Tokenization Beyond Payments
By Rambus - 04 Apr, 2018 - Comments: 0

Tokenization is a process by which sensitive data is replaced with unique identification credentials that retain all essential information about the data without exposing said sensitive data to attacks. While traditional payment methods pass critical identification information through several points, tokenization minimizes the amount of data a business needs to keep on hand. Becoming popular wi... » read more

How To Choose The Right Memory
By Ann Mutschler - 02 Apr, 2018 - Comments: 0

When it comes to designing memory, there is no such thing as one size fits all. And given the long list of memory types and usage scenarios, system architects must be absolutely clear on the system requirements for their application. A first decision is whether or not to put the memory on the logic die as part of the SoC, or keep it as off-chip memory. "The tradeoff between latency and th... » read more

Mentor's Joe Hupcey III and Jin Hou explain how to use the Open Verification Language (OVL) library of assertions to build an effective formal testbench. In a video, Cadence's Marc Greenberg discusses the benefits of moving non-volatile memory from the SSD to the DDR bus and possible new storage-class memories. Synopsys' Anders Nordstrom argues that security can no longer be ignored when ... » read more

When AI Goes Awry
By Ed Sperling - 26 Mar, 2018 - Comments: 0

The race is on to develop intelligent systems that can drive cars, diagnose and treat complex medical conditions, and even train other machines. The problem is that no one is quite sure how to diagnose latent or less-obvious flaws in these systems—or better yet, to prevent them from occurring in the first place. While machines can do some things very well, it's still up to humans to devise... » read more

IIoT Security Threat Rising
By Kevin Fogarty - 14 Mar, 2018 - Comments: 0

The rapid growth of the Industrial Internet of Things is raising questions about just how secure these systems are today, how to improve security, and who exactly should be responsible for that. These issues are interlaced with a shift in where a growing volume of data gets processed, the cost and speed of moving large amounts of data, and the increasing frequency and cost of attacks. "Di... » read more

Why All Nodes Won’t Work
By Ed Sperling - 08 Mar, 2018 - Comments: 4

A flood of new nodes, half-nodes and every number in between is creating confusion among chipmakers. While most say it's good to have choices, it's not clear which or how many of those choices are actually good. At issue is which [getkc id="43" kc_name="IP"] will be available for those nodes, how that IP will differ from other nodes in terms of power, performance, area and sensitivity to a v... » read more

How AI Impacts Memory Systems
By Steven Woo - 08 Mar, 2018 - Comments: 0

Throughout the 1980’s and early 1990’s computer systems were bottlenecked by relatively slow CPU performance, thereby limiting what applications could do. Driven by Moore’s Law, transistor counts increased significantly over the years, improving system performance and enabling exciting new computing possibilities. Although computing capabilities have advanced significantly in recen... » read more
