Week In Review: Design, Low Power
By Jesse Allen - 28 Feb, 2020 - Comments: 0

Tools Synopsys debuted the VC SpyGlass RTL Static Signoff platform featuring new noise reduction technology that uses machine learning to reduce noise by 10X without loss of quality of results. It also provides comprehensive CDC and RDC analysis to catch logic issues added during implementation, and is integrated with Synopsys' automated debug system. Ansys released RaptorH, a tool that com... » read more

Week In Review: Auto, Security, Pervasive Computing
By SE Staff - 28 Feb, 2020 - Comments: 0

AI/Edge The United States Department of Defense (DOD) has adopted ethical principles for using artificial intelligence in warfare that chiefly say the U.S. has to follow the laws, treaties, in use of AI in warfare. Any AI used by DOD has to be responsible, equitable, traceable, reliable and governable. “The Department will design and engineer AI capabilities to fulfill their intended functio... » read more

Blog Review: Feb. 26

AI The European Union put out a white paper about artificial intelligence. The United States Chief Technology Officer Michael Kratsios criticized the EU stance on Thursday as clumsy. "We found, what they actually put out yesterday, really, I think, in some ways clumsily attempts to bucket AI-powered technologies as either ‘high-risk’ or ‘not high-risk,’” he said, according to a news ... » read more

Wrestling With Variation In Advanced Node Designs
By Ann Mutschler - 19 Feb, 2020 - Comments: 5

Variation is becoming a major headache at advanced nodes, and issues that used to be dealt with in the fab now must be dealt with on the design side, as well. What is fundamentally changing is that margin, which has long been used as a buffer for variation and other manufacturing process-related problems, no longer works in these leading-edge designs for a couple of reasons. First, margin im... » read more

Blog Review: Feb. 19
By Jesse Allen - 19 Feb, 2020 - Comments: 0

Arm's Urmish Thakker takes a look at TinyML, some of the challenges in developing efficient architectures for resource constrained devices, and an explanation of Kronecker product compression. Mentor's Colin Walls considers whether it's better to use single or multiple returns for a function when writing understandable, readable code. Cadence's Paul McLellan shares highlights from a prese... » read more

Where Timing And Voltage Intersect
By Ed Sperling - 14 Feb, 2020 - Comments: 0

João Geada, chief technologist at ANSYS, talks about the limitations for power delivery networks and what processors can handle, why the current solutions to these issues are causing failures, and how voltage reduction can affect timing. » read more

Reducing Power At RTL
By Ann Mutschler - 13 Feb, 2020 - Comments: 0

Power management and reduction at the register transfer level is becoming more problematic as more heterogeneous elements are added into advanced designs and more components are dependent on interactions with other components. This has been a growing problem in leading-edge designs for the past couple of process nodes, but similar issues have begun creeping into less-sophisticated designs as... » read more

The Four Benefits of Simulation-Driven Design
By Ansys - 12 Feb, 2020 - Comments: 0

Simulation-driven design involves using simulation early, often, and throughout the design cycle to make better informed decisions, explore more alternatives and verify performance. This report presents the business benefits of taking a simulation-driven design approach, enabled by engineers, across the design cycle. It focuses on the four core sources of value for simulation-driven design: inc... » read more

Blog Review: Feb. 5
By Jesse Allen - 05 Feb, 2020 - Comments: 0

Cadence's Paul McLellan checks out the different ways persistent memories can be used, as well as a basic persistent programming model and key things hardware needs to support. In a video, Mentor's Colin Walls explains what's different about operating systems for embedded applications and how to go about selecting one. Synopsys' Taylor Armerding finds troubling vulnerabilities in U.S. cri... » read more
