Memory Hierarchy and the Memory Wall
Computer programs mainly move data around. In the meantime, they do some computations on the data but the bulk of execution time and energy is spent moving data around. In computer jargon we say that applications tend to be memory bound: this means that memory is the main performance limiting … Read More
If you work in the Semiconductor or related industry, you know that industry cycles can profoundly impact your business. It is crucial for strategic development to invest at the appropriate time and to rope the sails when necessary.
As a semiconductor investor, you’re accustomed to the ebb and flow of industry cycles. It’s… Read More
In the fast-paced world of electronic design automation (EDA) software development, maintaining high code quality while adhering to tight deadlines is a significant challenge. Code coverage, an essential metric in software testing, measures the extent to which a software’s source code is executed in tests. High code… Read More
Git is a version control system that saves every change made to files. It offers powerful tools for managing these changes. This makes Git ideal for software development, as it lets you keep all project files in one place.
Software has grown in complexity, necessitating more collaboration among engineers across various time zones.… Read More

I. Introduction
Automotive radar is a key enabler for the development of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and autonomous vehicles. The use of radar allows vehicles to sense their environment and make decisions based on that information, enhancing… Read More
After the Biden administration upped the ante in the tech war by restricting China’s access to advanced US semiconductor technology, the $64,000 question was “How might Beijing respond?”
Punishing American companies in China (like Apple and Tesla) was not considered likely given the employment they generate – Apple… Read More
