Virtual Reality Evolves Virtually
By Freddi Jeffries - 02 Feb, 2017 - Comments: 0

In 2016 we saw Virtual Reality hit the headlines all over again with a brand new wave of devices, applications and improvements on previous incarnations. With devices now shipping across dozens of manufacturers, price points and levels, it’s time to look at what happens next. We have of course discussed all the worthy, world changing applications of VR for healthcare, education and so on, ... » read more

Data Storage Issues Grow For Cars
By Ann Mutschler - 02 Feb, 2017 - Comments: 0

Adding safety features into cars and making them increasingly autonomous are rapidly creating a big data problem. More sensors produce more data, which has to be processed, moved, and ultimately stored somewhere in those vehicles. Exactly how that will be achieved isn't quite clear yet. However, there is plenty of discussion on that topic—and for good reason. A new 2017 car will genera... » read more

Software Modeling Goes Mainstream
By Ed Sperling - 01 Feb, 2017 - Comments: 0

Software modeling is finally beginning to catch on across a wide swath of chipmakers as they look beyond device scaling to improve performance, lower power, and ratchet up security. Software modeling in the semiconductor industry historically has been associated with hardware-software co-design, which has grown in fits and starts since the late 1990s. The largest chipmakers and systems compa... » read more

Hybrid Simulation Picks Up Steam
By Ann Mutschler - 26 Jan, 2017 - Comments: 0

As electronic products shift from hardware-centric to software-directed, design teams are relying increasingly on a simulation approach that includes multiple engines—and different ways to use those engines—to encompass as much of the system as possible. How engineers go about using these approaches, and even how they define them, varies greatly from one company to the next. Sometimes it... » read more

Choosing Power-Saving Techniques
By Ann Mutschler - 16 Jan, 2017 - Comments: 1

Engineers have come up with a long list of ways to save power in chip and system designs, but there are few rules to determine which approaches work best for any given design. There is widespread confusion about what techniques should be used where, which IP or subsystem is best, and how everything should be packaged together. The choices include everything from the proper level of clock and... » read more
