Today all chip designs begin as lines of code. The code is written at a high level, hiding much of the complexity from the designer, and then synthesized into a low-level description for layout and ...

Used to perform FMEA, Software FMEA/HAZOP, DFA, and cybersecurity threat analysis, the software has embedded knowledge about likely system level problems that helps detect design issues early, for ...

What does it take to design a software system that doesn’t crumble under the weight of its own complexity? For many developers, the challenge of architecting large-scale software projects lies in ...

About 15 years ago, the assumption in the EDA industry was that system design would be inevitable. The transition from gate-level design to a new entry point at the register transfer level (RTL) ...

Conhas Thakkar explores how digital twins can help to reshape the design methodology of automotive semiconductors and systems, enabling truly software-defined vehicles. Digital twin in automotive ...

Modern embedded systems are expected to operate with predictable timing, continuous reliability, and near-instantaneous response under increasingly complex workloads. From automotive control units and ...

Software is the major driver behind many social and economic developments. Software Engineering is the discipline dedicated to building reliable software systems at industrial scale. Students enrolled ...

Part 1 presents ten laws that guide DSP system development. In part 1, we looked at the basic laws that guide DSP system development. We will now apply these principles to the key decisions that every ...

Growing concerns regarding security drive today’s software system design. For connected systems, it’s no longer enough to choose both a software process standard and a programming standard that focus ...
