Why Packaging Matters
By Ed Sperling - 19 Nov, 2015 - Comments: 1

The semiconductor package is changing. What was until very recently considered an afterthought is now becoming a key part of the design process at all major chipmakers, and a critical factor in the extension of Moore's Law. This is a sharp reversal of what was almost universally an afterthought in planar silicon design and manufacturing. Rarely was the package an integral part of the archite... » read more

Overcoming The Design Bottleneck
By Brian Bailey - 12 Nov, 2015 - Comments: 0

SoCs control most advanced electronics these days and functionality, quality, power and security are a combination of both hardware and software. All throughout the development of today's complex systems, the memory hierarchy has remained the same—preserving the notion of a continuous computing paradigm. Today, that decision is leading to performance and power issues. There are several rea... » read more

Security Improvements Ahead
By Ed Sperling - 10 Nov, 2015 - Comments: 0

After nearly two years of talking about how security is one of the biggest problems facing the IoE, progress is being made on a number of fronts. The changes involve many companies, both individually and collaboratively through standards groups. And while none of this will stop the kind of high-profile breaches that affected Target or Home Depot or JPMorgan Chase or a long list of other gian... » read more

The Great IoE Race Begins
By Ed Sperling - 05 Nov, 2015 - Comments: 0

Nobody knows how many tens of billions of semiconductors will be used in the IoE, but it's a sure bet it won't be a few chips replicated billions of times. Most IoE devices will need to be customized for specific applications. Many will need to be highly reliable for many years. And all of them will need to be secure and power-efficient. Yet they also will need to connect to heterogeneous ne... » read more

What Markets And Winners Will IoT Produce?
By Brian Derrick - 05 Nov, 2015 - Comments: 0

IoT is trending. However, a consistent definition of IoT can be tough to find in the deluge of marketing, which often overlooks the fact that Internet-connected devices have been around for decades. Many established tech companies have developed and deployed a wide variety of products, both building out the IoT and beginning to define it. Intel in particular has published a slew of excellent vi... » read more

Emerging IoT Applications Require Careful Consideration
By Charlie Cheng - 05 Nov, 2015 - Comments: 1

The Internet of Things (IoT) is creating opportunities in the existing space held by traditional semiconductor applications, typically falling into categories that include industrial, fitness, health and lifestyle to apparel, safety and productivity. But there also are new, inventive devices. In the last several months, we’ve seen the launch of a canine Fitbit, a hybrid dog collar, and dyn... » read more

The Cloud, The IoE, And You
By Ernest Worthman - 05 Nov, 2015 - Comments: 0

If you’re anywhere in the high-tech biz, the two terms that are rocking your world are the Internet of Everything and the Cloud. Whether you are on the inside track of these, or on the sidelines, they are going to be two of the most disruptive technologies of the 21st century. The cloud is already here and gaining momentum. Some people will argue that the cloud has been here since the ince... » read more

SoC Verification For The Internet of Things
By Mentor, a Siemens Business - 04 Nov, 2015 - Comments: 0

Larger, more complex designs with more software and tighter power budgets require new verification solutions that target the associated technological challenges. This paper explores why traditional digital simulation and hardware prototypes fall short when it comes to verifying IoT and network designs, why using emulation is critical for a total verification solution, and why traditional in-cir... » read more
