CDNLive 2019: The Verification Ecosystem Is Growing Stronger And Stronger
By Frank Schirrmeister - 25 Apr, 2019 - Comments: 0

Ecosystems are not only fascinating when it comes to processors like Arm, MIPS, x86, and RISC-V (as I have written before) or for semiconductor technologies like TSMC, GLOBALFOUNDRIES, and Samsung; they are key for success in verification as well. CDNLive Silicon Valley was, again, a great example of the verification ecosystem in action. It showcased the different engines verification tools run... » read more

Designing For The Edge
By Ann Mutschler - 17 Apr, 2019 - Comments: 0

Chip and system architectures are beginning to change as the tech industry comes to grips with the need to process more data locally for latency, safety, and privacy/security reasons. The emergence of the intelligent edge is an effort to take raw data from endpoints, extract the data that requires immediate action, and forward other data to various local, regional or commercial clouds. The b... » read more

Preparing For War On The Edge
By Ed Sperling - 09 Apr, 2019 - Comments: 0

War clouds are gathering over the edge of the network. The rush by the reigning giants of data—IBM, Amazon, Facebook, Alibaba, Baidu, Microsoft and Apple—to control the cloud by building mammoth hyperscale data centers  is being met with uncertainty at the edge of the network. In fact, just the emergence of the edge could mean that all bets are off when it comes to data dominance. It... » read more

Racing To The Edge
By Susan Rambo And Ed Sperling - 09 Apr, 2019 - Comments: 0

The race is on to win a piece of the edge, despite the fact that there is no consistent definition of where the edge begins and ends or how the various pieces will be integrated or ultimately tested. The edge concept originated with the Internet of Things, where the initial idea was that tens of billions of dumb sensors would communicate through gateways to the cloud. That idea persisted unt... » read more

New Battleground In The Data Race
By Ed Sperling - 12 Mar, 2019 - Comments: 0

For the past couple years, giant commercial data centers have been grabbing as much data as possible. The big question now is whether that investment will pay off. Companies such as AWS, Google, Microsoft, Alibaba and Baidu are not necessarily the best equipped to leverage that data—or at least not yet. In fact, most of what they've been focusing on is a narrow slice of the data being coll... » read more

Design Infrastructure Alley at DAC 2019
By Derek Magill - 11 Feb, 2019 - Comments: 0

2018 marked the first year of the Design Infrastructure Alley (DIA) at DAC. It was the first time that DAC devoted floorspace to discussing the unique IT needs of the semiconductor industry. Some of the big issues we are looking to address at DAC include: Increased Focus on Data/IP Security Semiconductor companies have traditionally had a very open, collegial way of working. The emphasis... » read more

The Data Deluge
By Ed Sperling - 23 Jan, 2019 - Comments: 0

Lip-Bu Tan, president and CEO of Cadence, sat down with Semiconductor Engineering to discuss the intersection of big data and technology, from the data center to the edge and vertical markets such as automotive. What follows are excerpts of that conversation. SE: What are the biggest changes you've seen over the past year? Tan: We are moving quickly toward data-driven economics. There... » read more

Cutting The Cord: How Edge Intelligence Is Enabling The IoT To Go Where Cloud Can’t
By Chris Shore - 17 Jan, 2019 - Comments: 3

In a world where data’s time to value or irrelevancy may be measured in milliseconds, the latency introduced in transferring data to the cloud threatens to undermine many of the Internet of Things’ most compelling use cases. Think of data as the fuel that powers our new decision-making engines – fail to get the fuel to the engines fast enough and the engine splutters and dies. Meanwhil... » read more

Data Vs. Physics
By Ed Sperling - 10 Jan, 2019 - Comments: 0

The surge of data from nearly ubiquitous arrays of sensors is changing the dynamics of where and how that data is processed. There is simply too much data to send everything to a centralized processing facility in the cloud, and even 5G won't provide enough bandwidth to handle all of this data. This has big implications on a much broader scale. Data is valuable. And while clean data is more ... » read more

Chip Industry In Rapid Transition
By Ed Sperling - 09 Jan, 2019 - Comments: 0

Wally Rhines, CEO Emeritus at Mentor, a Siemens Business, sat down with Semiconductor Engineering to talk about global economics, AI, the growing emphasis on customization, and the impact of security and higher abstraction levels. What follows are excerpts of that conversation. SE: Where do you see the biggest changes happening across the chip industry? Rhines: 2018 was a hot year for fab... » read more
