Making Sure A Heterogeneous Design Will Work
By Ed Sperling - 03 Dec, 2018 - Comments: 0

An explosion of various types of processors and localized memories on a chip or in a package is making it much more difficult to verify and test these devices, and to sign off with confidence. In addition to timing and clock domain crossing issues, which are becoming much more difficult to deal with in complex chips, some of the new devices are including AI, machine learning or deep learning... » read more

Blog Review: Nov. 28
By Jesse Allen - 28 Nov, 2018 - Comments: 0

Arm's Bo Eyole contends that the next generation of machine learning algorithms will have to deal with a vast amount of messy, unlabeled data and takes a look at some of the techniques, such as reinforcement learning and evolutionary computing, now being explored. Cadence's Paul McLellan considers how IP systems are increasingly limited by memory bandwidth rather than compute power and where... » read more

Blog Review: Nov. 21
By Jesse Allen - 21 Nov, 2018 - Comments: 0

Cadence's Paul McLellan looks at why specialized architectures will be the future of processor development, why general purpose processors are a poor match for AI, and other highlights from the recent Linley Processor Conference. Mentor's Harry Foster focuses on what's happening in FPGA design and the factors that are adding to increasing design and verification complexity. Synopsys' Lewi... » read more

Some Chipmakers Sidestep Scaling, Others Hedge
By Ed Sperling - 15 Nov, 2018 - Comments: 0

The rising cost of developing chips at 7nm coupled with the reduced benefits of scaling have pried open the floodgates for a variety of options involving new materials, architectures and packaging that either were ignored or not fully developed in the past. Some of these approaches are closely tied to new markets, such as assisted and autonomous vehicles, robotics and 5G. Others involve new ... » read more

Establishing the Root of Trust for the Internet of Things
By Nisha Amshul - 12 Nov, 2018 - Comments: 0

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a quickly emerging ecosystem of applications, products and services in which both large and small devices connect to the internet. These new IoT devices will be embedded into diverse applications ranging from home security and home automation to manufacturing—and more. Protecting the data collected from these dispersed IoT endpoints presents a myriad of challen... » read more

Die-to-Die Interconnects for Chip Disaggregation
By Mondeep Thiara - 10 Nov, 2018 - Comments: 0

Today, data growth is at an unprecedented pace. We’re now looking at petabytes of data moving into zettabytes. What that translates to is the need for considerably more compute power and much more bandwidth to process all that data. In networking, high-speed SerDes PHYs represent the linchpin for blazing fast back and forth transmission of data in data centers. In turn, demand is increa... » read more

Hack the Vote: The Simulation of Vote Hacking at DEF CON
By Rambus - 07 Nov, 2018 - Comments: 0

DEF CON, started in 1992 by the Dark Tangent, is the world’s largest running and underground hacking conference held annually at Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas. It is a convention attended by various people from hackers, to journalists, to lawyers, to cybersecurity professionals, to federal government employees. At the second annual DEF CON Voting Village, a part of the convention that seeks ... » read more

Are Devices Getting More Secure?
By Ed Sperling and Kevin Fogarty - 07 Nov, 2018 - Comments: 2

Adding security into chip design is becoming more prevalent as more devices are connected to the Internet, but it's not clear whether that is enough to offset an explosion in connected "things." Security concerns have been growing for the past half-decade, starting with a rash of high-profile attacks on retail establishments, hotel membership clubs, and Equifax, one of the three top credit-c... » read more

Week in Review: IoT, Security, Auto
By Jeff Dorsch - 02 Nov, 2018 - Comments: 0

Internet of Things The expensive implementation of 5G cellular communications may be justified by the Internet of Things, writes Hatem Zeine, founder and chief technology officer of Ossia, a developer of wireless power technology. Bain & Company forecasts the B2B IoT market will be worth more than $300 billion by 2020. IDC predicts overall IoT spending will hit $1.2 trillion in 2022. Mi... » read more
