Getting A Standard Right The First Time
By Brian Bailey - 02 Oct, 2017 - Comments: 3

The development of standards is a tricky balance, especially when going into areas that are nascent. The [getentity id="22863" e_name="Portable Stimulus Standard"] (PSS), being developed within [getentity id="22028" e_name="Accellera"] is one of those. This could be the most important standard since [gettech id="31017" comment="Verilog"] and [gettech id="31040" comment="VHDL"]. And if there ... » read more

LiDAR Market Continues To Percolate

The semiconductor industry is revving up its present and future contributions to advanced driver-assistance systems and autonomous driving. Those areas represent tremendous growth opportunities for chips, modules, and software going into automotive electronics. There’s also the development of artificial intelligence and machine learning applications in automotive design, which are brand new c... » read more

Using Machine Learning In EDA
By Ann Mutschler - 02 Aug, 2017 - Comments: 0

Machine learning is beginning to have an impact on the EDA tools business, cutting the cost of designs by allowing tools to suggest solutions to common problems that would take design teams weeks or even months to work through. This reduces the cost of designs. It also potentially expands the market for EDA tools, opening the door to even new design starts and more chips from more compan... » read more

The Secret Life Of Accelerators
By Ed Sperling - 27 Jul, 2017 - Comments: 0

Accelerator chips increasingly are providing the performance boost that device scaling once provided, changing basic assumptions about how data moves within an electronic system and where it should be processed. To the outside world, little appears to have changed. But beneath the glossy exterior, and almost always hidden from view, accelerator chips are becoming an integral part of most des... » read more
