Security Risk Escalating In 2015
By Ernest Worthman - 04 Jun, 2015 - Comments: 0

Never has there been a more committed effort for malevolent entities to try to leak data, damage infrastructures, and wreak havoc on data essential to our lives. And never has there been a more opportunistic time for the security industry to put their best effort forward and answer the malfeasance challenge. So what is the current state of cyber security? "Unfortunately, there isn’t a l... » read more

Red Tape And Health Care Security
By Ernest Worthman - 04 Jun, 2015 - Comments: 0

The health care industry is still woefully ill-prepared for the Cyber Age. This is a rather dismal assessment, considering that the volume of personal health-related data is an order of magnitude greater than the equivalent data in the financial segment and growing rapidly. Courtesy: Intel The past decade has seen the health-care records industry go electronic. While that may be great f... » read more

Biometrics For The IoT
By Ernest Worthman - 04 Jun, 2015 - Comments: 0

In part one of this topic we started at the top with an overview of biometrics and its base technology. Now, let’s ratchet that up a notch and drill down a bit into some of the details. While biometrics has a lot of potential tools, presently there are only two that are in wide-scale deployment—fingerprint and facial scanning. “Of those two, fingerprints account for 60% to 70% of all a... » read more

The Challenges Of IoT Security
By Simon Blake-Wilson - 04 Jun, 2015 - Comments: 0

In 1903, magician and inventor Nevil Maskelyne disrupted a public demonstration of Marconi's purportedly secure wireless telegraphy technology by sending insulting Morse code messages through the auditorium’s projector. Although Maskelyne’s “Gray Hat” stunt is now only a distant memory, industry experts are still grappling with the challenge of securing new technology well over a ce... » read more

With the launch of UNICEF and ARM's 'Wearables for Good' design challenge, David Maidment digs into the program's details and how unobtrusive wearables and sensor technology benefits not only consumers in affluent countries, but could improve conditions for those in the developing world as well. From an ultracompact beamsplitter that could boost processing power for supercomputers within the... » read more

How Is Your HBM Memory?
By Frank Ferro - 14 May, 2015 - Comments: 0

The seemingly countless applications used every day requiring web access (social media, streaming video, games, etc.) are not only driving the need to store a tremendous amount of data, but also driving the need to access this data with as little delay as possible. Add to this list the growing number of connected devices (IoT), and you can see why changes in the data center are needed, in parti... » read more

Rethinking Power
By Ed Sperling - 14 May, 2015 - Comments: 0

Power typically has been the last factor to be considered in the PPA equation, and it usually was somebody else's problem. Increasingly it's everyone's problem, and EDA companies are beginning to look at power differently than in the past. While the driving forces vary by market and by process node, the need to save energy at every node and in almost all designs is pervasive. In the server m... » read more

Capturing Performance
By Ann Mutschler - 14 May, 2015 - Comments: 0

The challenge of working out the best performance for a given power budget is not a new one, but in many power-sensitive applications, the balance is tricky and requires sophisticated techniques. This is especially true in the media processor market where many systems companies are held back by power, energy and thermal issues. “It's really not a battery problem, it's a thermal problem... » read more

Blog Review: May 13

From corralling graphene electrons to the wild west of space, this week's top five from Ansys' Bill Vandermark reaches from the tiny to the immense. This summer, an asteroid mining firm plans to deploy a satellite to seek out mineral-rich space rocks. But someday, when mining asteroids is a commonplace affair, it may be archeologists who are doing the digging on distant planets. Could a smar... » read more
