Big Changes Ahead For Connected Vehicles
By Ann Mutschler - 03 Jun, 2021 - Comments: 0

Carmakers are reworking their electronic architectures so they can tap into a growing number of external services and internal options, similar to the way a data center taps into various services over its internal network. In the past, this has been largely confined to internal services such as on-board Internet connectivity, and external traffic routing and music. The current vision is to g... » read more

The Case For FPGAs In Cars
By Bryon Moyer - 03 Jun, 2021 - Comments: 0

Field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) thrive in rapidly evolving new markets before being replaced by hard-wired ASICs, but in automotive that crossover is likely to happen significantly later than in the past. Historically, FPGAs have held temporary positions until volumes increased enough to cost-reduce the FPGAs out in favor of a hardened version. With automobiles, there are so many chan... » read more

System-on-Chip Architecture For Autonomous Driving Systems In Electric Vehicles
By Stewart Wiliams - 03 Jun, 2021 - Comments: 0

English inventor Thomas Parker introduced the first production electric car in 1884. Slower speeds and shorter ranges limited the electric cars of that era. By the early-to-mid 20th century, gas-powered cars were cheaper to operate, able to travel further and faster than their electric counterparts, and quickly rose to dominance. Since the early 2000s, Tesla has been a pioneer in reviving the e... » read more

The Good And Bad Of Auto IC Updates
By John Koon - 03 Jun, 2021 - Comments: 0

Keeping automobiles updated enough to avoid problems is becoming increasingly difficult as more complex electronics are added into vehicles, and as the lifetimes of those devices are extended to a decade or more. Modern vehicles are full of electronics. In fact, the value of electronic devices used in modern vehicles is expected to double in the next 10 years, growing to $469 billion by 2030... » read more

When It Makes Sense To Perform An Open Source Audit
By Synopsys - 02 Jun, 2021 - Comments: 0

Today's software is not created so much as assembled. The parts that serve as ingredients come from a variety of sources, but mostly from the millions of open source components freely available on the internet. This has enabled a digital transformation in several industries, helping market leaders speed their time to market, lower costs, and improve innovation. But what are the licensing and... » read more

Blog Review: June 2
By Jesse Allen - 02 Jun, 2021 - Comments: 0

Synopsys' Mike Borza checks out how automotive ECUs, infotainment systems, and in-vehicle networks can be compromised by attackers and why it’s important to follow cybersecurity best practices and keep security in mind starting early in the design cycle. Cadence's Paul McLellan checks out the results from the latest MLPerf benchmarks for machine learning inference systems, with the new inc... » read more

Week In Review: Design, Low Power
By Jesse Allen - 28 May, 2021 - Comments: 0

Valens Semiconductor will become a publicly traded company on NYSE as VLN after a merger with PTK Acquisition Corp. Valens provides long-reach, high-speed video and data transmission for the audio-video and automotive industries. The transaction is expected to provide proceeds of approximately $240 million, including up to $115 million in trust from PTK Acquisition Corp. (assuming no redemption... » read more

Week In Review: Auto, Security, Pervasive Computing
By SE Staff - 28 May, 2021 - Comments: 0

Pervasive computing — IoT, edge, cloud, data center, and back Cadence announced it has found a cost-conscience way to scale capacity for 3D electromagnetic (EM) simulations using a hybrid cloud consisting of local computing resources and cloud services from Amazon Web Service (AWS). Data stays safe on the local resources, and, if more computing resources are needed, encrypted simulation-spec... » read more

AI Testing: Pushing Beyond DFT Architectures
By Rahul Singhal - 27 May, 2021 - Comments: 0

Every day, more applications are deploying artificial intelligence (AI) system to increase automation beyond traditional systems. The continuous growth in computing demands of AI systems require designers to develop massive, highly parallel AI processor chips. Their large sizes and types of applications have a significant impact on their design and test methodologies. With thousands of repeated... » read more

Do We Have An IC Model Crisis?
By Brian Bailey - 27 May, 2021 - Comments: 0

Models are critical for IC design. Without them, it's impossible to perform analysis, which in turn limits optimizations. Those optimizations are especially important as semiconductors become more heterogenous, more customized, and as they are integrated into larger systems, creating a need for higher-accuracy models that require massive compute power to develop. But those factors, and other... » read more
