By Ann Mutschler - 07 Dec, 2017 - Comments: 0

Without a doubt, the tremendous amount of activity surrounding the opportunities in today and tomorrow’s vehicles is mind-boggling but absolutely exciting. When big shifts occur such as the one we are seeing in automotive, that equates to big opportunities for companies that get it right with a certain application, at the right time. It means partnering with the right ecosystem partners, f... » read more

Blog Review: Nov. 29
By Ed Sperling - 29 Nov, 2017 - Comments: 0

ANSYS' Robert Harwood offers a reminder that autonomous and assisted driving technology are still very much works in progress, and flawed ones at that. It will take an estimated 5 billion to 10 billion road miles to effectively train self-driving algorithms. So far, Google has logged about 3.5 million miles. Along the same lines, Mentor's Paul Johnston takes a look at the electric car market... » read more

The Week In Review: Design
By Jesse Allen - 17 Nov, 2017 - Comments: 0

Tools Aldec released the latest version of its Riviera-PRO verification platform, adding QEMU Bridge to enable hardware/software co-simulation of designs intended to run on SoC FPGAs. Other features include improved performance when using code containing many inline randomized calls and up to 29% faster simulation speed of UVM. Pulsic added new features to its Unity Bus Planner for planning... » read more

The Next Phase Of Machine Learning
By Kevin Fogarty - 09 Nov, 2017 - Comments: 0

Machine learning is all about doing complex calculations on huge volumes of data with increasing efficiency, and with a growing stockpile of success stories it has rapidly evolved from a rather obscure computer science concept into the go-to method for everything from facial recognition technology to autonomous cars. [getkc id="305" kc_name="Machine learning"] can apply to every corporate fu... » read more

Mentor's Nitin Bhagwath continues digging into DDR timing with a look at the clock-to-DQS requirement at the DRAM and how "write-leveling" is used to solve layout issues caused by the requirement. Synopsys' Dipesh Handa checks out what's new in the MIPI CSI-2 v2.0 specification that opens it up to new imaging and vision applications, including IoT and automotive. Cadence's Ken Willis delv... » read more

Drones, Augmented Reality, UHD TV
By Mentor, a Siemens Business - 25 Oct, 2017 - Comments: 0

New markets for multimedia and high-definition video chips are quickly becoming the next wave fueling the electronics industry. One market that demonstrates a mega-appetite for electronics is the drone market. The main IC components in drones that require exhaustive verification are the video capture circuitry and data collection components that either store data in-system or upload that data t... » read more

Mentor's Joe Hupcey III explains the benefits of prioritizing faults with formal analysis before launching detailed fault verification. Cadence's Paul McLellan listens in as AMD's Mark Papermaster discusses what's needed to keep driving Moore's Law. Synopsys' Jesse Victors takes a look at ROCA, the latest flaw affecting RSA cryptography, and argues it may be time for a new encryption sche... » read more

The 2017 International Test Conference
By Jeff Dorsch - 09 Oct, 2017 - Comments: 0

Machine learning is a hot topic at many technical conferences this year. It will be true at the upcoming International Test Conference, which opens near the end of this month in Fort Worth, Texas. On Sunday, October 29, there are two tutorials devoted to machine learning. Monday, October 30, will have one tutorial related to the topic. The conference gets fully under way on Halloween, wit... » read more

Fusing CMOS IC And MEMS Design For IoT Edge Devices
By Mentor, a Siemens Business - 11 Sep, 2017 - Comments: 0

Creating a sensor-based IoT edge device is challenging, due to the multiple design domains involved (Analog, digital, RF, and MEMS). But, creating an edge device that combines the electronics using the traditional CMOS IC flow and a MEMS sensor on the same silicon die can seem impossible. In fact, many IoT edge devices combine multiple dies in a single package, separating electronics from the M... » read more

Using CNNs To Speed Up Systems
By Ann Mutschler - 10 Aug, 2017 - Comments: 0

Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are becoming one of the key differentiators in system performance, reversing a decades-old trend that equated speed with processor clock frequencies, the number of transistors, and the instruction set architecture. Even with today's smartphones and PCs, it's difficult for users to differentiate between processors with 6, 8 or 16 cores. But as the amount o... » read more
