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 ...

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 bulk of the time in this class examining a virtual machine monitor (VMM) in depth, at the source code level. The course explains the hardware/software interface of a modern x86 computer in detail.

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 ...

Solution Integration: Integration of acquired silicon-proven Magillem 5 and Semifore CSRCompiler products into a next-generation ‘single source of truth’ software product for register management and ...

The hardware/software interface (HSI) is where system-on-chip (SoC) software defines the connections between the software and the underlying hardware. Maintaining a precise, synchronized HSI across ...

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 ...

Fig 1. Mobile phones saw incredible growth and evolution from 2000 to 2011, with functionality that rivals many personal computers. Fig 2. With the right interface, you can turn your mobile phone into ...
