Cadence unveiled a static timing/signal integrity analysis and power integrity analysis tool, Tempus Power Integrity Solution, that integrates the Tempus Timing Signoff and Voltus IC Power Integrity signoff engines. Early use cases demonstrated it correctly identified IR drop errors, avoiding silicon failure prior to tapeout and improving the maximum frequency in silicon by up to 10%. Arasan... » read more

Planning For Failures In Automotive
By Ann Mutschler - 07 Nov, 2019 - Comments: 0

The automotive industry is undergoing some fundamental shifts as it backs away from the traditional siloed approach to one of graceful failure, slowing the evolution to fully autonomy and rethinking how to achieve its goals for a reasonable cost. For traditional automakers, this means borrowing some proven strategies from the electronics world rather than trying to evolve traditional automot... » read more

Traceability Of Functional Safety Requirements In Automotive IP And SoCs

By Shivakumar Chonnad, Vladimir Litovtchenko, and Rohit Bhardwaj Developing functional safety systems, including all the components such as the system-on-chip (SoC) and IP, hinges on the ability to meet the stringent automotive functional safety requirements such as definition, implementation, verification, and validation. Depending on the Automotive Safety Integrity Level (ASIL), the functi... » read more

How Secure Is Your Face?
By Yuri Nagano - 07 Nov, 2019 - Comments: 0

Biometric security, which spans everything from iris scans to fingerprint sensors, is undergoing the same kind of race against hackers as every other type of sensor. While most of these systems work well enough to identify a person, there are a number of well-known ways to defeat them. One is simply to apply newer technology to cracking algorithms used inside these devices. Improvements in p... » read more

Micron acquired FWDNXT, an AI software and hardware startup. Founded in 2017 and based in Lafayette, Indiana, FWDNXT, specializes in building machine learning deep neural network inference accelerators scalable from edge devices to server-class performance as Xilinx FPGAs, SoCs, or SDK. The company's engine already powers Micron's Deep Learning Accelerator (DLA) technology. “FWDNXT is an a... » read more

Week in Review: IoT, Security, Autos
By SE Staff - 01 Nov, 2019 - Comments: 0

IoT/Edge Achronix teamed up with Bittware to develop a smart accelerator card based on a 7nm FPGA from Achronix. The card is targeted for edge devices, where pre-processing and acceleration of data movement is critical due to the enormous quantity of data being generated by sensors. The strategy is to move the processing closer to the data, rather than processing input from multiple sensors in... » read more
