Internet of Things Paris-based Parrot Drones and five other companies were selected by the Pentagon’s Defense Innovation Unit and the U.S. Army to adapt off-the-shelf commercial drones for combat applications as part of the Army’s Short Range Reconnaissance program. SRR seeks to develop unmanned aerial vehicles that have a flight time of 30 minutes, a range of three kilometers (nearly two ... » read more

FPGA And System Designs Get To Market Faster Leveraging ASIC-Proven Analysis Tools
By Chris Giles - 30 May, 2019 - Comments: 0

Increasing power constraints have resulted in finer-grained partitioning of designs into functional domains that can have clocks disabled or, more drastically, are powered down entirely. Systems are required to adaptively manage clocks to minimize switching power. Performance and area constraints have led to the abandonment of more conservative practices in favor of more aggressive designs; ... » read more

How To Integrate An Embedded FPGA
By Brian Bailey - 30 May, 2019 - Comments: 1

Choosing to add programmable logic into an SoC with an eFPGA is just the beginning. Other choices follow involving how many lookup tables (LUTs), how much routing and what topology, how will data be transferred in and out of the fabric, does data need to be coherent with system memory, how will it be programmed and tested, and what RTL functions need to be embedded into the programmable fabric ... » read more

Why IP Quality Is So Difficult To Determine
By Ann Mutschler - 30 May, 2019 - Comments: 0

Differentiating good IP from mediocre or bad IP is getting more difficult, in part because it depends up on how and where it is used and in part because even the best IP may work better in one system than another—even in chips developed by the same vendor. This has been one of the challenges with IP over the years. In many cases, IP is poorly characterized, regardless of whether that IP wa... » read more

Adding Order And Structure To Verification
By Brian Bailey - 30 May, 2019 - Comments: 0

You can't improve what you can't measure, and when it comes to methodologies the notion of measurement becomes more difficult. Add in notions of the skills, capabilities and experience levels of individuals within an organization, which may affect their ability to adopt certain technologies, and it requires considerable attention. This is where concepts such as capability maturity models (CM... » read more

AI Accelerator Ecosystem: An Overview
By Mentor, a Siemens Business - 29 May, 2019 - Comments: 0

Companies worldwide trust the Catapult HLS Platform for designing and verifying machine learning accelerators and connecting them to systems. But, Mentor has taken a big step farther and offers an AI accelerator ecosystem that provides AI designers with an environment to jumpstart their projects. Based on years of working with designers, this ecosystem provides resources from IP libraries to fu... » read more

Blog Review: May 29
By Jesse Allen - 29 May, 2019 - Comments: 0

Cadence's Meera Collier traces the evolution of computing through the series of bottlenecks the industry has needed to overcome and what's being done to address the latest one. Mentor's Rebecca Lord checks out the use of differential signals to mitigate the effects of electromagnetic interference, noise, and crosstalk in PCBs. Synopsys' Taylor Armerding considers whether Ireland's slow en... » read more
