Reducing Time To Market For Security Solutions

By Udi Maor - 01 Nov, 2018 - Comments: 0

Security is now a common feature on most mobile devices, from fingerprint scanners to face ID. However, despite its widespread adoption, the time-to-market for developing security solutions still remains a challenge for OEMs, silicon providers (SiPs) and developers. Some of the most notable obstacles include: the availability of fully integrated security solutions incorporating existing IP, arc... » read more

Verification Trends Enabling A 5G Future

By Frank Schirrmeister - 23 Aug, 2018 - Comments: 0

Applications have driven requirements for verification for quite some time now, as I have written previously regarding Aero & Defense, AI and Machine Learning and the Internet of Things. In wireless communication, we are just at the brink of the transition to Fifth Generation Networks, or 5G. This transition will not only lead to new applications and use models that will impact our day-to-d... » read more

Five Features Of The ‘Always-On’ Mobile Experience

By Jakub Lamik - 17 Jul, 2018 - Comments: 0

Today’s technology consumers – labeled as the ‘always on, always connected’ generation – are some of the most demanding when it comes to what they expect from their devices for work and play. Not only do consumers want devices that are able to manage their multiple demands on the go – from mobile gaming to video streaming – but they also want devices to work continuously without t... » read more

7nm Design Challenges

By Ed Sperling - 09 Jul, 2018 - Comments: 0

Ty Garibay, CTO at ArterisIP, talks about the challenges of moving to 7nm, who’s likely to head there, how long it will take to develop chips at that node, and why it will be so expensive. This also raises questions about whether chips will begin to disaggregate at 7nm and 5nm. https://youtu.be/ZqCAbH678GE » read more

The Week In Review: Design

By Jesse Allen - 01 Jun, 2018 - Comments: 0

Tools Real Intent launched Verix SimFix, an intent-driven verification solution for gate-level simulation (GLS) of digital designs designed to eliminate X-pessimism. SimFix uses mathematical methods to identify conditions under which pessimism can occur, and to determine the correct value when those conditions occur. It then generates files to use in simulation that detect and correct pessimis... » read more

The Future Of Mobile PC Is Here

By Sriram Ragunathan - 10 May, 2018 - Comments: 0

The smartphone has fundamentally changed the way other types of computing devices are being designed. Focus on energy-efficient compute, portable form factor, long battery life, and connectivity has spread far wider than just the smartphone in your hand. Nowhere has this design influence been more significant than in the area of notebook PC. The era we are just now entering is that of th... » read more
