Hidden Costs Of Shifting Left
By Brian Bailey - 26 Apr, 2018 - Comments: 0

The term "Shift Left" has been used increasingly within the semiconductor development flow to indicate tasks that were once performed sequentially must now be done concurrently. This is usually due to a tightening of dependences between tasks. One such example being talked about today is the need to perform hardware/software integration much earlier in the flow, rather than leaving it as a sequ... » read more

M&A The ESD Alliance is merging with SEMI, becoming a SEMI Strategic Association Partner. SE Editor In Chief Ed Sperling argues that the merger has broad implications for the chip industry, particularly as smaller nodes require greater collaboration between design and manufacturing. Meanwhile, SEMI president and CEO Ajit Manocha explains why the combining will be of benefit to members of b... » read more

Designing 5G Chips
By Ann Mutschler - 18 Apr, 2018 - Comments: 0

5G is the wireless technology of the future, and it’s coming fast. The technology boasts very high-speed data transfer rates, much lower latency than 4G LTE, and the ability to handle significantly higher densities of devices per cell site. In short, it is the best technology for the massive amount of data that will be generated by sensors in cars, IoT devices, and a growing list of next-g... » read more

AI Signals A New Change Of Perspective
By John Hengeveld - 12 Apr, 2018 - Comments: 0

A very long time ago, I was a student at MIT, programming with card decks in APL on IBM mainframes and studying AI in a class from Patrick Winston (who took over MIT’s AI lab from the legendary Marvin Minsky). I kept the text book as a reminder of where the world would go. Over four titanic shifts, mainframes/card decks became VAX/VT100, thence to IBM PCs and PC clients tied by Ethernet to co... » read more

Optimizing Machine Learning Workloads On Power-Efficient Devices
By Arm - 11 Apr, 2018 - Comments: 0

Software frameworks for neural networks, such as TensorFlow, PyTorch, and Caffe, have made it easier to use machine learning as an everyday feature, but it can be difficult to run these frameworks in an embedded environment. Limited budgets for power, memory, and computation can all make this more difficult. At Arm, we’ve developed Arm NN, an inference engine that makes it easier to target di... » read more

Built-In Security For Auto Chips
By Jeff Dorsch - 11 Apr, 2018 - Comments: 0

The road to autonomous vehicles depends upon components that are secured against hacking and other outside interference. The cybersecurity precautions necessary for self-driving cars must be embedded in chips and systems from the beginning of the supply chain. Automotive manufacturers and their Tier 1 suppliers are counting on their electronics vendors to provide products that can withst... » read more
