Testing AI Systems
By Ed Sperling - 15 Jan, 2019 - Comments: 0

AI is booming. It's coming to a device near you—maybe even inside of you. And AI will be used to design, manufacture and even ship those devices, regardless of what they are, where they are used, or how they are transported. The big questions now are whether these systems work, for how long—and what do those metrics even mean? An AI system, or AI-enhanced system, is supposed to adapt ove... » read more

Derek Wu, senior staff applications engineer at Advantest, looks at the need for doing multiple tests at the same time as chip designs become more complex, increasingly heterogeneous, and much more difficult to test at advanced nodes. https://youtu.be/-8inbjX_af0       __________________________________ See more tech talk videos here. » read more

Scaling To Meet Engineering Challenges In Transportation
By Andrew Macleod - 10 Jan, 2019 - Comments: 0

If you’re working on anything related to self-driving cars, you’re likely pondering the tradeoff between what’s technically possible and socially feasible. Example: what do you do if the posted speed is 25mph while the local norms are to travel at least 30 mph? Obey the law and annoy the drivers around you? Or follow the herd and risk the ire of local law enforcement and officials who are... » read more

Generative Design for Autonomous Vehicle Electrical Systems
By Mentor, a Siemens Business - 09 Jan, 2019 - Comments: 0

The massive complexity inherent in autonomous vehicle design will push the tools and methodologies used by automotive engineers to their limits. This is especially true in the electrical and electronic systems domains as they come to dominate the operation of a vehicle’s safety-critical systems and amenities. To compete, autonomous car manufacturers will need a new design methodology that ena... » read more

EDA, IP Show Strong Growth
By Ed Sperling - 07 Jan, 2019 - Comments: 0

EDA and IP revenue increased 6.7% worldwide in Q3 2018 to $2.44 billion, compared to $2.28 billion in the same period in 2017. The growth was fueled by rising investments in startups in AI and 5G, as well as a stampede of new and existing companies targeting automotive electrification and autonomous vehicles. While startup funding ultimately will run out as these new markets mature and cons... » read more
