Is Programmable Overhead Worth The Cost?
By Brian Bailey - 13 Jan, 2022 - Comments: 0

Programmability has fueled the growth of most semiconductor products, but how much does it actually cost? And is that cost worth it? The answer is more complicated than a simple efficiency formula. It can vary by application, by maturity of technology in a particular market, and in the context of much larger systems. What's considered important for one design may be very different for anothe... » read more

CES 2022: In Person But Not Many People
By Paul McLellan - 13 Jan, 2022 - Comments: 0

CES was and is officially hybrid, with some events on-site in Las Vegas and some online. But many of the large exhibitors pulled out of attending in person (including Cadence, although we might be a big exhibitor at DAC but at CES we are tiny). A lot of the press seems to have stayed away in-person too. To be honest, a lot of the press has been gradually staying away for years since so much is ... » read more

Automotive Outlook: 2022
By Ann Mutschler - 06 Jan, 2022 - Comments: 0

The auto industry is widening its focus this year, migrating to new architectures that embrace better security, faster data movement, and eventually more manageable costs. The auto industry is facing both short-term and long-term challenges. In the short term, the chip shortage continues to top the list of concerns for the world's automakers. That shortage has delayed new vehicle deliveries,... » read more

Making PUFs Even More Secure
By Bryon Moyer - 06 Jan, 2022 - Comments: 0

As security has become a must-have in most systems, hardware roots of trust (HRoTs) have started appearing in many chips. Critical to an HRoT is the ability to authenticate and to create keys – ideally from a reliable source that is unviewable and immutable. “We see hardware roots of trust deployed in two use models — providing a foundation to securely start a system, and enabling a se... » read more

2022 Is the International Year of Glass
By Paul McLellan - 06 Jan, 2022 - Comments: 0

Happy New Year! It's 2022, and I like to ease into the year gently and see what this year is the "year of." The United Nations always selects a couple of areas, and there are events all over the world during the year. International Year of Glass First, it is the International Year of Glass, or IYoG2022. Our vision of a United Nations International Year of Glass (IYoG2022) is to cel... » read more

Domain-Specific Design Drives EDA Changes
By Ann Mutschler - 03 Jan, 2022 - Comments: 0

The chip design ecosystem is beginning to pivot toward domain-specific architectures, setting off a scramble among tools vendors to simplify and optimize existing tools and methodologies. The move reflects a sharp slowdown in Moore's Law scaling as the best approach for improving performance and reducing power. In its place, chipmakers — which now includes systems companies — are pushing... » read more
