As the automotive industry continues to evolve, the demands for high-capacity, high-speed storage solutions are intensifying. Autonomous vehicles and V2X (Vehicle-to-Everything) communication systems generate and process massive amounts of data, necessitating advanced storage technologies capable of meeting these… Read More
Synopsys IP Processor Summit 2024
Now that live events are filling up there are even more live events especially here in Silicon Valley. Synopsys, the #1 full IP provider, will host a processor summit here in Santa Clara next month. Given the popularity of anything RISC-V, I would expect this event to be very well attended so be sure and register in advance.
The networking… Read More
proteanTecs Introduces a Safety Monitoring Solution #61DAC
At #61DAC it was quite clear that semiconductors have “grown up”. The technology has taken its place in the world as a mission-critical enabler for a growing list of industries and applications. Reliability and stability become very important as this change progresses. An error of failure is somewhere between inconvenient… Read More
Insights into Automotive AI in China
Now that claims and counter claims about advances in foundational AI seem to be dying down, it becomes more interesting to look at the next wave – AI applications in key markets. Figuring out what is really happening here presents its own problems. Marketing and analyst literature still projects unbounded promise (now dialed back… Read More
Automotive Designs Have No Room for Error!
Automotive designs demand a high level of fault tolerance, and one of the methods to achieve this is to use error correcting codes (ECC). This Wikipedia page ECC Memory gives a flavor, though that article concentrates on memory and we are interested in wider applications using a form of forward error correction. This technique … Read More
Novelty-Based Methods for Random Test Selection. Innovation in Verification
Coverage improvement effectiveness through randomized testing declines as total coverage improves. Attacking stubborn holes in coverage could be augmented through learned novel test guidance to random test selection. Paul Cunningham (GM, Verification at Cadence), Raúl Camposano (Silicon Catalyst, entrepreneur, former… Read More
Automotive Semiconductor Market Slowing
We at Semiconductor Intelligence estimate the automotive semiconductor market was $67 billion in 2023, up 12% from 2022. The top twelve suppliers accounted for over three-quarters of the market. Infineon Technologies was the largest automotive semiconductor supplier, at $9.2 billion or 13.7% of the market. NXP Semiconductors… Read More
Automotive Autonomy’s Quiet Advance Through Radar
Given false starts and OEM strategic retreats you could be forgiven for thinking that the autonomous personal car dream is now a lost cause. But that’s not quite true. While moonshot goals have been scaled back or are running under wraps, applications continue to advance, for adaptive cruise control, collision avoidance, automatic… Read More
