Week in Review: IoT, Security, Auto
By Jeff Dorsch - 19 Apr, 2019 - Comments: 0

Internet of Things Combining artificial intelligence with unmanned aerial vehicles could provide a quicker and safer alternative to inspecting roadways for cracks, potholes, and other damage, according to a paper posted on arvix.org. “[M]anual visual inspection [is] not only tedious, time-consuming, and costly, but also dangerous for the personnel. Furthermore, the detection results are alwa... » read more

Week In Review: Design, Low Power
By Jesse Allen - 19 Apr, 2019 - Comments: 0

Intel acquired vision and video FPGA IP company Omnitek. Founded in 1998, the Basingstoke, England-based company has produced FPGA IP cores for video processing including conversion and enhancement, creating arbitrary image warps on a real time video stream, connectivity, and deep learning and AI inferencing. Terms of the deal were not disclosed. Qualcomm and Apple have dropped all litigatio... » read more

Internet of Things Smart-building technology is a factor in marketing new facilities to prospective tenants. The new Cambridge Crossing development in Cambridge, Mass., aspires to attract tech-oriented tenants much like nearby Kendall Square, this analysis notes. Philips has agreed to lease seven floors in Cambridge Crossing’s first office building, making that location its North American he... » read more

Exascale Emulation Debug Challenges
By Ribhu Mittal - 11 Apr, 2019 - Comments: 0

For years, semiconductor industry surveys have shown that functional verification is the dominant phase in chip development and that debug is the most time-consuming task for verification. The problem is getting worse in today’s era of exascale debug, in which software applications drive tests of more than a billion cycles run in emulation on designs of more than a billion gates. System-on-ch... » read more

Low Power Meets Variability At 7/5nm
By Ann Steffora Mutschler - 11 Apr, 2019 - Comments: 0

Power-related issues are beginning to clash with process variation at 7/5nm, making timing closure more difficult and resulting in re-spins caused by unexpected errors and poor functional yield. Variability is becoming particularly troublesome at advanced nodes, and there are multiple causes of that variability. One of the key ones is the manufacturing process, which can be affected by every... » read more
