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 ...

The boundaries between IP reuse, interconnect design, and hardware-software integration are no longer independent.

Microcontrollers based on the ARM Cortex-M3 processor are becoming very popular in the industry. The recent introduction of the Cortex-M0 processor allows for more power- and cost-effective devices.

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 ...

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 ...

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

A hardware interface specifies the plugs, sockets, cables and electrical signals that pass through each line between the CPU and a peripheral device or communications network. It also stipulates which ...

Take personal media players. From a technological standpoint, products like the iPod could have been developed a decade ago, but they would have been the size of a suitcase. Understandably, more ...

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 ...
