Four Factors Driving Processor Choices
By Ed Sperling - 12 Jul, 2012 - Comments: 0

By Ed Sperling Choosing processors for an SoC, a system-in-package, or even a complete system is becoming much more difficult, and the challenge is growing as demands on performance, power, area and time to market continue to increase. There are many reasons why this is becoming more difficult—and some designs will require more tradeoffs than others, depending upon IP re-use or a particul... » read more

Merger In Progress
By Jon McDonald - 28 Jun, 2012 - Comments: 0

By Jon McDonald June's been an interesting month, I was at the Design Automation Conference, DAC, in San Francisco, then a week later, the Freescale Technology Forum, FTF. DAC is generally more of a hardware design conference, while FTF generally is a bit more focused on software and systems. This year I was surprised at the similarities in some of the discussions at both shows. At DAC ther... » read more

Time To Talk
By Ed Sperling - 08 Jun, 2012 - Comments: 0

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?
By Achim Nohl - 24 May, 2012 - Comments: 0

By Achim Nohl big.LITTLE processing refers to the concept of combining a high-performance ARM Cortex-A15 MPCore processor along with an energy-efficient Cortex-A7 processor. There were two primary use models recently introduced by ARM for big.LITTLE processing: task migration and MP. The big.LITTLE task migration use model is where the applications migrate between one cluster and another based... » read more
