Winners And Losers At The Edge
By Ed Sperling - 01 Jul, 2020 - Comments: 0

The edge is a vast collection of niches tied to narrow vertical markets, and it is likely to stay that way for years to come. This is both good and bad for semiconductor companies, depending upon where they sit in the ecosystem and their ability to adapt to a constantly shifting landscape. Some segments will see continued or new growth, including EDA, manufacturing equipment, IP, security an... » read more

Variables Complicate Safety-Critical Device Verification
By Ann Mutschler - 01 Jul, 2020 - Comments: 0

The inclusion of AI chips in automotive and increasingly in avionics has put a spotlight on advanced-node designs that can meet all of the ASIL-D requirements for temperature and stress. How should designers approach this task, particularly when these devices need to last longer than the applications? Semiconductor Engineering sat down to discuss these issues with Kurt Shuler, vice president of... » read more

Managing Web Application Security With Coverity
By Synopsys - 30 Jun, 2020 - Comments: 0

While security practitioners can and should play an active role in web application security, only developers are familiar enough with the code to fix software vulnerabilities. For this reason, security teams can most effectively prevent software vulnerabilities from entering production by equipping their development teams with the tools to fix security issues as they’re building applications.... » read more

The Fast, ‘Attractive’ Path From Great PPA To The Best PPA For High-Performance Arm Cores
By Neel Desai - 25 Jun, 2020 - Comments: 0

By Mark Richards and Neel Desai When you want to create a website for your new side-hustle, or maybe for your local soccer team, it's rare that you would order a book on cascading-style sheets, break out the HTML editor and start from a blank sheet of “paper.” You'd do the smart thing and use a website builder, link it to some content management tool (this would get you to 90% of a usabl... » read more

Open-Source Hardware Momentum Builds
By Brian Bailey - 25 Jun, 2020 - Comments: 2

Open-source hardware continues to gain ground, spearheaded by RISC-V — despite the fact that this processor technology is neither free nor simple to use. Nevertheless, the open-source hardware movement has established a solid foothold after multiple prior forays that yielded only limited success, even for processors. With demand for more customized hardware, and a growing field of startups... » read more

Over-Design, Under-Design Impacts Verification
By Ann Mutschler - 25 Jun, 2020 - Comments: 0

Designing a complex chip today and getting it out the door on schedule and within budget — while including all of the necessary and anticipated features and standards — is forcing engineering teams to make more tradeoffs than in the past, and those tradeoffs now are occurring throughout the flow. In an ideal system design flow, design teams will have done early, pre-design analysis to se... » read more

ML Opening New Doors For FPGAs
By Bryon Moyer - 24 Jun, 2020 - Comments: 0

FPGAs have long been used in the early stages of any new digital technology, given their utility for prototyping and rapid evolution. But with machine learning, FPGAs are showing benefits beyond those of more conventional solutions. This opens up a hot new market for FPGAs, which traditionally have been hard to sustain in high-volume production due to pricing, and hard to use for battery-dri... » read more
