A topic that surfaced repeatedly at DAC in multiple meetings, on panels, and over morning (and afternoon) coffee was the rapid increase in the size of software engineering teams. There are more software engineers than hardware engineers inside many chip companies these days, and they’re still not addressing an essential problem. While software teams do an incredible job of ironing out func... » read more

Which Software To Use?

When Worlds Collide: Saving Power In Communications Applications
By Ed Sperling - 12 Jan, 2012 - Comments: 0

By Ann Steffora Mutschler The interplay of hardware and software is a given in every device that contains a semiconductor chip, but is typically felt more acutely in communications applications given the extremely close dependencies for everything power-related. Managing power in these situations just gets more challenging as consumers demand more and better applications on their tablets, smar... » read more

Thinking Differently About Power
By Ed Sperling - 12 Jan, 2012 - Comments: 0

By Ed Sperling Battery life and lower electricity bills are now marketing tools for makers of SoCs, the mobile devices they go into, and servers that power data centers. A smart phone battery that lasts through the day without a charge, even when the user is playing high-action games, is a lot more attractive than one lasting only a few hours. And a data center electricity bill that shows a sh... » read more
