Blog Review: April 28
By Jesse Allen - 28 Apr, 2021 - Comments: 0

Arm's Tiago Azevedo explains why it's important to measure uncertainty when using object detection, especially in critical applications such as automotive, and introduces a architecture that can do so while balancing complexity and efficiency. Cadence's Paul McLellan digs into the ISO 21434 standard for addressing and managing cybersecurity risks in vehicles and why it's a good sign for secu... » read more

New Methodologies Create New Opportunities
By Brian Bailey - 27 Apr, 2021 - Comments: 0

Experts at the Table: Semiconductor Engineering sat down to discuss what open source verification means today and what it should evolve into, with Jean-Marie Brunet, senior director for the Emulation Division at Siemens EDA; Ashish Darbari, CEO of Axiomise; Simon Davidmann, CEO of Imperas Software; Serge Leef, program manager in the Microsystems Technology Office at DARPA; Tao Liu, staff hardwa... » read more

The Verification Mindset
By Ann Mutschler - 26 Apr, 2021 - Comments: 2

The practice of semiconductor verification has changed substantially over the years, and will continue to do so. The skillset needed for functional verification 20 years ago is hardly recognizable as a verification skillset today, and the same should be expected moving forward as design and verification becomes more abstract, the boundary of what is implemented in hardware versus firmware and s... » read more

Week In Review: Design, Low Power

Skyworks Solutions will acquire Silicon Labs' Infrastructure & Automotive (I&A) business for $2.75 billion cash. The transaction includes Silicon Labs' power/isolation, timing and broadcast products, intellectual property, and approximately 350 employees. Silicon Labs said it will focus on its IoT business, which includes integrated hardware and software wireless platforms for multiple ... » read more

Week In Review: Auto, Security, Pervasive Computing
By SE Staff - 23 Apr, 2021 - Comments: 0

Automotive & transportation Chip shortages continue to affect automotive production lines and the bottom line of automotive OEMs. Jaguar Land Rover and Daimler this week said they will reduce production because chip supply issues. Other car companies have or are planning to temporarily shut down production lines. Renault, GM, Ford, Fiat Chrysler (now Stellantis), Volkswagen, Nissan, and Ho... » read more

Putting Limits On What AI Systems Can Do
By Ed Sperling - 22 Apr, 2021 - Comments: 0

New techniques and approaches are starting to be applied to AI and machine learning to ensure they function within acceptable parameters, only doing what they're supposed to do. Getting AI/ML/DL systems to work has been one of the biggest leaps in technology in recent years, but understanding how to control and optimize them as they adapt isn't nearly as far along. These systems are generall... » read more

Merging Verification And Test
By Brian Bailey - 22 Apr, 2021 - Comments: 0

While the disciplines of functional verification and test serve different purposes, their histories were once closely intertwined. Recent safety and security monitoring requirements coupled with capabilities being embedded into devices is bringing them closer together again, but can they successfully cooperate to bring about improvements in both? Getting there may be difficult. Three phases ... » read more

RISC-V Targets Data Centers
By Ann Mutschler - 22 Apr, 2021 - Comments: 0

RISC-V vendors are beginning to aim much higher in the compute hierarchy, targeting data centers and supercomputers rather than just simple embedded applications on the edge. In the past, this would have been nearly impossible for a new instruction set architecture. But a growing focus on heterogeneous chip integration, combined with the reduced benefits of scaling and increasing demand for ... » read more

What Is Silicon Lifecycle Management? A Strategic Imperative
By Aileen Ryan - 22 Apr, 2021 - Comments: 0

The recent buzz about silicon lifecycle management speaks to the boom in high-stakes electronic devices. Whether it is an SoC used in a vehicle or in the datacenter, there are compelling reasons to monitor and analyze data regarding the design, realization, deployment, and field service of the device. While silicon lifecycle management is an emerging paradigm in the semiconductor industry, i... » read more

Enabling The Next Step In IC Test And Monitoring
By Siemens EDA - 21 Apr, 2021 - Comments: 0

Product lifecycle management (PLM) is a well-established concept across many industries that aims to manage the entire lifecycle of a product from inception through design, realization, deployment, and field service, right through to end-of-life activities such as final disposal. More recently, these principles are being applied by the semiconductor industry because electronics continue to p... » read more
