High-Performance SerDes Enable The 5G Wireless Edge
By Frank Ferro - 14 Apr, 2022 - Comments: 0

Investment at the core of the global internet is red hot. The number of hyperscale data centers jumped to 700 worldwide at the end of 2021, and with more than 300 in the pipeline, should rise to over 1000 by 20241. In the span of five years, total hyperscale data centers will have doubled. And as the raw number shoots up, more powerful compute and networking hardware is rapidly being deployed, ... » read more

New Challenges For Connected Vehicles
By John Koon - 11 Apr, 2022 - Comments: 0

Connected vehicles are all about convenience and safety. Modern vehicles are connected to the Internet via wireless networks, consumer apps, and infotainment systems, and there is work underway to connect them over 5G to guided driving. But there also are challenges to making all of this work securely, safely, and as expected throughout the expected lifetimes of chips and systems. The goal i... » read more

Setting The Standard For Automotive Security
By Bart Stevens - 07 Apr, 2022 - Comments: 0

Vehicle systems and the semiconductors used within them are some of the most complex electronics seen today. In the past, electronics going into vehicle systems implemented flat architectures with isolated functions controlling various components of the power train and vehicle dynamics. These electronic systems communicated primarily through legacy bus interconnect protocols, like controller ar... » read more

Preventing A $500 Attack Destroying Your IoT Devices
By Rambus - 06 Apr, 2022 - Comments: 0

Internet of Things (IoT) smart devices numbering in the billions and connected via the internet are increasingly vital to society and the global economy. However, the very “connectedness” that makes IoT devices so valuable can be turned to an enormous liability if these devices are left unprotected from security-related threats. This paper explores the threat environment faced by, and the c... » read more

Improving Memory Efficiency And Performance
By Bryon Moyer - 28 Mar, 2022 - Comments: 0

This is the second of two parts on CXL vs. OMI. Part one can be found here. Memory pooling and sharing are gaining traction as ways of optimizing existing resources to handle increasing data volumes. Using these approaches, memory can be accessed by a number of different machines or processing elements on an as-needed basis. Two protocols, CXL and OMI, are being leveraged to simplify thes... » read more

How To Justify A Data Center
By Ann Mutschler - 24 Mar, 2022 - Comments: 0

The breadth of cloud capabilities and improvements in cost and licensing structures is prompting chipmakers to consider offloading at least some of their design work into the cloud. Cloud is a viable business today for semiconductor design. Over the past decade, the interest in moving to cloud computing has grown from an idea that was fun to talk about — but which no one was serious about ... » read more

CXL and OMI: Competing or Complementary?
By Bryon Moyer - 23 Mar, 2022 - Comments: 1

System designers are looking at any ideas they can find to increase memory bandwidth and capacity, focusing on everything from improvements in memory to new types of memory. But higher-level architectural changes can help to fulfill both needs, even as memory types are abstracted away from CPUs. Two new protocols are helping to make this possible, CXL and OMI. But there is a looming question... » read more

What Else Can You Do While Driving A Car?
By Ann Mutschler - 16 Mar, 2022 - Comments: 0

Increasing levels of autonomy in vehicles are driving increased demands for new technology. Consumers care about the electronics in their vehicles, for both safety and convenience, and those features are impacting both purchase decisions and new vehicle designs. As vehicles grow in sophistication with advanced driver assistance, electrification, or alternative fuel sources, personalized vehi... » read more

Week In Review: Design, Low Power
By Jesse Allen - 11 Mar, 2022 - Comments: 0

Intellectual Property Flex Logix inked an agreement with the Air Force Research Laboratory, Sensors Directorate (AFRL/RY) covering any Flex Logix IP technology for use in all US Government-funded programs for research and prototyping purposes with no license fees. “Our first license with AFRL for EFLX eFPGA in GlobalFoundries 12nm process was highly successful, with more than a half dozen pr... » read more

Power Now First-Order Concern In More Markets
By Ann Mutschler - 10 Mar, 2022 - Comments: 0

Concerns about energy and power efficiency are becoming as important as performance in markets where traditionally there has been a significant gap, setting the stage for significant shifts in both chip architectures and in how those ICs are designed in the first place. This shift can be seen in a growing number of applications and vertical segments. It includes mobile devices, where batteri... » read more
