Data Centers on Wheels: The Need for Key Foundational Technologies for Software Defined Vehicles

Software defined vehicles take center stage in this week’s Fish Fry podcast! John Heinlein (Sonatus) and I chat about the historical development of automotive software, the role that over the air updates play in SDVs, how Sonatus is encouraging innovation in this space and where John thinks software defined vehicles are headed in the future. Keeping with our automotive theme this … Read More → "Data Centers on Wheels: The Need for Key Foundational Technologies for Software Defined Vehicles"

NIST Issues New Quantum Crypto Standards for Cyberspace

NIST, the US National Institute of Standards and Technology, has finally published a trio of new standards for post-quantum cryptography (PQC) in an attempt to get ahead of the coming cryptography crisis that’s forecast for the time when quantum computers get powerful enough to crack current RSA (Rivest-Shamir-Adleman) public-key encryption standards.  Although the RSA algorithm was published in 1977 and predates the Internet by a decade or … Read More → "NIST Issues New Quantum Crypto Standards for Cyberspace"

There’s More Than One Way to Become an Engineer (Part 2)

As we discussed in the initial installment of this 2-part extravaganza, some people pursue a predictable path on their way to engineer-hood (where “-hood” comes from the Middle English “-hode,” which itself comes from the Old English “-hād,” meaning “state of being”). Others, like your humble narrator, end up taking a more circuitous route, which may involve Lady Luck finagling the dice in their favor (I … Read More → "There’s More Than One Way to Become an Engineer (Part 2)"

Introduction to Bare Metal AVR Programming — Microchip and Mouser Electronics  Bare metal AVR programming is a great way to write code that is compact, efficient, and easy to maintain. In this episode of Chalk Talk, Ross Satchell from Microchip and Amelia Dalton dig into the details of bare metal AVR programming. They take a closer look at the steps involved in this kind of … Read More → "Introduction to Bare Metal AVR Programming — Microchip and Mouser Electronics"
Automated Benchmark Tuning — Synopsys   Benchmarking is a great way to measure the performance of computing resources, but benchmark tuning can be a very complicated problem to solve. In this episode of Chalk Talk, Nozar Nozarian from Synopsys and Amelia Dalton investigate Synopsys’ Optimizer Studio that combines an evolution search algorithm with a powerful user interface that can … Read More → "Automated Benchmark Tuning — Synopsys"
Tackling Automotive Software Cost and Complexity — Mouser Electronics and NXP  With the sheer amount of automotive software cost and complexity today, we need a way to maximize software reuse across our process platforms. In this episode of Chalk Talk, Amelia Dalton and Daniel Balser from NXP take a closer look at the software ecosystem for NXP’s S32K3 MCU. They investigate how real-time drivers, a … Read More → "Tackling Automotive Software Cost and Complexity — Mouser Electronics and NXP"
10X Faster Analog Simulation with PrimeSim Continuum – Synopsys  IC design has come a very long way in a short amount of time. Today, our SoC designs frequently include integrated analog, 100+ Gigabit data rates and 3D stacked DRAM integrated into our SoCs on interposers. In order to keep our heads above water in all of this IC complexity, we need a unified … Read More → "10X Faster Analog Simulation with PrimeSim Continuum – Synopsys"
Solutions for Heterogeneous Multicore — Siemens   Multicore processing is more popular than ever before but how do we take advantage of this new kind of processing? In this episode of Chalk Talk, Jeff Hancock from Siemens and Amelia Dalton investigate the challenges inherent in multicore processing, the benefits of hypervisors and multicore frameworks, and what you need to consider … Read More → "Solutions for Heterogeneous Multicore — Siemens"
Software and Automotive Safety — Siemens  In the realm of automotive designs, safety must reign above all else. But the question remains: how can we innovate within the constraints of today’s safety standards?
