Creating Software Separation For Mixed Criticality Systems

By Mentor, a Siemens Business - 20 Dec, 2017 - Comments: 0

The continued evolution of powerful embedded processors is enabling more functionality to be consolidated into single heterogeneous multicore devices. Mixed criticality designs, those designs which contain both safety-critical and non-safety critical processes, can successfully leverage these devices and meet the regulatory requirements for IEC safety standards and the highest level of ISO.

Chipmakers Look To New Materials

By Jeff Dorsch - 18 Dec, 2017 - Comments: 1

Graphene, the wonder material rediscovered in 2004, and a host of other two-dimensional materials are gaining ground in manufacturing semiconductors as silicon’s usefulness begins to fade. And while there are a number of compounds in use already, such as gallium arsenide, gallium nitride, and silicon carbide, those materials generally are being confined to specific niche applications. Tran... » read more

Security Issues Up With Heterogeneity

By Ann Mutschler - 05 Jun, 2017 - Comments: 0

The race toward heterogeneous designs is raising new security concerns across the semiconductor supply chain. There is more IP to track, more potential for unexpected interactions, and many more ways to steal data or IP. Security is a difficult problem no matter what kind of chip is involved, and it has been getting worse as more devices, machines and systems are connected to the Internet. B... » read more
