Cadence's Christine Young presents two views on the challenges of teaching physical design and some creative approaches to get students involved in solving complex problems. In his latest video, Mentor's Colin Walls ponders the mysteries of the increment operator in C/C++ and how to use it most efficiently. Synopsys' Anand Shirahatti, Mohd Adil Khan, and Jamshed Alum look at two key featu... » read more

Grappling With IoT Security
By Ed Sperling - 09 May, 2016 - Comments: 1

By Ed Sperling & Ernest Worthman As the IoT begins to take shape, the security implications of connecting devices and systems to the Internet and what needs to be done to secure them are coming into focus, as well. There is growing consensus across the semiconductor industry that many potential security holes remain, with new ones surfacing all the time. But there also is widespread r... » read more

The Week In Review: Design/IoT
By Jesse Allen - 06 May, 2016 - Comments: 0

Standards The IEEE launched the International Roadmap for Devices and Systems (IRDS), effectively setting the industry agenda for future silicon benchmarking and adding metrics that are relevant to specific markets rather than creating the fastest general-purpose processing elements at the smallest process node. For more on the IRDS, check out Ed Sperling's analysis. Accellera's SystemC A... » read more

Autonomous Vehicle Disruptions Ahead
By Ann Mutschler - 05 May, 2016 - Comments: 1

The promise of autonomous driving is a significant one, with far fewer fatalities from vehicle crashes — down from 30,000 annually — topping the list of benefits. Beyond that, autonomous driving also promises increased convenience and productivity and less troublesome commutes. But autonomous driving also pushes automotive technology into uncharted areas. There is little to fall back on ... » read more

Perspectives on the Future of Mobility from SAE World Congress 2016
By Andrew Macleod - 05 May, 2016 - Comments: 2

The discussions rage on, and I'm not talking about any election banter, which is growing tiresome. (I’ll note here that election cycles back home in the U.K. last just a month or so.) I’m talking about the future of mobility, the way you and I get around in the world — a hot topic last month at SAE World Congress. Along with much of the rest of the automotive engineering community, I w... » read more

Systems Engineering In An Automotive E/E Design World
By Mentor, a Siemens Business - 05 May, 2016 - Comments: 0

Demand for increased functionality in automotive electrical/electronic (E/E) systems is being propelled by both customers and various governmental regulations and requirements. This demand for more capabilities also introduces new challenges for OEMs who are responsible for implementing these functions. Of course, the cost of system development and manufacturing are considerable, but there are ... » read more

Rethinking Processor Architectures
By Ed Sperling - 05 May, 2016 - Comments: 2

The semiconductor industry's obsession with clock speeds, cores and how many transistors fit on a piece of silicon may be nearing an end for real this time. The [getentity id="22048" comment="IEEE"] said it will develop the International Roadmap for Devices and Systems (IRDS), effectively setting the industry agenda for future silicon benchmarking and adding metrics that are relevant to specifi... » read more

End Of Mixed Signal Engineering?
By Ed Sperling - 04 May, 2016 - Comments: 1

EDA companies are stepping back after years of trying to force engineers to combine analog and digital disciplines. Rather than emphasizing [getkc id="38" kc_name="mixed signal"] as a single expertise, they are building bridges and translation mechanisms between the two worlds. The moves cap more than a decade of trying to find optimal ways to pack [getkc id="37" kc_name="analog"] and digita... » read more

Blog Review: May 4

Ready for a scuba-diving robot? Also in this week's top picks, Ansys' Justin Nescott highlights the latest, strange discovery about water plus the race to Mars. From depositing a check via smartphone to the throwaway culture of smartphones themselves, letting convenience trump security is dangerous, warns Cadence's Paul McLellan. Synopsys' Robert Vamosi looks at the sad demise of Hitomi, ... » read more

Automating System Design
By Ann Mutschler - 02 May, 2016 - Comments: 1

Change is underway in the chip design world, creating opportunities and challenges that reach far beyond questions about whether Moore’s Law is slowing or stopping. Never before in the history of semiconductors has design been so complex and sophisticated, and never has it touched so many lives in so many interesting ways. This is all happening as a result of the chip’s enabling role in ... » read more
