New And Innovative Supply Chain Threats Emerging
By Bryon Moyer - 05 Nov, 2020 - Comments: 1

The electronics supply chain is seeing evidence of increased sophistication in the counterfeiting of complex ICs and simple passives, both of which can impact the functioning and safety of the systems that use them. New technologies are being developed to build trust by helping to identify counterfeit devices before assembly and during failure analysis. It's too early to tell how effective t... » read more

How End-To-End Solutions Support Tomorrow’s Automotive Electrical Systems
By Dan Scott - 05 Nov, 2020 - Comments: 0

We are living in a time of significant change and disruption in the automotive industry. The amount of electrical and electronic content in today’s vehicles continues to explode as consumers demand greater personalization of products and regular feature updates, and as tomorrow’s technologies such as autonomous and electric drive continue to develop. Meanwhile, established carmakers are gra... » read more

Accelerating Electrical Systems Design And Analysis With VeSys
By Mentor, a Siemens Business - 04 Nov, 2020 - Comments: 0

Electrical systems are constantly growing, whether in passenger cars, aircraft or heavy machinery. The growing size and complexity of these systems is driving up development costs and the likelihood of errors, potentially leading to even more cost or damaged brand reputation. New electrical systems and wiring harness engineering solutions implement automation, facilitate collaboration and accel... » read more

Blog Review: Nov. 4
By Jesse Allen - 04 Nov, 2020 - Comments: 0

Arm's Joshua Sowerby points to how to improve machine learning performance on mobile devices by using smart pruning to remove convolution filters from a network, reducing its size, complexity, and memory footprint. Mentor's Neil Johnson checks out how designers can write and verify RTL real-time using formal property checking in the style of test-driven development and why to give it a try. ... » read more

Speeding Up AI With Vector Instructions
By Ann Mutschler - 04 Nov, 2020 - Comments: 0

A search is underway across the industry to find the best way to speed up machine learning applications, and optimizing hardware for vector instructions is gaining traction as a key element in that effort. Vector instructions are a class of instructions that enable parallel processing of data sets. An entire array of integers or floating point numbers is processed in a single operation, elim... » read more

Week In Review: Design, Low Power
By Jesse Allen - 30 Oct, 2020 - Comments: 0

M&A AMD will acquire Xilinx for $35 billion in an all-stock deal. "Joining together with AMD will help accelerate growth in our data center business and enable us to pursue a broader customer base across more markets,” said Victor Peng, Xilinx president and CEO. The deal is expected to close by the end of 2021. The acquisition of the programmable logic giant will leave only a few purepla... » read more

Using Verification Data More Effectively
By Ann Mutschler - 29 Oct, 2020 - Comments: 0

Verification is producing so much data from complex designs that engineering teams need to decide what to keep, how long to keep it, and what they can learn from that data for future projects. Files range from hundreds of megabytes to hundreds of gigabytes, depending on the type of verification task, but the real value may not be obvious unless AI/machine learning algorithms are applied to a... » read more

Solving CSD Verification Challenges
By Ben Whitehead - 29 Oct, 2020 - Comments: 0

To tackle power consumption and slow execution, modern computational storage devices (CSD) seek to reduce data movement by including a small processing element next to the CSD (figure 1). The data request from the host is executed locally by the processing element, data is locally manipulated, and the result sent back to the host. Much less data is exchanged between storage and host, thus savin... » read more

Is Hardware-Assisted Verification Avoidable?
By Brian Bailey - 29 Oct, 2020 - Comments: 1

Emulation is emerging as the tool of choice for complex and large designs, but companies that swap from simulation to emulation increasingly recognize this is not an easy transition. It requires money, time, and effort, and even then not everyone gets it right. Still, there are significant benefits to moving from simulation to emulation, providing these systems can be utilized efficiently en... » read more

Virtual Verification Of Computational Storage Devices
By Mentor, a Siemens Business - 28 Oct, 2020 - Comments: 0

Over recent years, there has been a move to replace hard-disk drive (HDD) storage with solid-state drive (SSD) storage. SDDs are faster, contain no moving parts that can fail or be affected by environmental hazards, and the cost of SSDs has been dropping each year. Unfortunately, the verification of an SSD is quite complex. In particular because of hyperscale datacenter enterprise and client-dr... » read more
