2017: Manufacturing And Markets


While the industry is busy chatting about the end of Moore's Law and a maturing of the semiconductor industry, the top minds of many companies are having none of it. A slowdown in one area is just an opportunity, in another and that is reflected in the predictions for this year. As in previous years, Semiconductor Engineering will look back on these predictions at the end of the year to see ... » read more

Tools For Heterogeneous System Development


System architects look to both heterogeneous and homogeneous computing when there are no other options available, but the current thinking is that a system-level software methodology could simplify the design, ease integration of various blocks, and potentially improve performance for less power. While the theory appears sound enough, implementing it has turned out to be harder than expected. ... » read more

Solving Einstein’s Riddle Using Formal Verification


Attention all Sherlockians in the semiconductor industry! OneSpin Solutions challenges you to take on Einstein’s Riddle Intelligence Test below and spend the holidays puzzling it out, using the brand of formal verification software of your choosing. Three remote-controlled flying drones will be awarded to the three fastest solutions to the riddle that execute correctly on OneSpin’s DV-Ve... » read more

Overcoming The Limits Of Scaling

Emulation’s Footprint Grows


It wasn't that many years ago that [getkc id="30" comment="emulation"] was an expensive tool available to only a few, but it has since become indispensable for a growing number of companies. One obvious reason is the growing size of designs and the inability of [getkc id="11" kc_name="simulation"] to keep up. But emulation also has been going through a number of transformations that have made i... » read more
