Leveraging Chip Data To Improve Productivity
By Ann Mutschler - 23 Feb, 2023 - Comments: 1

The semiconductor ecosystem is scrambling to use data more effectively in order to increase the productivity of design teams, improve yield in the fab, and ultimately increase reliability of systems in the field. Data collection, analysis, and utilization is at the center of all these efforts and more. Data can be collected at every point in the design-through-manufacturing flow and into the f... » read more

How To Make Chiplets A Viable Market
By Paul McLellan - 23 Feb, 2023 - Comments: 0

At the recent Chiplet Summit, there was a panel session on the last afternoon titled "How to Make Chiplets a Viable Market." The panel was moderated by Meta's Ravi Agarwal, and the panelists were (from left to right in the photo): Travis Lanier of Ventana Micro Systems...actually Travis couldn't make it and Ventana was represented by Charles, but I didn't catch his last name Clint Walk... » read more

Dealing With Performance Bottlenecks In SoCs
By Brian Bailey - 23 Feb, 2023 - Comments: 0

A surge in the amount of data that SoCs need to process is bogging down performance, and while the processors themselves can handle that influx, memory and communication bandwidth are straining. The question now is what can be done about it. The gap between memory and CPU bandwidth — the so-called memory wall — is well documented and definitely not a new problem. But it has not gone away... » read more

Blog Review: Feb. 22
By Jesse Allen - 22 Feb, 2023 - Comments: 0

Siemens EDA's Harry Foster observes that the FPGA market continues to go through a similar complexity curve that the IC/ASIC market experienced in the early and mid-2000 timeframe. Synopsys' Mitch Heins explores the benefits of heterogeneous integration of lasers and active gain elements in a silicon-based photonic IC, including reduced system costs, size, weight, and power along with improv... » read more

Week In Review: Design, Low Power
By Linda Christensen - 17 Feb, 2023 - Comments: 0

It’s earnings season. Arm, Cadence, Synopsys, Siemens (consolidated), Rambus, and Renesas reported quarterly results over the past couple weeks. All posted year-over-year revenue growth, despite an overall challenging macroeconomic climate. A roundup of all the chip industry earnings reports from the past several weeks can be found here. The edge computing market is projected to jump to al... » read more

Week In Review: Auto, Security, Pervasive Computing
By Susan Rambo - 17 Feb, 2023 - Comments: 0

Tesla will recall 362,000 U.S. vehicles over Full Self-Driving (FSD) Beta software after the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) found that the cars sometimes have unsafe behavior around intersections when using the FSD Beta system. Examples are “traveling straight through an intersection while in a turn-only lane, entering a stop sign-controlled intersection without coming... » read more

Blog Review: Feb. 15
By Jesse Allen - 15 Feb, 2023 - Comments: 0

Siemens EDA's Harry Foster examines the relationship between verification maturity and non-trivial bug escapes into production, as well as whether safety critical development processes yield higher quality in terms of preventing bugs and achieving silicon success. Synopsys' Shankar Krishnamoorthy finds that the rapid progress of machine learning models is driving demand for more domain-speci... » read more

Simplifying Integration And Security In Home Networks
By Marie C. Baca - 13 Feb, 2023 - Comments: 0

An explosion of devices connected to the internet is driving vendors to implement standards that simplify the initial setup and improve security and integration with other devices, regardless of brand, network protocols, or country of origin. Farthest along in this multi-ecosystem merge is the Connectivity Standards Alliance (CSA), which today is supported by more than 500 companies, includi... » read more

Week In Review: Design, Low Power
By Jesse Allen - 10 Feb, 2023 - Comments: 0

Arm is heading for an IPO this year, with plans "fairly well developed and underway now," CEO Rene Haas told Reuters. Arm reported fiscal Q3 revenue of $746 million, up 28% compared with the same period in 2021, setting the stage for a public offering. The company noted it had double- or triple-revenue increases in automotive, consumer, infrastructure, and IoT. The Si2 Compact Model Coalit... » read more

Chiplets Taking Root As Silicon-Proven Hard IP
By Ann Mutschler - 09 Feb, 2023 - Comments: 0

Chiplets are all the rage today, and for good reason. With the various ways to design a semiconductor-based system today, IP reuse via chiplets appears to be an effective and feasible solution, and a potentially low-cost alternative to shrinking everything to the latest process node. To enable faster time to market, common IP or technology that already has been silicon-proven can be utilized... » read more
