IP’s Ecosystem Race
By Ann Mutschler - 22 Apr, 2010 - Comments: 0

By Ann Steffora Mutschler As the semiconductor industry moves from older manufacturing nodes to newer ones what users want from IP providers is changing. So is the way IP providers are answering those needs. Mirroring the broader semiconductor industry’s recognition that it’s simply too expensive, too difficult and too time consuming to do everything alone—the very basis of the IP sec... » read more

Low-Power Architectures Go Mainstream
By Pallab Chatterjee - 14 Jan, 2010 - Comments: 0

By Pallab Chatterjee Until recently, low power engineering has been defined by the automated use of EDA tools in the design flow to help cut back on peak dynamic power. The new generation of mobile and video products has forced a change in that methodology. There are two other fast rising architectural approaches. The first is multicore, which is prevalent in new product introductions fr... » read more

Differentiating Embedded Processors
By Ed Sperling - 10 Dec, 2009 - Comments: 0

By Ann Steffora Mutschler The embedded processor world addresses a vast range of applications – from the datacenter to the biomedical device – all of which have critical power needs that vary with the use. Power concerns continue to dominate the embedded system whether it is avoid a noisy fan in a TV set-top box, allow video on a mobile phone or minimize pricey cooling costs in the datac... » read more

Power Trip Advisor
By Ed Sperling - 12 Nov, 2009 - Comments: 0

By Geoffrey James There’s never been a greater demand for power-efficient silicon. As consumer electronic devices get smaller, with increased functionality, battery power becomes a premium resource. At the same time, “Green IT” is a major corporate trend, and the best way to be environmentally sensitive (while saving on energy costs) is to buy technology that ekes the maximum computing o... » read more

When It Comes To Intellectual Property, Size Matters
By Various Writers - 19 Aug, 2009 - Comments: 0

By Geoffrey James Intellectual property was once seen as the new growth market for EDA. Dozens of firms – large and small – jumped on the IP bandwagon, attracted to the “build once, sell many times” business model. “As late as 2004, the industry was still thinking that as much as 90% of SoCs would be reused IP,” said EDA consultant Gary Smith. The IP segment, however, hasn�... » read more
