Synopsys' Scott Durrant considers the IP used in HPC SoCs and the efforts to simultaneously minimize data movement and maximize the speed at which data is transferred from one location to another, whether that data transfer is across long distances or from one chip to another within a server. Cadence's Paul McLellan looks into a new version of the Rowhammer DRAM vulnerability that can allow ... » read more

Week In Review: Design, Low Power
By Jesse Allen - 27 Aug, 2021 - Comments: 0

The UK's Competition and Markets Authority is raising new challenges for Nvidia's proposed acquisition of Arm, suggesting in a new report that an in-depth Phase 2 investigation into the deal is warranted on competition grounds. Andrea Coscelli, chief executive of the CMA, said, “We’re concerned that Nvidia controlling Arm could create real problems for Nvidia's rivals by limiting their acce... » read more

Security Infineon Technologies is coordinating a group of twelve partners, including researchers, electronics industry, and end users, who are working to find and fix IoT security flaws. The research project, called “Design methods and hardware/software co-verification for the unique identifiability of electronic components” falls under VE-VIDES, which is part of the Trustworthy Electronic... » read more

Has Computational Storage Finally Arrived?
By Andy Patrizio - 11 Aug, 2021 - Comments: 2

The idea behind computational storage is not new. It’s just that like so many concepts, the idea has been well ahead of the technology. In a nutshell, computational storage brings processing power to the storage level. It eliminates the need to load data from the storage system into memory for processing. Moving data between storage and compute resources is inefficient and computational sy... » read more

Arm's Rahul Mathur finds that traditional interconnects have become a bottleneck for improving IC performance and suggests buried interconnects as a way to lower signal routing delay. Cadence's Paul McLellan checks out forksheet FETs, a new transistor type that could allow scaling past 3nm, and the interconnect advances that will need to accompany it. A Synopsys writer explains the new LP... » read more

Automotive SGS-TÜV Saar certified that Cadence’s Tensilica Xtensa processors with FlexLock meets the ISO 26262:2018 standard to ASIL-D level. The new FlexLock feature is key to the certification because it supports lockstep, a fault-tolerant method that runs the same operation on two cores at the same time and then compares the output. Any difference in the output can be examined for issues... » read more

Siemens EDA's Wei-Lii Tan considers the tradeoffs when running library characterization in the cloud and how to think about running CPUs in parallel, the cost of throughput, and runtime reductions. A Synopsys writer checks out the reduced blanking feature in HDMI 2.1, which can help reduce the transmission rate while keeping the resolution and refresh rate intact for higher resolution displa... » read more
