Week In Review: Auto, Security, Pervasive Computing
By SE Staff - 23 Oct, 2020 - Comments: 0

Automotive, automation General Motors is planning a third electric-vehicle plant. The former Saturn factory will make first fully electric Cadillac, in the former Saturn assembly line. Tesla is allowing some customers to beta test its Full Self-Driving (FSD), according to The Verge. The company pushed the software update to some early access customers to do some real world beta test. Some o... » read more

Rambus' Frank Ferro and IDC's Shane Rau compare the evolution of HBM and GDDR6, as well as the design tradeoffs and challenges of the two memory types. Mentor's Neil Johnson compares unit testing and formal property checking as first steps for verifying low-level RTL functionality. Synopsys' Patrick Carey considers the competing demands of delivering a product as soon as possible and maki... » read more

Slower Metal Bogs Down SoC Performance
By Bryon Moyer - 15 Oct, 2020 - Comments: 0

Metal interconnect delays are rising, offsetting some of the gains from faster transistors at each successive process node. Older architectures were born in a time when compute time was the limiter. But with interconnects increasingly viewed as the limiter on advanced nodes, there’s an opportunity to rethink how we build systems-on-chips (SoCs). ”Interconnect delay is a fundamental tr... » read more

Searching For Power Bugs
By Brian Bailey - 15 Oct, 2020 - Comments: 0

How much power is your design meant to consume while performing a particular function? For many designs, getting this right may separate success from failure, but knowing that right number is not as easy as it sounds. Significant gaps remain between what power analysis may predict and what silicon consumes. As fast as known gaps are closed, new challenges and demands are being placed on the ... » read more

Unleashing The World’s Technology Potential
By Simon Segars - 15 Oct, 2020 - Comments: 0

A year ago, as I prepared for my opening keynote at Arm TechCon, our biggest annual ecosystem gathering, we were already debating the event’s future focus. Complexity was driving new technology paths as we looked at how we’d engineer a global network of AI, IoT and 5G-driven devices from chip to cloud. We knew that dealing with that complexity would require fundamental changes in our techno... » read more

Confusion Grows Over Packaging And Scaling
By Ann Mutschler - 15 Oct, 2020 - Comments: 0

The push toward both multi-chip packaging and continued scaling of digital logic is creating confusion about how to classify designs, what design tools work best, and how to best improve productivity and meet design objectives. While the goals of design teams remains the same — better performance, lower power, lower cost — the choices often involve tradeoffs between design budgets and ho... » read more

Blog Review: Oct. 14
By Jesse Allen - 14 Oct, 2020 - Comments: 0

Arm's Hongsup Shin explains a machine learning application that can determine which tests are most likely to find hardware bugs, improving efficiency and reducing the number of tests that need to be run. Synopsys' Pieter van der Wolf and Dmitry Zakharov take a look at the increasing need for low power processors optimized for machine learning tasks as IoT, smart home, and wearable devices pr... » read more

Week In Review: Design, Low Power
