CXL Thriving As Memory Link
By Karen Heyman - 16 Sep, 2024 - Comments: 0

CXL is emerging from a jumble of interconnect standards as a predictable way to connect memory to various processing elements, as well as to share memory resources within a data center. Compute Express Link is built on a PCI Express foundation and supported by nearly all the major chip companies. It is used to link CPUs, GPUs, FPGAs, and other purpose-built accelerators using serial communic... » read more

Is PPA Relevant Today?
By Brian Bailey - 12 Sep, 2024 - Comments: 1

The optimization of power, performance, and area (PPA) has been at the core of chip design since the dawn of EDA, but these metrics are becoming less valuable without the context of how and where these chips will be used. Unlike in the past, however, that context now comes from factors outside of hardware development. And while PPA still serves as a useful proxy for many parts of the hardwar... » read more

Blog Review: Sept. 11
By Jesse Allen - 11 Sep, 2024 - Comments: 0

Cadence's Neha Joshi introduces the IEEE 1801 standard, also known as UPF (Unified Power Format), which offers a uniform framework for defining power domains, power states, and power intent to ensure consistency across diverse tools and phases of the design process. Siemens' John McMillan warns that known good die may not behave the same in 3D-ICs as they do standalone and suggests that mult... » read more

Standardizing Defect Coverage In Analog/Mixed Signal Test
By Gregory Haley - 10 Sep, 2024 - Comments: 0

A newly drafted IEEE standard will bring more consistency to defect metrics in analog/mixed (AMS) designs, a long-overdue step that has become too difficult to ignore in the costly heterogeneous assemblies being deployed inside of data centers and mobile devices. Standardizing analog is no simple feat due to the legacy approach to AMS design, and this is not the first attempt at improving te... » read more

Balancing Programmability And Performance In Cars
By Ann Mutschler - 05 Sep, 2024 - Comments: 0

The rate of change in the automotive industry is accelerating with the shift toward software-defined vehicles and ongoing advancements in algorithms and chip architectures. The challenge now is to figure out the best way to prevent rapid obsolescence, improve safety, and keep the cost of these changes to a minimum. Today, updatable automotive hardware is typically achieved through FPGAs, but... » read more

Photonics Could Reduce The Cost Of Lidar
By Karen Heyman - 05 Sep, 2024 - Comments: 0

Using light to move data over shorter distances is becoming more common, both because there is much more data to move around and because photons are faster and cooler than electrons. Using optical fiber for mission-critical communication is already well established. It has been the preferred PHY for long-haul communications for decades because it doesn’t suffer from the attenuation losses ... » read more

Shaping The Future Of Automotive Safety With V2X
By Steve Brown - 05 Sep, 2024 - Comments: 0

In recent years, the automotive industry has witnessed a technological evolution that promises to redefine road safety and driving experiences. At the heart of this advancement is V2X technology, which stands for "vehicle-to-everything." This innovation allows vehicles to communicate with each other and their surroundings, enhancing road safety and efficiency. Understanding these cutting-edge d... » read more

Security Improving For Low-Cost Hardware
By Adam Kovac - 05 Sep, 2024 - Comments: 0

Security has been a priority in software for decades, but only recently has it begun catching up in chips — particularly those in inexpensive devices. The disconnect is that while these devices are low-cost, they often are connected to the same networks as more sophisticated devices and repositories for valuable data. It's not unusual for the entry point in ransomware or distributed denial... » read more
