Week In Review: Design, Low Power
By Jesse Allen - 24 Sep, 2021 - Comments: 0

U.S. government officials met with semiconductor industry companies and automakers to request supply chain information it hopes could address the current semiconductor shortage, Reuters reports. Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo hopes the information will enable them and industry to "get more granular into the bottlenecks and then ultimately predict challenges before they happen," but also wa... » read more

Automotive Cadence announced its new platform for speeding up the creation of virtual and hybrid prototypes of complex systems, such as those found in automotive systems. The Cadence Helium Virtual and Hybrid Studio enables teams to verify embedded software and firmware on virtual and hybrid configurations before the RTL is ready, in systems where software and hardware need to be created simul... » read more

Optimization Driving Changes In Microarchitectures
By Ann Mutschler - 23 Sep, 2021 - Comments: 0

The semiconductor ecosystem is at a turning point for how to best architect the CPU based on the explosion of data, the increased usage of AI, and the need for differentiation and customization in leading-edge applications. In the past, much of this would have been accomplished by moving to the next process node. But with the benefits from scaling diminishing at each new node, the focus is s... » read more

Hyper-Convergence Is The New Normal For Digital Implementation
By Yudhan Rajoo - 23 Sep, 2021 - Comments: 0

The era of smart-everything has led to a surge in the need for semiconductor devices across a myriad of traditional and novel applications. These applications demand high performance yet energy-efficient compute over blazing-fast networks to service trillions of edge devices that are constantly consuming and generating large amounts of data. This surge has invigorated system architects to innov... » read more

Data Tsunami Pushes Boundaries Of IC Interconnects
By Ann Mutschler - 22 Sep, 2021 - Comments: 0

Rapid increases in machine-generated data are fueling demand for higher-performance multi-core computing, forcing design teams to rethink the movement of data on-chip, off-chip, and between chips in a package. In the past, this was largely handled by the on-chip interconnects, which often were a secondary consideration in the design. But with the rising volumes of data in markets ranging fro... » read more

Blog Review: Sept. 22
By Jesse Allen - 22 Sep, 2021 - Comments: 0

Ansys' Tyler Ferris describes some of the many ways electronics on a PCB assembly can fail, from component level failures like wirebond breaking and liftoff to board-level failures such as conductive anodic filament failure. Cadence's Paul McLellan considers the switch from low-speed parallel interfaces to high-speed serial interfaces as one of the key advancements making modern data centers... » read more
