Capturing The Future, Frame By Frame
By Stephen Barton - 25 May, 2017 - Comments: 0

A lot has changed over the past year, and more changes are on the way. Consider what's happening in API tracing. All of the functions from the Vulkan specification can be traced correctly in MGD. This means that you will be able to see exactly what Vulkan calls your application makes and in what order. You will also be able to see what threads each of these function calls occur in. Figu... » read more

Five Things You Need To Know Before Selecting An RTOS
By Mentor, a Siemens Business - 24 May, 2017 - Comments: 0

Almost any embedded device is likely to need an operating system of some description. Making the decision to use an OS, selecting it and planning its deployment are all challenging. In this paper, we will take a detailed look at the 5 key issues facing an embedded developer, who is considering the selection of an OS: 1. Does the design need an operating system at all? Some designs might appear... » read more

Avoiding The Top 10 Software Security Design Flaws
By Synopsys - 24 May, 2017 - Comments: 0

Half of the software-related security defects that provide entry to threat agents are not found in buggy code – they are flaws embedded in software design. The IEEE Center for Secure Design brought together some of the foremost experts in software security in a working group to tackle the issue of secure software design. This whitepaper covers their findings. Find out why so many design... » read more

Maintaining Power Profiles At 10/7nm
By Ann Mutschler - 17 May, 2017 - Comments: 0

Understanding power consumption in detail is now a must-have of electronic design at 10nm and below, putting more pressure on SoC verification to ensure a device not only works, but meets the power budget. As part of this, the complete system must be run in a realistic manner — at the system-level — when the design and verification teams are looking at the effects of power during hardwar... » read more

Autonomous Cars Drive New Software
By Ann Mutschler - 04 May, 2017 - Comments: 0

Autonomous driving and other advanced features will require much more sophisticated software than what is used in vehicles today. To make this all work will require complex algorithms as well as co-designed hardware, which can make real-time decisions to avoid accidents and adjust to changing road conditions. Automobiles already take advantage of sophisticated software executed by a variety ... » read more

Building Secure Software At Enterprise Scale
By Synopsys - 12 Apr, 2017 - Comments: 0

The cost of finding and remediating a software defect reduces dramatically the earlier it is found in the development life cycle. This is not new news. What is new news is an approach that builds security into the development process in a way that is easy for developers to adopt, without slowing down their workflow. Download the paper to learn how you can: Prevent common bugs and flaw... » read more

Testing For Security
By Ed Sperling - 06 Mar, 2017 - Comments: 0

Ever since the IoT became a household name, people have been strategizing about ways to utilize non-secure devices to mount an attack. The first instances of using electricity to overload a device's circuits, thereby neutralizing existing security features, came to light in some of the earliest car hacking incidents. These are basically side-channel attacks using what amounts to an electroni... » read more

Software Modeling And KPI
By Pat Sheridan - 23 Feb, 2017 - Comments: 0

In Software Modeling Goes Mainstream, Ed Sperling recently wrote how chipmakers are applying use case modeling techniques to better understand the interactions between software and hardware and how they impact system performance and energy efficiency. As the software content for multicore SoCs grows, these interactions are becoming increasingly complex. For system designers and SoC architect... » read more

Custom Hardware Thriving
By Ann Mutschler - 23 Feb, 2017 - Comments: 0

In the early days of the IoT, predictions about the commoditization of hardware and the end of customized hardware were everywhere. Several years later, those predictions are being proven wrong. Off-the-shelf components have not replaced customized hardware, and software has not dictated all designs. In fact, in many cases the exact opposite has happened. And where software does play an elev... » read more

What Does AI Really Mean?
By Ed Sperling - 23 Feb, 2017 - Comments: 0

Seth Neiman, chairman of eSilicon, founder of Brocade Communications, and a board member and investor in a number of startups, sat down with Semiconductor Engineering to talk about advances in AI, what's changing, and how it ultimately could change our lives. What follows are excerpts of that conversation. SE: How far has AI progressed? Neiman: We’ve been working with AI since the mid 1... » read more
