IP-XACT Becoming More Useful
By Ed Sperling - 01 Oct, 2013 - Comments: 0

Accellera created analog/mixed signal extensions to the IEEE IP-XACT standard, and the standards group will recommend an update to the overall standard later this year to make it more useful for IP integration. IP-XACT has been considered a great idea since its introduction in 2009 because it allows IP makers to add metadata to their IP—information needed to integrate it into complex desig... » read more

More Than Data Management

By Ann Steffora Mutschler Managing the people, the data and the technology are just as important as meeting the market window given that without these, the entire project wouldn’t function. Throw huge data set sizes, different cultures and business management issues into the mix and the challenges are many. Fortunately, these are issues that the semiconductor industry has been refining for ... » read more

Open IP Development Tools
By Various Writers - 29 Nov, 2012 - Comments: 0

By Pascal Chauvet How much time have you wasted trying to understand software tools by deciphering the logic of their creator? I always find it very frustrating to be limited by features and tool capabilities that do not do exactly what I want, or which do not work at all with my other applications. We are engineers! We can learn and adapt, but we often want to be able to extend and improve th... » read more

The Growing Integration Challenge
By Ed Sperling - 08 Nov, 2012 - Comments: 0

By Ed Sperling As the number of processors and the amount of memory and IP on a chip continues to skyrocket, so does the challenge for integrating all of this stuff on a single die—or even multiple dies in the same package. There are a number of reasons why it’s getting more difficult to make all of these IP blocks work together. First of all, nothing ever stands still in design. As a r... » read more

Connecting IP Blocks
By Ann Mutschler - 07 Oct, 2010 - Comments: 0

Is there a standard way to hook up specifically low-power IP blocks today? For all intents and purposes, no. Before even talking about IP interoperability in terms of power, Philippe Magarshack, general manager of central CAD and design solutions at STMicroelectronics asserted those IPs must be hooked up correctly functionally and in a productive and safe way. He said ST is forging ahead ... » read more

Connecting The Pieces
By Ann Mutschler - 24 Jun, 2010 - Comments: 0

By Ann Steffora Mutschler With the amount of IP blocks being integrated in SoCs today – in some cases as many as 100 blocks in a single chip – SoC design methodologies are shifting to address the new challenges this complexity brings. The good news is that these integration challenges has put the spotlight on the issues—along with the skyrocketing development costs for the creation, qual... » read more
