Cloud 2.0
By Ed Sperling - 09 Jul, 2015 - Comments: 0

Corporate data centers are reluctant adopters of new technology. There is too much at stake to make quick changes, which accounts for a number of failed semiconductor startups over the past decade with better ideas for more efficient processors, not to mention rapid consolidation in other areas. But as the amount of data increases, and the cost of processing that data decreases at a slower rate... » read more

Securing Modern-Day Devices With Embedded Virtualization And ARM TrustZone Technology
By Mentor, a Siemens Business - 06 Jul, 2015 - Comments: 0

When securing today’s modern devices, it’s not enough to know the type of device you want to secure. Equally important is the process used to develop that device. In this paper, we’ll take a closer look at security as it relates to protecting data, building security into a device, and securing SoCs in multicore architectures. ARM TrustZone technology, which provides a solution for carving... » read more

Executive Insight: Wally Rhines
By Ed Sperling - 01 Jul, 2015 - Comments: 0

Wally Rhines, chairman and CEO of Mentor Graphics, sat down with Semiconductor Engineering to talk about what's changing across a wide swath of the industry, where the new opportunities will be, when security will become a real opportunity for EDA, and why Moore's Law will die but progress will continue forever. SE: Looking back over the past year, what's changed and where are the possible r... » read more

What Is A System Now?
By Ann Mutschler - 25 Jun, 2015 - Comments: 0

Defining a system used to be relatively straightforward. But as systems move onto chips, and as those chips increasingly are connected with applications and security spanning multiple devices, the definition is changing. This increases the complexity of the design process itself, and it raises questions about how chips and software will be designed and defined in the age of the [getkc id="76... » read more

Shift Left: Software Or Hardware?
By Tom De Schutter - 25 Jun, 2015 - Comments: 0

A couple of weeks ago I was with a virtual prototyping user who described the benefits his company has seen from deploying virtual prototyping for early software development. The use of virtual prototyping has been rolled out progressively to more projects over the years, making it possible for the company to measure its impact on the software availability schedule and the impact has been drama... » read more

Addressing Design Challenges In Heterogeneous Multicore Embedded Systems
By Mentor, a Siemens Business - 27 May, 2015 - Comments: 0

Single-core processor designs for purpose-built devices used to rule the day. Now, heterogeneous multicore systems are quickly becoming the de facto architecture as devices are tasked to do more complex functions faster and more efficiently. In this paper, we’ll explore why hetero/multicore systems have become so popular and why many of our current procedures and practices must change if we a... » read more

Accelerating Development For LP
By Brian Bailey - 14 May, 2015 - Comments: 0

Power is a limiting factor in all devices these days, and while most of the industry has seen this coming for several process nodes and a succession of mobile devices with limited battery life, the power problem remains a work in progress. No matter how much progress is made—and there has been plenty of work done in the areas of multiple power domains, dark silicon, dynamic voltage and fr... » read more

Week 48: One Week Left For Early Registration
By Anne Cirkel - 08 May, 2015 - Comments: 0

I have to admit, writing the weekly blog has made the countdown to DAC a lot more apparent than it would have been otherwise. When I began blogging last year, I thought the watched-pot-never-boils maxim might apply, that time would drag and I’d run out of things to say months before the opening keynote. Instead, I’m fairly stunned to have just four more blogs to write until “my DAC year�... » read more
