SoC Platforms Gain Steam
By Ed Sperling - 26 Jul, 2012 - Comments: 0

By Ed Sperling Platforms are attracting far more attention from makers of SoCs because they are pre-verified and can speed time to market, but the shift isn’t so simple. It will spark major changes in the way companies design and build chips, causing significant disruption across the entire SoC ecosystem. Platforms are nothing new in the processor and software world. Intel, IBM AMD, and N... » read more

28, 20nm Nodes Demand Advanced Power Management
By Ed Sperling - 12 Jul, 2012 - Comments: 0

By Ann Steffora Mutschler With the complexity of getting 28 and 20nm designs to reach desired yields with the desired power and performance on the shoulders of design teams, advanced power management techniques are a must. Sub-clock power gating, clock power gate structures, adaptive body bias and other techniques are making it possible. Sub-Clock Power Gating Far from a new techniqu... » read more

New Winners And Losers
By Ed Sperling - 22 Mar, 2012 - Comments: 0

The realignment of the semiconductor industry has begun, most of it beneath the radar screen. In a disaggregated supply chain, any piece in isolation looks insignificant. But taken together, these shifts begin to paint a picture of a broad realignment and refocusing of the entire industry that ultimately will cement the fortunes of some and create new winners and losers out of others. The fi... » read more

Trading Off Power For Performance
By Ed Sperling - 08 Mar, 2012 - Comments: 0

By Pallab Chatterjee Integration of CODECS and graphics cores with new processor engines is proving to be a trouble spot for power optimization. Because these blocks are driven by performance and are high-duty-cycle components, the main focus has been to push the limit for process performance. These blocks still use most of the tricks identified by both UPF and CPF, including multi-phase ... » read more

The Next Big Challenge
By Ed Sperling - 12 Jan, 2012 - Comments: 0

By Ed Sperling Software is the next big target in the quest to make electronics more energy efficient, but it’s proving a far bigger challenge than most systems architects originally believed it would be. There are several very large big problems to deal with in software. Writing efficient code for small processors isn’t one of them. In fact, the proliferation of small processors across... » read more
