Week In Review: Design, Low Power
By Jesse Allen - 13 Jan, 2023 - Comments: 0

With funding from the Semiconductor Research Corporation, a group of 10 universities is banding together to create the Processing with Intelligent Storage and Memory center, or PRISM, led by University of California San Diego. The $50.5 million PRISM center will focus on four different themes: novel memory and storage devices and circuits; next generation architectures; systems and software; an... » read more

Design And Verification Methodologies Breaking Down
By Brian Bailey - 12 Jan, 2023 - Comments: 0

Tools, methodologies and flows that have been in place since the dawn of semiconductor design are breaking down, but this time there isn't a large pool of researchers coming up with potential solutions. The industry is on its own to formulate those ideas, and that will take a lot of cooperation between EDA companies, fabs, and designers, which has not been their strong point in the past. It ... » read more

Will Floating Point 8 Solve AI/ML Overhead?
By Karen Heyman - 12 Jan, 2023 - Comments: 2

While the media buzzes about the Turing Test-busting results of ChatGPT, engineers are focused on the hardware challenges of running large language models and other deep learning networks. High on the ML punch list is how to run models more efficiently using less power, especially in critical applications like self-driving vehicles where latency becomes a matter of life or death. AI already ... » read more

Easing The CFD Engineer’s Life With Automated Meshing
By Veena Parthan - 12 Jan, 2023 - Comments: 0

Mesh generation is where the user’s expertise and ingenuity can influence the convergence and accuracy of a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) solution by selecting mesh type, topology, and cell quality. But with the rush to automate mesh generation, will the control be ripped out of the user’s hand, or will a valuable engineering skill be lost? The extent to which meshing can be automated... » read more

A technical paper titled "A Systematic Method to Generate Effective STLs for the In-Field Test of CAN Bus Controllers" was published by Delft University of Technology, Cadence, and Politecnico di Torino. Abstract "In order to match the strict reliability requirements mandated by regulations and standards adopted in the automotive sector, as well as other domains where safety is a major conc... » read more

Week In Review: Auto, Security, Pervasive Computing
By Susan Rambo - 06 Jan, 2023 - Comments: 0

This was a tough week for cybersecurity. Chinese researchers claim to have figured out a way to crack some of the most advanced security algorithms with only 372 physical qubits, versus millions of qubits as previously theorized. This can be used to both speed up quantum decryption and to create large integers that can withstand future attacks. If it proves out, that approach would significantl... » read more

Shifting Toward Software-Defined Vehicles
By John Koon - 05 Jan, 2023 - Comments: 0

Apple reportedly is developing a software-defined vehicle. But so are Renault, Hyundai, General Motors, and just about everyone else. Some of the benefits of SDVs include increased comfort, convenience, safety, reliability, and remote software and firmware updates. Preventive and predictive maintenance, and remote diagnostics, can be done more conveniently over the air, while vehicle behavio... » read more

Software-Defined Vehicles: The Automotive Revolution With Silicon At Its Heart
By Ben Gu - 05 Jan, 2023 - Comments: 0

The automotive sector is undergoing immense change. The retirement of the internal combustion engine (ICE) in favor of electrified powertrains and a shift towards autonomy has provided carmakers the opportunity to reimagine and redefine the entire automotive experience: how a car looks, works, and behaves, from the tires up. But such change isn’t easy. An industry founded on the manufactur... » read more

Competing V2V Technologies Emerge, Create Confusion
By John Koon - 05 Jan, 2023 - Comments: 0

The battle over vehicle-to-vehicle communications technology has begun, as governments step back to see which of two main competing standards and lots of related technology are best suited for reducing accidents. V2V is an often-discussed wireless communication protocol that enables vehicles to communicate with each other, easing traffic congestion, avoiding accidents, and ultimately improvi... » read more
