Cities Strive For More Smarts, Security
By SE Staff - 04 Aug, 2022 - Comments: 0

As cities around the world move beyond their first completed smart city projects and add more systems, they face hurdles in expanding but have more standards, technical resources, and real-world examples to draw on when making project design decisions. The main concern is keeping the smart city systems and their data and functions safe, especially if the system is touching critical infrastructu... » read more

AEK: Powerpoint Is Easy—Change is Hard
By Paul McLellan - 04 Aug, 2022 - Comments: 0

A major message to big-name automakers at the Automobil Elektronik Kongress 2022 was, "You old-time car guys don't get it. We have to deliver a smartphone experience in a vehicle. If not, we will be out of our jobs, and someone else will." CARIAD I thought that the most interesting presentation was by Riclef Schmidt-Clausen of CARIAD. CARIAD is a spinout from Volkswagen (VW) of their software... » read more

Customizing Processors
By Brian Bailey - 28 Jul, 2022 - Comments: 1

The design, verification, and implementation of a processor is the core competence of some companies, but others just want to whip up a small processor as quickly and cheaply as possible. What tools and options exist? Processors range from very small, simple cores that are deeply embedded into products to those operating at the highest possible clock speeds and throughputs in data centers. I... » read more
