric approaches based upon customized hardware, less movement of data, and more pooling of resources. Driven by a flood of web searches, Bitcoin mining, video streaming, data centers are in a race to provide the most efficient and fastest processing possible. But because there are so ma... » read more
