Synopsys' Taylor Armerding warns that critical infrastructure is still vulnerable to cyber threats, with Kaspersky finding that 42.7% of the industrial control system computers it protected last year were attacked by malware, email phishing, or other threats. Cadence's Paul McLellan listens in as Jon Masters of Red Hat considers how to tackle speculative execution and branch prediction vulne... » read more

VivaTech: Reporter’s Notebook
By Ed Sperling - 20 May, 2019 - Comments: 0

What makes a successful startup in Silicon Valley or Europe is very different from what defines success in other parts of the world. While much of the mainstream tech industry focuses on markets such as automotive, 5G and AI, there is a less-obvious boom in startups with a much narrower focus. All of this was readily apparent at last week's Viva Technology Conference in Paris, a gathering of... » read more

Internet of Things Verizon Communications launched its nationwide narrowband Internet of Things network, saying it covers more than 92% of the U.S. population. “There is a whole universe of smart solutions needing scalable and affordable connections,” Jeffrey Dietel, senior vice president of business marketing and products, said in a statement. “By launching our NB-IoT network, Verizon i... » read more

Week In Review: Design, Low Power
By Jesse Allen - 17 May, 2019 - Comments: 0

Tools & IP Cadence introduced the Tensilica Vision Q7 DSP, which provides up to 1.82 TOPS and is specifically optimized for simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM). The DSP has a very long instruction word (VLIW) SIMD architecture, an enhanced instruction set supporting 8/16/32-bit data types and optional VFPU support for single and half precision, and a number of iDMA enhancements in... » read more

Is ADAS The Edge?
By Ann Mutschler - 16 May, 2019 - Comments: 0

Debate is brewing over whether ADAS applications fall on the edge, or if they are better viewed squarely within the context of the automotive camp. There is more to this discussion than just semantics. The edge represents a huge greenfield opportunity for electronics of all sorts, and companies from the mobile market and from the cloud are both rushing to stake their claim. At this point the... » read more

Can The Hardware Supply Chain Remain Secure?
By Andy Patrizio - 15 May, 2019 - Comments: 2

Malware in computers has been a reality since the 1990s, but lately the focus has shifted to hardware. So far, the semiconductor industry has been lucky because well-publicized threats were either limited or unproven. But sooner or later, luck runs out. Last year saw two significant incidents that shook people’s faith in the integrity of hardware security. The first was the Meltdown/Spectr... » read more

Cadence's Sean Dart shares an example of the kind of optimizations HLS tools can perform that would be difficult to find and implement by hand-coding RTL. Synopsys' Taylor Armerding takes a look at three cybersecurity initiatives from the U.S. government, from an IoT bill to improved voting machines, and whether they're likely to work. In a video, Mentor's Colin Walls points to why flashi... » read more

Driving AI, ML To New Levels On MCUs
By Rhonda Dirvin - 09 May, 2019 - Comments: 0

One of the most dramatic impacts of technology of late has been the implementation of artificial intelligence and machine learning on small edge devices, the likes of which are forming the backbone of the Internet of Things. At first, this happened through sheer engineering willpower and innovation. But as the drive towards a world of a trillion connected devices accelerates, we must find wa... » read more

Machine Learning On Arm Cortex-M Microcontrollers
By Arm - 08 May, 2019 - Comments: 0

Machine learning (ML) algorithms are moving to the IoT edge due to various considerations such as latency, power consumption, cost, network bandwidth, reliability, privacy and security. Hence, there is an increasing interest in developing Neural Network (NN) solutions to deploy them on low-power edge devices such as the Arm Cortex-M microcontroller systems. CMSIS-NN is an open-source library of... » read more
