Driving Memory Beyond DDR4
By Frank Ferro - 09 Oct, 2014 - Comments: 0

While attending recent technology trade shows, the Intel Developer’s Forum (IDF) in August and last week’s ARM TechCon, I participated in many interesting discussions around server performance, power consumption, memory bandwidth and capacity. The race to introduce higher-performing servers that consume less power is fueled by the growing demand for new applications in the enterprise, commu... » read more

3 Big Bottlenecks For Design
By Ed Sperling - 09 Oct, 2014 - Comments: 0

Throughout the history of design for ICs, systems and software, bottlenecks emerge as one part of the design evolves more slowly than the next. It's frequently due to the fact that difficult engineering issues haven't been solved yet in one part of the design. Sometimes they can't be solved in a reasonable amount of time or for a reasonable amount of money and something else has to take its pla... » read more

Software Before Hardware?
By Ed Sperling - 09 Oct, 2014 - Comments: 0

The emphasis on battery life in wearable electronics, including always-on sensors, and the cost of powering and cooling racks of servers inside of data centers, are beginning to impact the formula for designing systems. Power is now a critical design element, but it's also one of the most stubborn to tackle. While ASICs, SoCs and FPGAs all have focused on being able to efficiently run softwa... » read more

One-On-One: Mike Muller
By Ed Sperling - 08 Oct, 2014 - Comments: 0

Semiconductor Engineering sat down with [getentity id="22186" comment="ARM"] CTO Mike Muller, who first coined the term 'dark silicon,' to talk about what's changing, why the company is focusing so heavily on software and security in addition to power, and how the [getkc id="76" comment="Internet of Things"] will change design and vice versa. What follows are excerpts of that conversation. S... » read more

An Introduction To The ARM mbed IoT Device Platform
By Arm - 08 Oct, 2014 - Comments: 0

The Internet of Things (IoT) is the collection of billions of end devices, from the low-power constrained end nodes to gateways, intelligently connected to cloud applications and services. Interoperability between devices and cloud services across market segments is needed to unleash the full potential of the IoT. The ARM Cortex-M processors family, the world’s leading 32-bit MCU which shi... » read more

Pushing The Performance Boundaries Of ARM Cortex-M Processors For Future Embedded Design
By Cadence - 08 Oct, 2014 - Comments: 0

One of the toughest challenges in the implementation of any processors is balancing the need for the highest performance with the conflicting demands for lowest possible power and area. Inevitably, there is a tradeoff between power, performance, and area (PPA). This paper examines two unique challenges for design automation methodologies in the new ARM Cortex-M processor: How to get maximum per... » read more

Advanced Architectures And Technologies For The Development Of Wearable Devices
By Arm - 02 Oct, 2014 - Comments: 0

One of the exciting new markets expected to see the biggest growth over the next few years is that of wearable devices. According to market research firm IHS, the worldwide market for wearable technology saw revenues of $8.5 billion in 2012 based on shipments of 96 million devices. The firm predicts future increases to $30 billion and 210 million by 2018. Today it is a largely embryonic market ... » read more

IoT Standards Needed
By Ed Sperling - 02 Oct, 2014 - Comments: 0

The promise of the [getkc id="76" comment="Internet of Things"] is effortless communication between devices, all of which are smart enough to transmit data to the Internet directly, or through connecting hubs, and to ad hoc devices that are authorized to be added to a personal or industrial network. What's not yet clear is how that promise will be realized. Even though many devices are desig... » read more

Blog Review: Oct. 1
By Ed Sperling - 01 Oct, 2014 - Comments: 0

Cadence's Richard Goering writes about a pair of IEEE working groups that are focused on standardizing ways to lower power of software and firmware. The importance of this effort is huge. Mentor's J. VanDomelen looks at the use of 3D printers in outer space. This is a new chapter in manufacturing custom parts in extreme environments. Synopsys' Mick Posner gets an unexpected answer to a ro... » read more
