A Different Kind Of Design
By Ed Sperling - 16 Sep, 2011 - Comments: 0

Intel’s announcements at the Intel Developer Forum this week that it will be creating physically smaller packages that can run on far less energy raises some interesting questions about the future of all design. We’ve become accustomed to one-chip implementations, whether that’s a monolithic processor or an SoC with lots of processors. In the future, though, there may be multiple chips, a... » read more

The Big Picture
By Ed Sperling - 22 Jul, 2011 - Comments: 0

Business is booming for the makers of processors. Intel posted its five consecutive record quarter, AMD turned a profit, Tensilica shipped its billionth DSP, ARM and MIPS are both reporting strong earnings. So what’s changed? There are several distinct trends driving this upbeat mood: The replacement cycle. After years of putting off purchases through a prolonged and deep downturn, com... » read more

Design For Power Methodology
By Ed Sperling - 21 Jul, 2011 - Comments: 0

By Ann Steffora Mutschler It is rare to find an advanced chip today that has not been designed considering power from the very earliest point. In fact, it is safe to say that power is the No. 1 priority, or a close No. 2. But to achieve the highest performance for a low-power design, a design-for-power methodology is necessary, comprised of the capabilities to implement power in the most ef... » read more

The Impact Of Triple Play
By Ed Sperling - 12 May, 2011 - Comments: 0

By Ann Steffora Mutschler Not so long ago there were multiple networks that supported different kinds of traffic—a telecommunications network based on high-reliability protocols, the Internet for burst-centric data traffic and video distribution networks. From the consumer standpoint that was highly inefficient. Managing three subscriptions from three service providers was unnecessary, w... » read more

Mobile Applications Drive New Architectures
By Ed Sperling - 28 Apr, 2011 - Comments: 0

By Pallab Chatterjee The push toward mobility in consumer devices is having an impact on the entire component flow. Mobile devices are dominated by two key factors—an overriding power constraint and very high data bandwidth. The power constraints are on the mobile device side and on the cloud-based support server side. The high data bandwidth issues are due to the limited processing powe... » read more

SoC Ecosystems Become More Tightly Integrated
By Ed Sperling - 28 Apr, 2011 - Comments: 0

By Ed Sperling SoC ecosystems are changing. Quality and focus are replacing volumes of names as companies that fund them begin to narrow down which partners add the most value and which markets they need to target. Establishing a ring of allies is nothing new, of course. IBM had its circle of most trusted software partners back in the 1970s when mainframes were the dominant computing platfo... » read more

The Quest For A Better IP Integration Methodology
By Ed Sperling - 31 Mar, 2011 - Comments: 0

By Ed Sperling With the amount of IP in SoC designs now hitting an estimated 70% to 90%, companies are scrambling to figure out a way to more consistently integrate that IP and to test that it will work as expected. This is easier said than done, however, for a number of reasons: There are numerous types of IP, ranging from I/O to logic and memory. Not all IP is of equal quality. ... » read more
