Customizing Power And Performance
By Ed Sperling - 08 Feb, 2018 - Comments: 0

Designing chips is getting more difficult, and not just for the obvious technical reasons. The bigger issue revolves around what these chips going to be used for-and how will they be used, both by the end user and in the context of other electronics. This was a pretty simple decision when hardware was developed somewhat independently of software, such as in the PC era. Technology generally d... » read more

Bridging Machine Learning’s Divide
By Brian Bailey - 08 Feb, 2018 - Comments: 0

There is a growing divide between those researching [getkc id="305" comment="machine learning"] (ML) in the cloud and those trying to perform inferencing using limited resources and power budgets. Researchers are using the most cost-effective hardware available to them, which happens to be GPUs filled with floating point arithmetic units. But this is an untenable solution for embedded infere... » read more

Walk A Mile In Their Shoes
By Judy Davies - 05 Feb, 2018 - Comments: 0

To most of us, when we think about how artificial intelligence (AI) enhances our mobility, the most top-of-mind examples might be how our smart phones respond to voice commands when we ask for directions to the nearest coffee shop or the current weather at the location to which we’re heading. But for people missing limbs, AI has the potential to give them the mobility that they might never ha... » read more

A recent report claims the United States Navy plans to expand its Consolidated Afloat Networks and Enterprise Services ocean combat network (CANES) with Artificial Intelligence, connecting ships, submarines and on-shore naval stations. This news confirms that AI is reshaping the world we live in and opening opportunities in commercial and industrial systems applications that range from autonomo... » read more

Dawn Of The Data-Centric Era
By Lara Chamness - 31 Jan, 2018 - Comments: 0

A recurring theme of the recent Industry Strategy Symposium (ISS) in Half Moon Bay, California, was how the explosion of new applications such as autonomous vehicles, digital healthcare, quantum computing, and crytocurrency mining are driving the need for more industry-wide collaboration to enable companies to compete in the “Data Centric” era. The resulting digital economy is creating unpr... » read more

The startup offers Internet of Things device developers the capability to add cybersecurity features to those devices after they’re deployed. VDOO was founded last year in Israel by Netanel Davidi, U... » read more

The Future Of FinFETs
By Ed Sperling - 18 Jan, 2018 - Comments: 0

The number of questions about finFETs is increasing—particularly, how long can they continue to be used before some version of gate-all-around FET is required to replace them. This discussion is confusing in many respects. For one thing, a 7nm finFET for TSMC or Samsung is not the same as a 7nm finFET for Intel or GlobalFoundries. There are a bunch of other nodes being proposed, as well, i... » read more

Predictions: Manufacturing, Devices And Companies
By Brian Bailey - 18 Jan, 2018 - Comments: 0

Some predictions are just wishful thinking, but most of these are a lot more thoughtful. They project what needs to happen for various markets or products to become successful. Those far reaching predictions may not fully happen within 2018, but we give everyone the chance to note the progress made towards their predictions at the end of the year. (See Reflection On 2017: Design And EDA and Man... » read more

Data Buffering’s Role Grows
By Ann Mutschler - 17 Jan, 2018 - Comments: 0

Data buffering is gaining ground as a way to speed up the processing of increasingly large quantities of data. In simple terms, a data buffer is an area of physical [getkc id="22" kc_name="memory"] storage that temporarily stores data while it is being moved from one place to another. This becomes increasingly necessary in data centers, autonomous vehicles, and for [getkc id="305" kc_name=... » read more
