Domain Expertise Becoming Essential For Analytics
By Ed Sperling - 12 Mar, 2019 - Comments: 0

Sensors are being added into everything, from end devices to the equipment used to make those sensors, but the data being generated has limited or no value unless it's accompanied by domain expertise. There are two main problems. One is how and where to process the vast amount of data being generated. Chip and system architectures are being revamped to pre-process more of that data closer to... » read more

How To Build An Automotive Chip
By Ann Mutschler - 07 Mar, 2019 - Comments: 0

The introduction of advanced electronics into automotive design is causing massive disruption in a supply chain that, until very recently, hummed along like a finely tuned sports car. The rapid push toward autonomous driving has changed everything. This year, Level 3 autonomy will begin hitting the streets, and behind the scenes, work is underway to design SoCs for Level 4. But how these chi... » read more

Next Wave Of Security For IIoT
By Kevin Fogarty and Ed Sperling - 07 Mar, 2019 - Comments: 0

A rush of new products and services promise to make the famously un-secured Industrial IoT (IIoT) substantially more secure in the near future. Although the semiconductor industry has been churning out a variety of security-related products and concepts, ranging from root of trust approaches to crypto processors and physically unclonable functions, most IIoT operations have been slow to adop... » read more

Don’t Have A Meltdown Over A Spectre In Your SoC
By Anders Nordstrom - 07 Mar, 2019 - Comments: 0

You may be concerned about last year’s widely published Spectre and Meltdown vulnerabilities affecting most processors. Are your phone and computer OK? Or more importantly, if you are designing or verifying a System on Chip (SoC), do you have a specter in your design? Let’s first look at what these two vulnerabilities are and how they may be affecting your system. Both vulnerabilitie... » read more

The Other Side Of Makimoto’s Wave
By Ann Mutschler - 06 Mar, 2019 - Comments: 0

Custom hardware is undergoing a huge resurgence across a variety of new applications, pushing the semiconductor industry to the other side of Makimoto's Wave. Tsugio Makimoto, the technologist who identified the chip industry’s 10-year cyclical swings between standardization and customization, predicted there always will be room in ASICs for general-purpose processors. But it's becoming mo... » read more

Enterprise or Open Source: Which SAST Tool Is Right for You?
By Synopsys - 06 Mar, 2019 - Comments: 0

Static application security testing (SAST) is an essential part of any secure development workflow. But not all SAST tools are created equal. It’s crucial that you weigh your options carefully when choosing a SAST tool to avoid unnecessary costs in the future. This white paper compares open source and enterprise SAST solutions and provides relevant information to help you select the option th... » read more
