How To Speed Up Networking Design Verification
By Lauro Rizzatti - 10 Sep, 2015 - Comments: 0

The enormous growth of the Internet of things (IoT) has an enormous impact on network providers. After all, without the underlying network infrastructure, there would be no IoT. One consequence has been a significant increase in the number of Ethernet ports on networking devices. Today, Ethernet switches and routers reach 256 ports (by year’s end that number will increase to 1024 ports), a... » read more

Accelerating Networking Products To Market Using Ethernet VirtuaLAB
By Mentor, a Siemens Business - 09 Sep, 2015 - Comments: 0

A larger number of ports, expanding throughput, decreasing latency and overall improvement in security and ease-of-use are making today’s network switches and routers among the largest IC designs ever developed, reaching beyond a half billion gates. Verification of such complex IC designs, before silicon availability, is a daunting task. A fast, accurate, easy-to-use solution, VirtuaLAB bring... » read more

Can Cars Be Hack-Proof?
By Ann Mutschler - 03 Sep, 2015 - Comments: 0

Not many days go by when there isn't a news headline describing the latest hacking attempt — or success — of an automobile or automotive system. Malicious hacking has been around almost since the dawn of connected electronics, but it's happening with increasing sophistication in the automotive sector. Even high-end vehicles suffer security flaws that are too costly or not worthwhile to f... » read more

IoT’s 3 Big Demands On The Semiconductor Industry
By Anne Cirkel - 03 Sep, 2015 - Comments: 1

Sometime in the last decade or two, whenever you signed up for your first cell phone contract, you became an untethered node in the electronic data network. Of course no one was talking about IoT then, but the trend – machine-to-machine communication and basic computation, often independent of human input – was already well underway. (What else but an early instantiation of IoT was the hand... » read more

Securing The Car

"The bigger and more high tech a company is, the easier it is to use the front door." --Nomi, Sense8 As the quote above — from the Netflix sci-fi show Sense8 — reminds, as technology as infiltrated our lives as never before, ‘bad guys’ will try to get access to places we don’t want them to, and once they figure out how, it can be easy to cause a lot of damage by using the very sy... » read more

Internet Of Things Design Considerations For Embedded Connected Devices
By Mentor, a Siemens Business - 03 Sep, 2015 - Comments: 0

Embedded connectivity has been around since the early days of M2M. But what is new are the many complexities and emerging standards embedded system developers need to know if they are to design the latest IoT device. This paper delves into many of the key considerations developers need to know and discusses the critical areas of IoT security and connectivity along with the importance of a prove... » read more
