Arm, Intel and Nvidia have jointly authored a paper describing an 8-bit floating point (FP8) specification and its two variants E5M2 and E4M3 to provide a common interchangeable format that works for ...

The iterations a specification goes through in a given project. Are chip design and verification specs, and hardware and software specs, separate entities? Automation of the specification process.

This paper presents a new hardware/software partitioning methodology for SoCs. Target architecture is composed of a RISC host and one or more configurable microprocessors. First, a system is ...

Engineering teams must coordinate across hardware and software domains as system-on-chip (SoC) designs scale in complexity. Designers must verify that register definitions remain accurate and ...

No one gives much thought to the heating, ventilation and air conditioning registers in the house –– typically, two in each room, one for supply, the other for return. That is, until the lever in each ...

As service providers build out their broadband packet networks to offer enhanced triple-play services, telecom OEMs (TEMs) are working overtime to provide the equipment needed to deploy those services ...

As we approach the pervasive-computing era in which users will have round-the-clock access to information and services from any location, embedded-system designers are under growing pressure to boost ...

Restricted budgets and shortened schedules have forced design teams to eschew proprietary designs and adopt open standards for low- to medium-quantity, high-performance embedded projects, such as ...
