Software-Defined Hardware Architectures
By Brian Bailey - 31 May, 2023 - Comments: 0

Hardware/software co-design has been a goal for several decades, but success has been limited. More recently, progress has been made in optimizing a processor as well as the addition of accelerators for a given software workload. While those two techniques can produce incredible gains, it is not enough. With increasing demands being placed on all types of processing, single-processor solutio... » read more

Former Apple engineer Weibao Wang was indicted for stealing Apple’s autonomous vehicle hardware and software IP and giving the information to Chinese competitors. Among other items, authorities said they found source code for the project on the engineer’s personal laptop, which was seized at his home. Wang fled to China the same day a search warrant was executed. This is one of five cases b... » read more

LPDDR Flash In Automotive
By Ed Sperling - 15 May, 2023 - Comments: 0

New automotive architectures are raising challenges for how to utilize memory effectively and efficiently. An LPDDR interface for flash allows different processors to utilize multiple banks of flash memory, which in turn reduces latency and interference. Sandeep Krishnegawda, vice president of marketing and applications at Infineon, talks about the new zonal controllers in automotive design and... » read more

Designing Crash-Proof Autonomous Vehicles
By John Koon - 10 May, 2023 - Comments: 0

Autonomous vehicles keep crashing into things, even though ADAS technology promises to make driving safer because machines can think and react faster than human drivers. Humans rely on seeing and hearing to assess driving conditions. When drivers detect objects in front of the vehicle, the automatic reaction is to slam on the brakes or swerve to avoid them. Quite often drivers cannot react q... » read more
