Week In Review: Design, Low Power
By Jesse Allen - 18 Dec, 2020 - Comments: 0

Tools, Cloud, IP Valtrix Systems updated its STING design verification tool for RISC-V based CPU and SoC implementations. Version 1.9.0 adds support to verify recent changes to the RISC-V user and privilege specifications, including draft versions of the vector and bit manipulation standard extensions. Preliminary support for the draft version of the RISC-V hypervisor extension has also been a... » read more

Week In Review: Auto, Security, Pervasive Computing

Automotive Austin, Texas-based automotive startup Uhnder raised $45 million in Series C funding for its digital radar-on-chip. Telechips, a fabless semiconductor company that works on automotive SoCs, is using Arm’s IP to design its Dolphin5 SoC for ADAS (advanced drive assistance systems) and digital cockpits with in-vehicle infotainment (IVI). Dolphin5 will include the Arm’s Mali-G78A... » 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

Low Power Still Leads, But Energy Emerges As Future Focus
By Ann Mutschler - 10 Dec, 2020 - Comments: 1

In 2021 and beyond, chips used in smartphones, digital appliances, and nearly all major applications will need to go on a diet. As the amount of data being generated continues to swell, more processors are being added everywhere to sift through that data to determine what's useful, what isn't, and how to distribute it. All of that uses power, and not all of it is being done as efficiently as... » read more

Standard Benchmarks For AI Innovation
By Dylan Zika - 10 Dec, 2020 - Comments: 0

There is no standard measurement for machine learning performance today, meaning there is no single answer for how companies build a processor for ML across all use cases while balancing compute and memory constraints. For the longest time, every group would pick a definition and test to suit their own needs. This lack of common understanding of performance hinders customers' buying decis... » read more

Blog Review: Dec. 9
By Jesse Allen - 09 Dec, 2020 - Comments: 0

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

New Security Approaches, New Threats
By Ed Sperling - 09 Dec, 2020 - Comments: 0

New and different approaches to security are gaining a foothold as the life expectancy for advanced chips increases, and as emerging technologies such as quantum computing threaten to crack even the most complex encryption schemes. These approaches include everything from homomorphic encryption, where data is processed without being decrypted, to different ways of sending and receiving data ... » read more

Powering The Edge: Driving Optimal Performance With Ethos-N77 Processor
By Arm - 09 Dec, 2020 - Comments: 0

Repurposing a CPU, GPU, or DSP is an easy way to add ML capabilities to an edge device. However, where responsiveness or power efficiency is critical, a dedicated Neural Processing Unit (NPU) may be the best solution. In this paper, we describe how the Arm Ethos-N77 NPU delivers optimal performance. Click here to immediately download the paper. » read more

Security The United States Department of Defense added China's SMIC to its blacklist for its alleged cooperation with the Chinese military, reports Reuters. U.S. investors are asked not to invest in SMIC, among 35 other companies based in China on the list. Intel Labs launched the Private AI Collaborative Research Institute with Avast and Borsetta, to advance and develop technologies in pri... » read more

Using ICs To Shrink Auto’s Carbon Footprint
By Ann Mutschler - 03 Dec, 2020 - Comments: 3

A large portion of the burden for reducing greenhouse gases is being handed off to makers of automotive chips and systems, which are being tasked to make vehicles drive further using less energy and with zero emissions. The effort is critical in battling climate change. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the transportation sector represented 28.2% of 2018 greenhouse gas e... » read more
