Virtualization In The Car
By Ann Mutschler - 06 Aug, 2020 - Comments: 1

As the automotive industry grapples with complexity due to electrification and increasing autonomy of vehicles, consolidation of ECUs within vehicles, more stringent safety and security requirements, automotive ecosystem players are looking to virtualization concepts in a number of ways to realize the vehicles of tomorrow. One way is with hardware virtualization; the ability of a device such... » read more

Re-Imagining Electrical System Design
By Mentor, a Siemens Business - 05 Aug, 2020 - Comments: 0

Electrical system complexity is reaching a tipping point across industries, from modern passenger vehicles to sophisticated industrial machines that can now contain nearly 5,000 wiring harnesses. The electrical systems of these machines contain multiple networks, thousands of sensors and actuators, miles of wiring and tens of thousands of discrete components. Designing these complex systems is ... » read more

Smarter, Safer Surround-View For Cars
By Mike Barnes - 30 Jul, 2020 - Comments: 1

With modern advancements in automotive safety, we are seeing advanced driving assistance systems (ADAS) such as surround-view become the new standard in modern cars. This demonstration shows how this application can be enhanced with the addition of accurate real-time reflections and AI to detect hazards that make cars safer. First, let’s start with the graphics problem. Have you ever l... » read more

Navigation Rendering Techniques
By Imagination Technologies - 29 Jul, 2020 - Comments: 0

Visualization of navigation data is a complex task. The graphics should be appealing, informative, running at a high frame rate, and utilizing low power consumption at the same time. This whitepaper deals with the efficient rendering of navigation maps on the tile-based deferred rendering architecture of the PowerVR chipset families. The navigation demo, which can be found in the PowerVR SDK, i... » read more

Semicon West Day Three
By Mark LaPedus - 22 Jul, 2020 - Comments: 1

It’s day three at Semicon West. (In case you missed it, here’s the day one/two recap of Semicon.) Day three was fairly lively, featuring several keynotes, panels and technical presentations. It’s difficult to write about everything. So I decided to only focus on a few items. Keynote--What happen to automotive? For years, automotive has been a bright spot in the semiconductor i... » read more

Ins And Outs Of In-Circuit Monitoring
By Ed Sperling - 21 Jul, 2020 - Comments: 2

At 7nm and 5nm, in-circuit monitoring is becoming essential. Steve Crosher, CEO of Moortec, talks about the impact of rising complexity, how different use cases and implementations can affect reliability and uptime, and why measuring electrical, voltage and thermal stress can be used to statistically predict failures and improve reliability throughout a chip’s lifetime. » read more

Why Safety-Critical Verification Is So Difficult
By Ann Mutschler - 15 Jul, 2020 - Comments: 0

The inclusion of AI chips in automotive and increasingly in avionics has put a spotlight on advanced-node designs that can meet all of the ASIL-D requirements for temperature and stress. How should designers approach this task, particularly when these devices need to last longer than the applications? Semiconductor Engineering sat down to discuss these issues with Kurt Shuler, vice president of... » read more

Maximizing Value Post-Moore’s Law
By Brian Bailey - 13 Jul, 2020 - Comments: 0

When Moore's Law was in full swing, almost every market segment considered moving to the next available node as a primary way to maximize value. But today, each major market segment is looking at different strategies that are more closely aligned with its individual needs. This diversity will end up causing both pain and opportunities in the supply chain. Chip developers must do more with a ... » read more

Week In Review: Auto, Security, Pervasive Computing
By Susan Rambo - 10 Jul, 2020 - Comments: 0

IoT Arm is proposing to transfer its two IoT divisions to SoftBank Group Corp., which will own and operate them under new entities. The two IoT Services Group (ISG) businesses are IoT Platform and Treasure Data. Arm intends to focus more on its IP roadmap in data and compute, once the transfer becomes finalized. It is subject to more board review. “Arm believes there are great opportunities ... » read more
