Accelerating SoC Verification Closure With Unified Verification Management Solution
By Synopsys - 08 Feb, 2021 - Comments: 0

Functional verification of system-on-chip (SoC) designs requires best-in-class tools linked together in a unified solution in order to address exponential complexity challenges. There is no one-size-fits-all method for verification. Complex designs require a combination of virtual prototyping, static checks, formal analysis, simulation, emulation and FPGA prototyping. The execution of all the t... » read more

Longer Chip Lifecycles Increase Security Threat
By Ed Sperling - 04 Feb, 2021 - Comments: 0

The longer chips and electronic systems remain in use, the more they will need to be refreshed with software and firmware updates. That creates a whole new level of security risks, ranging from over-the-air intercepts to compromised supply chains. These problems have been escalating as more devices are connected to the Internet and to each other, but it's particularly worrisome when it invol... » read more

Bridging The Gap Between Smart Cities And Autonomous Vehicles
By Ann Mutschler - 04 Feb, 2021 - Comments: 0

Smart city planners and carmakers are wrestling with similar problems and goals, but they are working at very different paces and often with different technologies — despite the fact that these two worlds will need to be bridged in order to be useful. Moving traffic optimally in urban areas is critical for reducing energy consumption and accidents, and for moving emergency vehicles through... » read more

Addressing Power Challenges In AI Hardware
By Solaiman Rahim - 04 Feb, 2021 - Comments: 0

Artificial intelligence (AI) accelerators are essential for tackling AI workloads like neural networks. These high-performance parallel computation machines provide the processing efficiency that such high data volumes demand. With AI playing increasingly larger roles in our lives—from consumer devices like smart speakers to industrial applications like automated factories—it’s paramount ... » read more

Edge-Inference Architectures Proliferate
By Bryon Moyer - 04 Feb, 2021 - Comments: 0

First part of two parts. The second part will dive into basic architectural characteristics. The last year has seen a vast array of announcements of new machine-learning (ML) architectures for edge inference. Unburdened by the need to support training, but tasked with low latency, the devices exhibit extremely varied approaches to ML inference. “Architecture is changing both in the comp... » read more

10 Things You Ought To Know Before You Benchmark Your Software Security Program
By Synopsys - 03 Feb, 2021 - Comments: 0

Benchmarking can help you get a new software security initiative off the ground or better navigate an existing one. It is different from other measurement techniques because it focuses on excellence, includes detailed comparisons, and pools confidential information among numerous organizations. To get you started in the right direction, we’ve put together some quick tips so you get the mos... » read more

Automotive Functional Safety Compliance In EDA Tools And IP
By Swami Venkat - 01 Feb, 2021 - Comments: 1

By Swami Venkat and Meirav Nitzan A modern vehicle can boast as many as 100 million lines of code—that’s more than the Large Hadron Collider (50 million lines) and Facebook (62 million lines). On the hardware side, many of today’s cars have upwards of 100 electronic control units (ECUs) to run various functions. As automotive engineering ingenuity continues to drive further innovation ... » read more
