Leveraging The Past
By Ed Sperling - 28 Jun, 2012 - Comments: 0

By Ann Steffora Mutschler It’s easy to forget that not every design today is targeted at 20nm, given the amount of focus put on the bleeding edge of technology. But in fact a large number of designs utilize the stability and reliability of older manufacturing nodes, as well as lower mask costs, by incorporating new design and verification techniques, with 2.5D designs being a prime example. ... » read more

The Trouble With Models
By Ed Sperling - 28 Jun, 2012 - Comments: 0

By Ann Steffora Mutschler Models and modeling concepts seem to be on the tip of every tongue these days. Once the promise of sparking true ESL design, the use of system-level models has settled into something more like enabling software development. There is also talk of leveraging models across the supply chain, but is this really possible yet? The concept of doing this incremental refinem... » read more

The high-volume manufacturing will kick off with ST-Ericsson’s ARM-based 2... » read more

Low Power Everywhere
By Kiran Vittal - 14 Jun, 2012 - Comments: 0

By Kiran Vittal School is over for my kids and the summer holidays are here. We are planning to make minor modifications to our home, which includes installation of recessed lights. LED light bulbs are all over the place in home appliance stores and they claim 85% savings in energy costs with a life span of 50,000 hours. The cost of these LED bulbs is five to six times the cost of your average... » read more

Roundtable: DAC Retrospective
By Ed Sperling - 13 Jun, 2012 - Comments: 0

Is DAC really a design automation conference, or has it shifted to a design enablement conference due to rising complexity breaking down traditional barriers and silos? Low Power High Performance Engineering talks with Atrenta CTO Bernard Murphy about the changes. [youtube vid=Z_xBaRsC_Hs] » read more

Which Software To Use?
By Achim Nohl - 24 May, 2012 - Comments: 0

By Achim Nohl big.LITTLE processing refers to the concept of combining a high-performance ARM Cortex-A15 MPCore processor along with an energy-efficient Cortex-A7 processor. There were two primary use models recently introduced by ARM for big.LITTLE processing: task migration and MP. The big.LITTLE task migration use model is where the applications migrate between one cluster and another based... » read more
