By Ed Sperling - 09 Oct, 2019 - Comments: 0

Doug Elder, vice president and general manager of OptimalPlus, talks about what’s changing in the storage and collection, including using data lakes and data engineering to break down silos and get data into a consistent format, and why it’s essential to define data up front based upon how quickly it needs to be accessed, as well as who actually owns the data. » read more

Testing Against Changing Standards In Automotive
By Ed Sperling and Kevin Fogarty - 08 Oct, 2019 - Comments: 0

The infusion of more semiconductor content into cars is raising the bar on reliability and changing the way chips are designed, verified and tested, but it also is raising a lot of questions about whether companies are on the right track at any point in time. Concerns about liability are rampant with autonomous and assisted driving, so standards are being rolled out well in advance of the te... » read more

Virtually every vehicle manufacturer in the world is either developing, purchasing, or investing in ADAS systems in order to bring autonomous vehicles into the market. With this demand on the rise, the need for high quality automotive camera modules is rising. ADAS systems are built using computer vision technology and act as the “eyes” of autonomous vehicles. Numerous cameras are embedd... » read more

How Hardware Can Bias AI Data
By Ed Sperling - 10 Sep, 2019 - Comments: 1

Clean data is essential to good results in AI and machine learning, but data can become biased and less accurate at multiple stages in its lifetime—from moment it is generated all the way through to when it is processed—and it can happen in ways that are not always obvious and often difficult to discern. Blatant data corruption produces erroneous results that are relatively easy to ident... » read more

There is a lot of hype surrounding “Industry 4.0,” “Smart Manufacturing,” “the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT),” and other associated terms, but it all boils down to one question: How do I become a data-driven manufacturer? Companies strive to be data driven, realizing that decisions will be more objective and more likely to achieve the desired results. In fact, many compani... » read more

More Semiconductor Data Moving To Cloud
By Ed Sperling - 06 Aug, 2019 - Comments: 0

The cloud is booming. After years of steady growth it has begun to spike, creating new options for design, test, analytics and AI, all of which have an impact on every segment of the semiconductor industry. The initial idea behind the cloud is that it would supplement processing done on premises, adding extra processing power wherever necessary, such as in the verification and debug stages o... » read more

Using Better Data To Shorten Test Time
