Architect Specs Harder To Follow
By Ann Mutschler - 28 Dec, 2016 - Comments: 0

Interpreting and implementing architects' specifications is getting harder at each new process node, which is creating problems throughout the design flow, into manufacturing, and sometimes even post-production. Rising complexity and difficulties in scaling have pushed much more of the burden onto architects to deal with everything from complex power schemes, new packaging approaches, and to... » read more

Tools For Heterogeneous System Development
By Brian Bailey - 22 Dec, 2016 - Comments: 1

System architects look to both heterogeneous and homogeneous computing when there are no other options available, but the current thinking is that a system-level software methodology could simplify the design, ease integration of various blocks, and potentially improve performance for less power. While the theory appears sound enough, implementing it has turned out to be harder than expected. ... » read more

Don’t Let Bad Apples Ruin Your Pie
By Synopsys - 21 Dec, 2016 - Comments: 0

The quality of a pie depends heavily on the ingredients you use. Do you use bleached white flour or organic multigrain flour? Do you use sugar or a carcinogenic artificial sweetener? Do you use Granny Smith apples, or Honeycrisp, or those funky apples that fell off the tree that’s in your neighborhood? Managing ingredients is crucial to your success. Suppose you’re not paying close atten... » read more

Chip Advances Play Big Role In Cloud
By Gale Morrison - 12 Dec, 2016 - Comments: 0

Semiconductor engineering teams have been collaborating with key players in the data center ecosystem in recent years, resulting in unforeseen and substantial changes in how data centers are architected and built. That includes everything from which boxes, boards, cards and cables go where, to how much it costs to run them. The result is that bedrock communication technology and standards li... » read more

Tuning Heterogeneous SoCs
By Brian Bailey - 08 Dec, 2016 - Comments: 0

It's one thing to pack multiple processor cores into a design, but it is much more difficult to ensure the hardware matches the software's requirements, or that the software optimally uses the hardware. Both the hardware and software teams are now facing these issues, and there are few tools to help them fully understand the problems or to provide solutions. Design teams continue to add more... » read more

Car Becomes A Living Platform
By Ann Mutschler - 05 Dec, 2016 - Comments: 0

Future generations of vehicles will age like any other electronic or mechanical devices, but they also will need to adapt, grow, and change in unexpected ways over time to avoid being hacked, rendered obsolete, or otherwise compromised. This adds a whole new set of challenges never seen before in automotive development, and OEMs are working feverishly to bring system architectures up to ... » read more

The Right Kind Of Fun
By Tom De Schutter - 02 Dec, 2016 - Comments: 0

A couple of weeks ago I went to see “Together Again At Last…For The Very First Time” by John Cleese and Eric Idle at the Center for the Performing Arts in San Jose. I hope all of you recognize both gentlemen as two members of Monty Python. As you can imagine, it was quite an exciting night. With the audience being Monty Python fanatics, every video clip or skit was received with a lot ... » read more

Optimizing Multiple IoT Layers
By Ann Mutschler - 01 Dec, 2016 - Comments: 0

As the number of connected devices rises, so do questions about how to optimize them for target markets, how to ensure they play nicely together, and how to bring them to market quickly and inexpensively. [getkc id="76" kc_name="IoT"] is broad term that encompasses a lot of disparate pieces for devices, systems, and connected systems. At the highest levels are hardware and software, but with... » read more
