Architecture Of Data In The IoT
By Frank Ferro - 21 Apr, 2014 - Comments: 0

It’s clear that the Internet of Things (IoT) is no longer just a visionary concept. It’s on the verge of becoming a new reality. But this new reality is heavily dependent on the ability of an infrastructure to capture, secure and move data across networks. Given the tremendous amount of data that already surrounds us, this emerging paradigm will enable us to not just track and measure,... » read more

Power Moves Up To First Place
By Ed Sperling - 10 Apr, 2014 - Comments: 2

Virtually every presentation delivered about semiconductor design or manufacturing these days—and every end product specification that uses advanced technology—incorporates some reference to power and/or energy. It has emerged as the most persistent, most problematic, and certainly the most talked about issue from conception to marketplace adoption. And the conversation only grows louder... » read more

Pain Management
By Ed Sperling - 10 Apr, 2014 - Comments: 0

In part one of this series, the focus was on overlapping and new pain points in the semiconductor flow, from initial conception of what needs to be in a chip all the way through to manufacturing. Part two looks at how companies are attempting to manage that pain. It’s no secret that [getkc id="81" kc_name="SoC"]s are getting more complicated to design, debug and build, but the complexity i... » read more

Mentor’s Nazita Saye compares roadway roundabouts to networked systems. One roundabout works fine, but add in a bunch of them and you have a massive traffic jam. How many roundabouts are in your design? Cadence’s Richard Goering interviews Stan Kroliskoski, chair of the IEEE Design Automation Standards Committee, about four working groups on EDA standards and what’s ahead. Speaking ... » read more

Tools Synopsys rolled out a major new release of its place and route tool, the centerpiece of its physical design platform, offering up to 10X improvement in speed—a combination of 5X faster implementation and 2X larger capacity. Co-CEO Aart de Geus called it the most significant product in the company’s history. Synopsys also rolled out an AMS verification platform to accelerate regres... » read more

The Next Bigger Things
By Ed Sperling - 13 Mar, 2014 - Comments: 0

When the Internet of Things really started making headlines several years ago—the concept had been around since at least the early 1990s—the assumption was that most of the semiconductors involved in sensing and communicating would be simple, highly limited, and developed using older technology. As the concept evolves and grows, however, it’s beginning to take on a whole new texture. R... » read more

ARM’s Lori Kate Smith has discovered an unusual electronic billboard advertisement for shampoo on a train platform in Sweden. Watch what happens when the train goes by. Mentor’s J. VanDomelen puts a magnifying glass on the U.S. Defense budget and where the money is going. Times have changed with technology. Who needs soldiers? Cadence’s Brian Fuller interviews Mindtree CTO S. Janaki... » read more

EDA Hungers For Growth
By Brian Bailey - 27 Feb, 2014 - Comments: 1

Look at the top line numbers provided by the EDA industry consortium (EDAC) and it appears as if the industry is doing well. In 2010, revenue was $5.285 billion. That number increased to $6.218 billion in 2011, and again to $6.529 billion in 2012, a 9.5% annual growth rate that would satisfy most investors. But the numbers do not tell the whole story. There is an interesting divide growing betw... » read more
