Finding Evasive System-Level Bugs Using Memory Consistency Algorithm
By Russell Klein - 12 Jan, 2017 - Comments: 0

Over Easter weekend in 2015 there was a jewelry heist at the safe deposit building at Hatton Gardens in London. The safe deposit vault was in the basement of a building and is used by jewelers in the area for storing large amounts of diamonds, jewelry, precious metals, and cash. The thieves made off with over $300 million in loot, making it the biggest heist in British history. For a while it l... » read more

Power State Switching Gets Tougher
By Ann Mutschler - 12 Jan, 2017 - Comments: 0

Power state switching delay is a key factor in minimizing power, and getting it right frequently means the difference between a successful design and a dead chip. But tradeoffs are intricate, complex and often involve judgment calls, making this a place where designs can go completely awry. For years, traditional, full-swing [gettech id="31093" comment="CMOS"] process technologies were used ... » read more

2017: Manufacturing And Markets
By Brian Bailey - 12 Jan, 2017 - Comments: 0

While the industry is busy chatting about the end of Moore's Law and a maturing of the semiconductor industry, the top minds of many companies are having none of it. A slowdown in one area is just an opportunity, in another and that is reflected in the predictions for this year. As in previous years, Semiconductor Engineering will look back on these predictions at the end of the year to see ... » read more

The Fundamental Power States For UPF Modeling And Power Aware Verification
By Mentor, a Siemens Business - 11 Jan, 2017 - Comments: 0

The IEEE 1801-2015 specifies the new semantics of power states through the ‘add_power_state’ UPF command. This new construct primarily allows incremental refinement of power states for power domains and its associated supply sets. The refinement concepts are actually originated from the fundamental conceptual set of power states termed as indefinite, definite, and deferred power states. In ... » read more

The Power And Limits Of Money
By Gale Morrison - 11 Jan, 2017 - Comments: 0

[getperson id="11694" p_name="Wally Rhines"], CEO of [getentity id="22017" e_name="Mentor Graphics"], sat down with Semiconductor Engineering to discuss how semiconductor engineering teams make their dollars work even when budgets are limited. The issue is as important as ever, given the industry's unrelenting margin and cost pressure and the growing competition for top talent. What follows are... » read more

Mentor's Ron Press examines why test hasn't become a bottleneck in creating ever more advanced semiconductors. Synopsys' Graham Etchells warns that while finFET technologies have been successful, challenges persist. Cadence's Paul McLellan shares a behind-the-scenes look at developing the Palladium Z1 emulator. The White House's Craig Mundie and Paul Otellini highlight a PCAST report o... » read more

Smart Manufacturing Gains Momentum
By Ed Sperling - 05 Jan, 2017 - Comments: 0

Smart manufacturing is gaining traction as a way of addressing increased market fragmentation while still leveraging economies of scale. The goal is to add a level of flexibility into manufacturing processes that until recently was considered impossible. Although the approach makes sense in theory, real-world implementation is proving far from consistent. Sometimes referred to as Industr... » read more

How To Build Security Into Your IoT Wearable Device
By Mentor, a Siemens Business - 05 Jan, 2017 - Comments: 0

In today's connected world, IoT wearable devices should be built from the ground up to include basic, fundamental security capabilities. This whitepaper explains the key security technologies critical for creating a secure IoT embedded device. Topics include code and boot-time authentication, establishing a chain of trust, process separation and space partitioning, using a safety-certified oper... » read more

Prioritizing Vehicle Data Traffic
By Ann Mutschler - 05 Jan, 2017 - Comments: 1

It’s no surprise to hear that data complexity is on the rise inside vehicles today, but the scale just might cause you to gag on your coffee. It's expected that a fully connected car will upload as much as 30 gigabytes of data to the cloud every hour. Given the scale of data, it is imperative to make sure every bit of it is classified and tagged properly so that the subsystems, and inf... » read more
