Arm's Paul Whatmough checks out SCALE-Sim, an open source cycle-accurate simulator specifically for neural processing unit (NPU) architectures. Mentor's Neil Johnson shows how a complete verification methodology requires complementary deployment of multiple techniques, with different options at each level of abstraction. Cadence's Paul McLellan checks out challenges in automotive reliabil... » read more

Full-Duplex Wireless Remains A Promise And A Challenge
By Bryon Moyer - 27 Apr, 2020 - Comments: 0

Wireless bandwidth capacity could double if we could use full-duplex communication. Unfortunately, that’s not as easy as it sounds. People are working hard on it, but we’re mostly not there yet. Full duplex seems easy. In fact, so easy that it was possible with the first basic telephones. There was one loop between each phone and the central office, and that one loop carried conversation... » read more

Mentor's Neil Johnson argues that it's time to reevaluate the current definition of verification methodology, with a new focus on methodologies driven by the needs of the design and best suited to different abstractions. Synopsys' Derek Handova warns that the need to manage the security risks of billions of IoT devices will continue to change the requirements and scope of 5G security. Cad... » read more

Designing Ultra Low Power AI Processors
By Ann Mutschler - 09 Apr, 2020 - Comments: 0

AI chip design is beginning to shift direction as more computing moves to the edge, adding a level of sophistication and functionality that typically was relegated to the cloud, but in a power envelope compatible with a battery. These changes leverage many existing tools, techniques and best practices for chip design. But they also are beginning to incorporate a variety of new approaches tha... » read more
