Semiconductors And The Climate Curve
By Rob Aitken - 13 Aug, 2020 - Comments: 0

On July 22 I participated in a panel at the virtual SEMICON West conference called “Bending the Climate Curve: Enabling Sustainable Growth of Big Data, AI, and Cloud Computing.” Virtual conferences are mandatory these days, but give a different experience than physical ones. They are very good at disseminating information and are reasonably effective at networking. But, in my experience... » read more

An Introduction To The ARMv8-M Architecture
By Arm - 12 Aug, 2020 - Comments: 0

The ARMv8-M architecture is used for the next-generation ARMv8-M processor family of real-time deterministic embedded processors. It is aimed at low cost deeply embedded systems, where low-latency interrupt processing is vital. The ARMv8-M architecture reduces the complexity of developing secure embedded solutions that scale all the way from the smallest IoT device to complex SoCs. ARM uses ... » read more

It is reportedly among the ten largest Chinese chipmakers, according to EqualOcean. Terms of the deal were not disclosed. Based in Garbsen, Germany, Dream Chip Technologies originally was founded in ... » read more

Accellera Tackles Functional Safety
By Paul McLellan - 06 Aug, 2020 - Comments: 0

During DAC, Accellera had a workshop about functional safety. In case you don't know, Accellera has a relatively new working group (WG) on Functional Safety. The chair is Cadence's Alessandra Nardi, who coincidentally also received the Marie Pistilli Award for Women in EDA during DAC (you can read more about that in my post Alessandra Nardi Receives Marie Pistilli Award for Women in EDA). But ... » read more
