The Rise Of The Subsystem And New IP Providers
By Frank Schirrmeister - 26 Jun, 2013 - Comments: 0

By Frank Schirrmeister From the perspective of system development in EDA, the customer landscape and its changes have always had a fascinating influence on our tools. NVIDIA’s recent announcement in a corporate blog post that they will be licensing the Kepler GPU architecture caused me to check again on the customer landscape for which we are enabling system development, for example, with ou... » read more

Deja Vu All Over Again
By Brian Fuller - 19 Jun, 2013 - Comments: 0

By Brian Fuller I’m sure you’ve had that experience, at least once in your life, where you’re walking down the street, you pass someone and think, “Where do I know that guy from? Looks soooo familiar….” Well, here in this spot, I’m that guy. You’re looking at that incredibly sincere mug shot nearby and thinking, “Where do I know that guy from? Didn’t he sell me a really ... » read more

Rethinking Big Iron
By Ed Sperling - 13 Jun, 2013 - Comments: 0

By Ann Steffora Mutschler One size does not fit all when it comes to the server market, and that may be the best option for low-power processor makers to gain a toehold in a world that until now has been almost laser-focused on performance. Even higher-performance versions of low-power processing architectures are starting to show up inside of datacenters. Many are application-specific ... » read more

Automotive Power Concerns
By Ed Sperling - 13 Jun, 2013 - Comments: 0

By Ann Steffora Mutschler With advanced semiconductor technologies infiltrating the automotive market in ever new and exciting ways, there are also challenges to implementation involving power. In fact, power has become a concern in many areas of automotive design. Consider the Tesla, for example. The dashboard features a 17” touchscreen with the entire vehicle controls. This system i... » read more

Drowning In Data
By Ed Sperling - 13 Jun, 2013 - Comments: 0

By Ed Sperling The old adage, “Be careful what you wish for,” has hit the SoC design market like a 100-year storm. After years of demanding more data to understand what’s going on in a design, engineering teams now have so much data that they’re drowning in it. This is most obvious at advanced process nodes, of course. But it’s also true these days at more mainstream nodes such as... » read more

The Shape Of Things To Come
By Ed Sperling - 13 Jun, 2013 - Comments: 0

By Ed Sperling The standard method of designing chips—by shrinking features and turning up the clock frequency—is running out of steam for many companies. It’s too difficult, too expensive, and without a commercially viable new lithography source it may become even more unrealistic for most applications. That certainly doesn’t mean Moore’s Law is ending, but it could become more o... » read more

Life In A Connected World
By Qi Wang - 13 Jun, 2013 - Comments: 0

By Qi Wang At this year’s DA, we heard a lot of discussions on the Internet of Things. Gregg Lowe, CEO of Freescale, said in his keynote speech that by 2020 there will be 50 billion connected devices. Considering there are an estimated 4 billion devices in the world now, mostly unconnected, this represents huge growth potential for the semiconductor industry because each device will have at ... » read more
