Taking Aim At Big Data
By Ed Sperling - 25 Apr, 2013 - Comments: 0

By Ed Sperling As the Internet of Things bridges the gap between the mobile and big data worlds, EDA and IP vendors increasingly are looking well beyond their usual boundaries. How successful they are at moving upward into a market that is far less price-sensitive remains to be seen. But from a technology standpoint, at least, the issues encountered by data centers and cloud providers are ... » read more

The Next Big Thing
By Ed Sperling - 25 Apr, 2013 - Comments: 0

The “next big thing” is always a collection of things—technologies that come together at the right moment to produce a wildly popular new product at a time when the market can consume it, build on it and truly recognize and leverage its value. What’s different about the Internet of Things is that, despite efforts to take control of it, there is no single owner, no company or even gr... » read more

By Ed Sperling System-Level Design, as part of its ongoing executive briefing series, sat down with Wally Rhines, Mentor Graphics' chairman and CEO, to talk about future problems, opportunities, and the gray areas that could go either way. What follows are excerpts of that conversation. SLD: Is the amount of time spent on verification increasing? Rhines: It depends on how you define who s... » read more

The Smartphonification Of Things
By Ann Mutschler - 28 Mar, 2013 - Comments: 0

By Ann Steffora Mutschler The term, ‘Internet of Things,’ was first coined more than a decade ago by technology visionary Kevin Ashton but has slowly trickled down to the world of chip design and is now mentioned constantly in conversation. The reason is simple: System-level design tools are getting sophisticated enough to handle the intricacies required by devices in an Internet of ... » read more

The Business Of Things
By Frank Ferro - 28 Mar, 2013 - Comments: 0

By Frank Ferro The Internet of things (IOT) will create $14 trillion dollars in business opportunities according to Cisco. Unless you are a government accumulating debt, most of us think that’s a big number—and a big opportunity. The much quoted “50 billion connected devices to the Internet by 2020” forecast is the impetus driving companies in all parts of the ecosystem including infra... » read more

Market Realities
By Ed Sperling - 28 Mar, 2013 - Comments: 0

The speculation about EDA’s future—will it consolidate, will it be incorporated into large IDMs or foundries—has surfaced again. The reason this time is that EDA is in a retrenchment period as the semiconductor industry grapples with increasing complexity, multiple options ranging from multi-patterning to stacked die to more third-party IP, and the rising cost of complex SoCs at the mo... » read more

Smarter Things
By Ed Sperling - 28 Feb, 2013 - Comments: 0

By Ed Sperling SoC design has largely been a race to the next process node in accordance with Moore’s Law, but it’s about to take a sharp turn away from that as the Internet of Things becomes more ubiquitous. There has been much made about the Internet of Things over the past couple of years—home networks that involve smart refrigerators sending reminders to consumers that the milk is... » read more

Development Tools Enabling The Internet of Things
By Frank Schirrmeister - 27 Feb, 2013 - Comments: 0

I'm at the Embedded World conference in Nuremberg this week. Yes, between Mobile World Congress in Barcelona and DVCon in San Jose, Calif., I chose Embedded World. Unfettered by unseasonally late snow and bad weather, it turns out this was the right decision. I have not attended this show for a couple of years and am pleased to find that the show has developed quite a bit. There are more than 8... » read more

Making Things Better
By Ed Sperling - 20 Dec, 2012 - Comments: 0

For the better part of the past decade the focus in semiconductor design has been on improving energy efficiency—making batteries last longer and lowering the energy bills for data centers—and continuing to boost performance. The benefits of future engineering efforts may be less obvious. In fact, progress in the future may be measured more against improving what’s already there today ... » read more
