Debug Trick Uses CPU Cache as RAM

Embedded tool company Asset Intertech is giving away a free e-book that teaches a clever little debugging trick: Use your CPU’s on-chip cache like RAM so you can bring up a non-functional board. If your new hardware won’t even boot, it’s hard to figure out where the hardware/software problem(s) lie. With no working RAM you can’t even run diagnostic routines. But your processor’s on-chip cache is always there and always reliable. Give it a shot. The download link is at http://bit.ly/XzK0nI.

Larsen & Toubro Builds Data Centers with Effective Cooling Using Cadence Reality DC Design

Sponsored by Cadence Design Systems

Larsen & Toubro built the world’s largest FIFA stadium in Qatar, the world’s tallest statue, and one of the world’s most sophisticated cricket stadiums. Their latest business venture? Designing data centers. Since IT equipment in data centers generates a lot of heat, it’s important to have an efficient and effective cooling system. Learn why, Larsen & Toubro use Cadence Reality DC Design Software for simulation and analysis of the cooling system.
