Re-Using IP In Packaging
By Ed Sperling - 10 Jul, 2017 - Comments: 0

For the past decade, the promise held forth by advanced packaging was that it would allow chipmakers to mix and match analog and digital IP without worrying about the process node at which they were developed or the physical interactions between components. This is a big deal when it comes to analog. Analog IP doesn't benefit from node shrinking the way digital logic does, and in many cases ... » read more

IoT’s Success Will Be About The ‘Information Profit Margin’
By Philip Sparks - 06 Jul, 2017 - Comments: 0

Almost 20 years ago, on a clear, chilly spring day in Massachusetts, Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan spoke at the Boston College Finance Conference 2000. What he said would mark a pivotal moment in our thinking about the impact of technology: “When historians look back at the latter half of the 1990s a decade or two hence, I suspect that they will conclude we are now living through... » read more

Cutting CapEx, Not Capacity
By Krzysztof Szczur - 29 Jun, 2017 - Comments: 0

‘The cloud’ has been an industry buzz word for some time now, and while the initial focus was on data storage and sharing - and spawned the likes of Dropbox – ‘cloud computing’ is currently the latest trend. For instance, Amazon’s cloud platform, Amazon Web Services (AWS), gives users access to servers and a range of applications. Storage is available as before but so too now are... » read more

Verification In The Cloud
By Ed Sperling - 29 Jun, 2017 - Comments: 0

By Ed Sperling Leasing of cloud-based verification resources on an as-needed basis is finally beginning to gain traction after more than a decade of false starts and over-optimistic expectations. All of the major EDA vendors now offer cloud-based services. They view this as a way of either supplementing a chipmaker's existing resources at various peak use times, or for small and midsize com... » read more

Safety Plus Security: A New Challenge
By Brian Bailey - 08 Jun, 2017 - Comments: 0

Nobody has ever integrated safety or security features into their design just because they felt like it. Usually, successive high-profile attacks are needed to even get an industry's attention. And after that, it's not always clear how to best implement solutions or what the tradeoffs are between cost, performance, and risk versus benefit. Putting safety and security in the same basket is a ... » read more

Inside The Maker Faire
By Ed Sperling - 01 Jun, 2017 - Comments: 0

The Maker Faire is to the Internet of Things what Comdex once was to the PC, what Mobile World Congress still is to the mobile device, and what CES has become to the automotive industry. It's a collection of the latest ideas and unique implementations that point the way to the big shifts in technology. Most of the companies exhibiting at these shows never make it to become household names. S... » read more

Carriers Push Datacenter-Style Virtualization
By Gale Morrison - 01 Jun, 2017 - Comments: 0

The world’s largest telco carriers are leading a broad movement to bring data center-style virtualization to the core of their telecommunications networks. In an industry known for being extremely conservative when it comes to change, this one appears to be significant. The move has set off a scramble among a number of companies for unified control and forwarding plane designs, starting fr... » read more
