Week In Review: Auto, Security, Pervasive Computing
By Susan Rambo - 22 Apr, 2022 - Comments: 0

Automotive, mobility Synopsys uncorked its new neural processor IP, which can be used to develop scalable neural processors in automotive and consumer products. The ARC NPX6 NPU IP can run at 3,500 TOPS (30 TOPS per watt), running up to 96K MACs with enhanced utilization, new sparsity features and new interconnect for scalability. The ARC NPX6FS NPU IP and MetaWare MX Toolkit for Safety can be... » read more

EDA On Cloud Presents Unique Challenges
By Ann Mutschler - 31 Mar, 2022 - Comments: 0

Discussions about cloud-based EDA tools are heating up for both hardware and software engineering projects, opening the door to vast compute resources that can be scaled up and down as needed. Still, not everyone is on board with this shift, and even companies that use the cloud don't necessarily want to use it for every aspect of chip design. But the number of cloud-based EDA tools is growi... » read more

Incremental Design Breakdown
By Brian Bailey - 24 Mar, 2022 - Comments: 0

For the past two decades, most designs have been incremental in nature. They heavily leveraged IP used in previous designs, and that IP often was developed by third parties. But there are growing problems with that methodology, especially at advanced nodes where back-end issues and the impact of 'shift left' are reducing the savings from reuse. The value of IP reuse has been well established... » read more

How To Justify A Data Center
By Ann Mutschler - 24 Mar, 2022 - Comments: 0

The breadth of cloud capabilities and improvements in cost and licensing structures is prompting chipmakers to consider offloading at least some of their design work into the cloud. Cloud is a viable business today for semiconductor design. Over the past decade, the interest in moving to cloud computing has grown from an idea that was fun to talk about — but which no one was serious about ... » read more

Improve Your Verification Methodology: Hunt Bugs Flying In Squadrons
By Philippe Luc - 24 Mar, 2022 - Comments: 0

After analyzing bugs on several generations of CPUs, I came to the conclusion that “bugs fly in squadrons.” In other words, when a bug is found in a given area of the design, the probability that there are other bugs with similar conditions, in the same area of the design, is quite high. Processor bugs don’t fly alone Finding a CPU bug is always satisfying, however it should not be an e... » read more

Blog Review: March 23
By Jesse Allen - 23 Mar, 2022 - Comments: 0

Arm's Ilias Vougioukas presents new ways to improve on virtual to physical memory translation without breaking any of the pre-existing hardware or software. Siemens' Scot Morrison considers the current regulatory landscape for security of medical devices, including how device manufactures need to proactively implement a plan to find, assess, and respond to potential vulnerabilities. Synop... » read more

Embedded AI On L-Series Cores
By Codasip - 23 Mar, 2022 - Comments: 0

Over the last few years there has been an important shift from cloud-level to device-level AI processing. The ability to run AI/ML tasks becomes a must-have when selecting an SoC or MCU for IoT and IIoT applications. Embedded devices are typically resource-constrained, making it difficult to run AI algorithms on embedded platforms. This paper looks at what could make it easier from a softwar... » read more
