Security The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) in August held the finals of its Cyber Grand Challenge, a competition that came down to seven teams in Las Vegas, with the three winning teams sharing cash prizes totaling $3.75 million. The capture-the-flag style contest let cybersecurity software counter various attacks on its own, without the aid of engineers and programmers. Th... » read more

Testing the Big Bang of Smart Devices
By NI - 19 Oct, 2016 - Comments: 0

Thanks to the proliferation of smart devices in the Internet of Things (IoT), it’s a circumstance not unlike the overwhelming sense of wonder and bewilderment that ancient Greek astronomer Ptolemy must have felt when gazing up at a sky full of stars on a clear winter’s night, trying to rationalize the vast tableau before him. But just as we wouldn’t critique early astronomers and philo... » read more

Memory Kilopass Technology uncorked its new eNVM, which includes vertical layered thyristor DRAM technology. The key advantages, according to the company, is that it eliminates the need for DRAM refresh, can be manufactured using existing processes, and improves power and area efficiency. A full memory test chip is currently in the early stages of testing. A thyristor is basically a latch tech... » read more

From The Data Center To The Mobile Edge
By Steven Woo - 13 Oct, 2016 - Comments: 0

At the heart of the Internet of Things is the complex interplay between the needs for both low power and high performance (LPHP), a perplexing challenge rooted in the de-facto bifurcation of the IoT itself. For example, lower power mobile devices, systems and lite endpoints make up the vast majority of forward-facing consumer infrastructure, while high-performance servers at the back end are ta... » read more

Balancing Performance And Energy Consumption For IoT Applications Processors
By Angela Raucher - 13 Oct, 2016 - Comments: 0

Processor requirements in IoT applications continue to grow to support more human interaction. Functions such as detecting speech and faces or delivering a voice message are being added to existing tasks the processors already perform such as system communication and control. Since these applications operate from batteries with defined size and life expectations, not only is the energy consumpt... » read more

Rethinking Verification For Cars
By Ann Mutschler - 12 Oct, 2016 - Comments: 0

New tools, approaches, and methodologies are in various stages of development and deployment under the umbrella of functional safety, as more electronics find their way into cars, medical devices and industrial applications. As shown in part one, verification needs to be rethought for these applications. Underneath the umbrella will be ways of doing negative testing, ways of categorizing, an... » read more

IoT Has Always Been With Us
By Jeff Dorsch - 10 Oct, 2016 - Comments: 0

By most accounts, Kevin Ashton of the Auto-ID Center at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology coined the term “the Internet of Things” in 1999, referring to a system of ubiquitous sensors connecting the Internet with the physical world. We were well into the 21st century before the Internet of Things, as a marketing term or a short description of a certain technology, came to be wide... » read more

Where Are The IoT Industry Standards?
By Jeff Dorsch - 10 Oct, 2016 - Comments: 0

Are you ready for some Internet of Things standards? Good, because you can help make them. The IoT is proceeding apace as a business, eagerly embraced by such corporate behemoths as Cisco Systems, General Electric, IBM, and Verizon Communications. What’s lacking is the codification of industry standards for the IoT, as many companies have aligned with groups that have competing agendas and... » read more

DDoS Attacks Highlight Need For IoT Security
By Asaf Ashkenazi - 06 Oct, 2016 - Comments: 0

A massive wave of distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks executed against security researchers and hosting companies has captured headlines over the past few weeks. For example, OVH was targeted by two concurrent DDoS attacks at a combined bandwidth of almost 1 terabit per second, with one attack peaking at 799Gbps. According to reports, the attacks centered on Minecraft servers hosted... » read more
