Before there was a mainstream open standard Instruction Set Architecture (ISA) like RISC-V, a computer processor's software/hardware interface was generally defined by processor architects. The ...

In today’s semiconductor landscape, scale is becoming a bigger battleground—not only for chipmakers, but increasingly for hyperscalers, cloud giants, and other systems companies, too. They're all ...

HSI is a critical capability that now has the full attention of the Accellera PSWG and whose absence results in extra work for companies that want to adopt Portable Stimulus tools without some form of ...

El Dorado Hills, Calif. – July 30, 2013 – The Multicore Association™, a global non-profit organization that develops standards to speed time-to-market for products with multicore processor ...

Just as editing systems migrated from hardware-based, linear affairs built around tape decks and custom hardware and control surfaces, the modern video server is evolving quickly away from the ...

MARGAUX, France — The problem with system-on-chip (SoC) design is that software and hardware designers live in separate worlds, according to Hiroaki Takada, professor of information at Nagoya ...

From the earliest days of my career, when designing chips, I have always navigated the interface between hardware and software for semiconductor design in my roles. My initial chip designs included ...

The semiconductor industry is at an inflection point. The convergence of advanced multi-die architectures, AI-driven workloads, and rapidly evolving interface ...

Computer storage is becoming more complicated (see “The Storage Hierarchy Gets More Complex”). Users now can choose between hard disks (HDs), solid-state disks (SSDs), and solid-state hard disks ...
