Self-Driving Cars Rattle Supply Chain
By Ann Mutschler - 06 Apr, 2017 - Comments: 0

Automotive compute workloads are consolidating as carmakers push toward autonomous vehicles, but the changes necessary to make this all work are causing huge disruptions in an industry that has fine-tuned its supply chain over more than a century. Consolidation is essential for a variety of reasons, including efficiency of the computations, complexity management, and lower deployment costs. ... » read more

Blog Review: April 5

In a video, Cadence's Megha Daga digs into the different architectural layers present in convolutional neural networks and how they contribute to object detection and classification in a real world scenario. Mentor's Mike Santarini argues that as things become increasingly connected, the stakes of bad design and bad verification are higher than they've ever been. Synopsys' Robert Vamosi w... » read more

The Great Machine Learning Race
By Ed Sperling - 03 Apr, 2017 - Comments: 2

Processor makers, tools vendors, and packaging houses are racing to position themselves for a role in machine learning, despite the fact that no one is quite sure which architecture is best for this technology or what ultimately will be successful. Rather than dampen investments, the uncertainty is fueling a frenzy. Money is pouring in from all sides. According to a new Moor Insights report,... » read more
