Continuous Education For Engineers
By Brian Bailey - 29 Jul, 2021 - Comments: 0

Continuous education is essential for engineers, but many companies don't recognize the value or they are unwilling to provide the necessary resources. This should be a line of questioning before every new hire makes the decision about where they want to work, because it not only affects their future career, but also impacts the value they can provide to that company during the course of the... » read more

Week In Review: Auto, Security, Pervasive Computing
By SE Staff - 23 Jul, 2021 - Comments: 0

Security Xilinx is investing an undisclosed amount in fabless semiconductor startup Kameleon Security, which is working on a cyber protection chip for servers, data centers, and cloud computing. The proactive Security Processing Unit (ProSPU) already secures the boot and has a root of trust (RoT). The chip will be demonstrated at the Open Compute Project (OCP) Global Summit, which is planned f... » read more

New Power, Performance Options At The Edge
By Heidi Elliott - 21 Jul, 2021 - Comments: 0

Increasing compute intelligence at the edge is forcing chip architects to rethink how computing gets partitioned and prioritized, and what kinds of processing elements and memory configurations work best for a particular application. Sending raw data to the cloud for processing is both time- and resource-intensive, and it's often unnecessary because most of the data collected by a growing nu... » read more

Week In Review: Design, Low Power
By Jesse Allen - 09 Jul, 2021 - Comments: 0

Tools Aldec extended its TySOM family of embedded prototyping boards with the introduction of TySOM-M-MPFS250, the first in a planned series to feature a Microchip PolarFire SoC FPGA MPFS250T-FCG1152 and to have dual FMC connectivity. The board contains 16Gb FPGA DDR4 x32, 16Gb MSS DDR4 x36 with ECC, eMMC, SPI Flash memory, 64 Kb EEPROM and a microSD card socket. The PolarFire SoC is a five-st... » read more

For The Edge, It’s All About Location, Location, Location
By Eddie Ramirez - 08 Jul, 2021 - Comments: 0

They are centrally located, are connected to power grids and water systems, and are rapidly thinning out. And you can probably get a new cell phone case or a corn dog in the atrium. Could shopping malls become a future home for the edge? Edge computing has transformed over the last few years from being a vaguely defined concept to a fundamental part of the future data infrastructure. Band... » read more

Reducing Power Delivery Overhead
By Brian Bailey - 08 Jul, 2021 - Comments: 0

The power delivery network (PDN) is a necessary overhead that typically remains in the background — until it fails. For chip design teams, the big question is how close to the edge are they willing to push it? Or put differently, is the gain worth the pain? This question is being scrutinized in very small geometry designs, where margins can make a significant difference in device performan... » read more
