ARM's Eoin McCann provides a primer to software-defined networking, which uses a higher level of abstraction to create a centralized controller. This is a new twist on networking—with a bit of deja vu thrown in. Mentor's Matthew Ballance points to a perfect storm for verification—shrinking features, more layers and more embedded processors. He has some tips for how to deal with all of t... » read more

More Things Are Critical Systems
By Ed Sperling - 10 Nov, 2014 - Comments: 0

Defining a critical system used to be pretty obvious. It was something that could affect the health and safety of people, such as the chip inside a pacemaker or insulin pump, a car's braking system or an airplane's guidance system. But as more devices are connected together, that definition is changing and expanding. More devices are now considered critical, such as a connected baby monitor ... » read more

IoT Turns To Dust
By Ernest Worthman - 10 Nov, 2014 - Comments: 0

The current thinking for the [getkc id="76" comment="Internet of Things"] is that a single or bi-directional interface will be attached to just about everything. It will be an amalgamation of hardware and software that will sense whatever we want, assess it anyway we want, and send it anywhere we want—or where someone else wants. "There has probably never been a more exciting time to work ... » read more

Designing For Energy Efficiency
By Ed Sperling - 06 Nov, 2014 - Comments: 0

Swiss watchmakers have nothing to worry about for the moment. As top-name companies crowd into the wearable market with full-featured watches, limits on battery life and frequent charges undoubtedly will limit their popularity. Smart watches look cool or clunky, depending upon your perspective, but none of them lasts long enough between charges to be a serious market contender. That's certai... » read more

Data Center Power Consumption: What Effect Does Memory Have?
By Loren Shalinsky - 06 Nov, 2014 - Comments: 1

Data Centers now account for 3% of the worldwide power consumption, up from an estimated 1.5% just a few years ago. Data centers have been getting more efficient, but the efficiency has been hidden by the large growth in the number of data centers. The question that was recently posed to me: What effect does memory have on data center power consumption? I’ll cut straight to the chase. T... » read more

What is UX? The User Experience, of course. Rambus' Aharon Etengoff notes that the IoT UX is now the subject of a Harvard Business Review article. A long list of hurdles are expected at the 10nm process node, including multiple levels of local interconnects, more complex layout rules, timing problems, and a slew of others. Cadence's Richard Goering puts it all in perspective. Mentor's R... » read more
