Stretching Engineers
By Brian Bailey - 22 Dec, 2020 - Comments: 1

Engineering has one constant — you innovate or fall by the wayside. That is true both for the things that are designed and for the engineers who design and build them. Today’s systems are putting new strains on engineers who can no longer be "tall and thin" or "short and fat." Those descriptions pertain to an engineer who is either highly specialized or one who has much broader experience. ... » read more

Blog Review: Dec. 16

Arm's Benoit Labbe investigates why battery monitoring is so important for a low-power microcontroller and shows how it was implemented in the M0N0 MCU while drawing a fraction of a nW in typical conditions. Siemens EDA's Harry Foster takes a look at how much of their time FPGA design engineers spend on verification, and the tasks that keep verification engineers the busiest. Synopsys' Sc... » read more

10X Faster Electromagnetic 3D Simulation
By Denis Soldo - 15 Dec, 2020 - Comments: 0

Virtual prototypes are essential to optimize the signal integrity performance of their high-performance electronics products. Today, engineering teams are pushing to get fast electromagnetic (EM) simulations of printed circuit boards (PCB) and 3D chip packages in just a few hours with the highest level of accuracy. The state of the art in EM simulation has come a long way: Back in 2000 it wa... » read more

Week In Review: Design, Low Power
By Jesse Allen - 11 Dec, 2020 - Comments: 0

RISC-V RISC-V International CEO Calista Redmond provided an update on the state of the community during the annual RISC-V Summit: “RISC-V has had an incredible year of growth and momentum. This year, our technical community has grown 66 percent to more than 2,300 individuals in our more than 50 technical and special interest groups. We’re seeing increased market momentum of RISC-V cores, S... » read more

Waking And Sleeping Create Current Transients
By Bryon Moyer - 10 Dec, 2020 - Comments: 0

Silicon power-saving techniques are helping to reduce the power required by data centers and other high-intensity computing environments, but they’ve also added a significant challenge for design teams. As islands on high-powered chips go to sleep and wake up, the current requirements change quickly. This happens in a few microseconds, at most. The rapid change of loading creates a challen... » read more

Simulating The Hyperloop
By Susan Coleman - 10 Dec, 2020 - Comments: 0

When SpaceX held the first Hyperloop Design Weekend Competition in Texas in January 2016, a team of five students from the Universitat Politècnica de València (UPV) in Spain, calling themselves Hyperloop UPV, won awards for Best Overall Concept Design and Best Propulsion System. The overall concept was to use magnetic levitation to give their Hyperloop vehicle a frictionless ride through t... » read more

Arm's Benoit Labbe digs into designing a power converter for Arm Research's ultra-low power M0N0 microcontroller, with a focus on optimal efficiency and leakage constraints. Mentor's Harry Foster tries to get a sense of how much effort is spent in verification of FPGAs by looking at the amount of time spent and number of engineers on a project. Cadence's Paul McLellan listens in as Odile ... » read more

HPC Appliance Boosts Simulation Performance
By Ansys - 09 Dec, 2020 - Comments: 0

High-performance computing (HPC) resources can provide a substantial boost to simulation, but an HPC cluster can be complex and difficult to manage. By deploying a managed HPC cluster for ARA, the client was able to eliminate internal maintenance and support overhead, while improving productivity and reliability for their Ansys workloads.
