Why Silicon IP Has Become the Foundation of Modern SoC Design


Addressing challenges of using silicon IP, tracking IP cores, and taking advantage of the flexibility of modular design requires a proven process. It also requires a state-of-the-art IP management system and modular design roadmap that will lead to success in silicon. Keysight has identified 6 steps to effective IP management based on best practices and customer experiences. Read more here. » read more

How Gamification Improves Semiconductor IP Reuse


In today’s increasingly complex semiconductor industry, companies are always looking for new and innovative ways to maximize the value of their Intellectual Property (IP) assets. One way to do this is through the use of crowdsourcing and gamification. Crowdsourcing is the process of obtaining services, ideas, or content by enlisting a large number of people, typically through an online platfo... » read more

Machine Learning Showing Up As Silicon IP


New machine-learning (ML) architectures continue to appear. Up to now, each new offering has been implemented in a chip for sale, to be placed alongside host processors, memory, and other chips on an accelerator board. But over time, more of this technology could be sold as IP that can be integrated into a system-on-chip (SoC). That trend is evident at recent conferences, where an increasing... » read more
