Near-Threshold Computing
By Brian Bailey - 16 Jun, 2016 - Comments: 2

The emergence of the Internet of Things (IoT) has brought a lot of attention to the need for extremely low-power design, and this in turn has increased the pressure for voltage reduction. In the past, each new process node shrunk the feature size and lowered the nominal operating voltage. This resulted in a drop in power consumption. However, the situation changed at about 90nm in two ways. ... » read more

Big Data Meets Chip Design
By Ann Mutschler - 16 Jun, 2016 - Comments: 0

The amount of data being handled in chip design is growing significantly at each new node, prompting chipmakers to begin using some of the same concepts, technologies and algorithms used in data centers at companies such as Google, Facebook and GE. While the total data sizes in chip design are still relatively small compared with cloud operations—terabytes per year versus petabytes and exa... » read more

Cloud Computing Best Practices For Engineering IoT
By Ansys - 15 Jun, 2016 - Comments: 0

Industry analysts forecast the creation of billions of “Internet of Things” (IoT) devices by 2020, and that these devices will produce huge amounts of data. Although some companies can manage and process all this data using their own proprietary solutions, the majority of companies don’t have the capability to deploy a complete infrastructure and may prefer outsourcing to a cloud provider... » read more

How To Build Systems In Package
By Ed Sperling - 15 Jun, 2016 - Comments: 0

The semiconductor industry is racing to define a series of road maps for semiconductors to succeed the one created by the ITRS, which will no longer be updated, including a brand new one focused on heterogeneous integration. The latest entry will establish technology targets for integration of heterogeneous multi-die devices and systems. It has the support of IEEE's Components, Packaging and... » read more

It will continue to expand fr... » read more

DAC Day One: EDA Through Different Glasses
By Brian Bailey - 06 Jun, 2016 - Comments: 1

DAC is back in Austin after being away for three years. The weather improved for our arrival after the bad thunderstorms of the past couple of weeks. The sun came out and started to heat everything up. With water still pooling around the place, it was somewhat humorous to see a bus pass with the slogan "Think about Austin without water." DAC starts, as it always has in my memory, with a pres... » read more

Taiwan’s annual Computex trade show, celebrating its 35th anniversary this year, opened this week, and the Internet of Things is among the focus areas of the exhibition. Tsai Ing-wen, the new president of Taiwan, said at the opening ceremony, “The IoT era is coming strong. Taiwan must focus on the integration of hardware and software along with low-volume, high-variety manufacturing capabil... » read more

Pivot Is The New Watchword For Design Automation
By Lucio Lanza - 03 Jun, 2016 - Comments: 0

Design Automation has been a crucial part of the semiconductor industry for more than 30 years. Without it, keeping up with Moore’s Law would have been impossible. The Design Automation industry accepted the high-risk responsibility for developing the sophisticated software and algorithms at the pace necessary to corral Moore’s Law. In a sense, Design Automation had its own Moore’s la... » read more
