Debugging Performance Issues With Qt-based UI Applications
By Mentor, a Siemens Business - 03 Dec, 2014 - Comments: 0

Interactive user interfaces (UI) are fast becoming a basic requirement in many embedded applications and Qt is a popular cross-platform application and framework to help develop such compelling UIs. As with any software application, embedded UI development also requires numerous debugging iterations to achieve the level of desired performance (e.g. non-laggy response etc.) This whitepaper walks... » read more

Born and raised in Germany, Thanksgiving is not really “my” holiday but I am very appreciative of it. It is wonderful how everyone comes together and reflects on what they are grateful for. In my role as DAC general chair this year, there are many additional things that come to mind. First, the larger semiconductor industry is enjoying robust growth, which translates into increased demand f... » read more

Week 24: Now The Review Work Begins
By Anne Cirkel - 21 Nov, 2014 - Comments: 0

At least here in the United States, with next week’s Thanksgiving holiday and Christmas decorations already appearing in stores, there’s a sense that vacation season is around the corner. In contrast, on the technical program committee, we’re gearing up for real work, which in many ways is just now beginning. The deadline for invited content to DAC was last week and now we are in full thr... » read more

Something Old, Something New
By Ed Sperling - 20 Nov, 2014 - Comments: 0

Sooner or later, everything comes back into vogue. There are only so many permutations of fashion, architecture and other designs, and eventually something has to be recycled, even if it's an antique. Technology is no different than fashion. In the late 1990s, when governments and banks were preparing for the Y2K problem, people with knowledge of assembly code were in extremely high demand b... » read more

Conflicting Needs For IoT Edge Designs
By Ed Sperling - 20 Nov, 2014 - Comments: 1

The mad rush has begun to hype the [getkc id="76" comment="Internet of Things"], but the path forward isn't quite as straightforward as the marketers would like it to be. ICs used at the edge of the IoT—the ones that gather information to be controlled by smart phones or tablets and transmitted to devices for processing and data analytics—need to be designed differently than the initial for... » read more

Measuring Verification Accuracy
By Ann Mutschler - 20 Nov, 2014 - Comments: 0

[getkc id="10" kc_name="Verification"] is the unbounded challenge that continues to confound engineering teams across the globe, who want to know when "enough" is "good enough" to proceed to tapeout. The answer is not straightforward, and it includes more variables than in the past, particularly around power.
