Processor vendors are starting to emphasize microarchitectural improvements and data movement over process node scaling, setting the stage for much bigger performance gains in devices that narrowly ...

I was recently writing about AMD's new Zen architecture (now Ryzen), and Intel's Kaby Lake chips are coming out soon. I throw around a lot of technical jargon that can come off sounding like insane ...

Leading AI systems designs are migrating away from building the fastest AI processor possible, adopting a more balanced approach that involves highly specialized, heterogeneous compute elements, ...

Tensilica has delivered a range of processor architectures like the Xtensa LX (see Power Play For The SoC Developers) as well as DSP and the ConnX comm processor (see Dataplane Processing Unit More ...

In this week’s Sponsored Post, Suresh Aswani, Senior Manager, Solutions Marketing, at Hewlett Packard Enterprise, shares how to overcome the learning curve of new processor architectures. The ...

Interconnect mechanisms are application-specific and represent a significant part of a design's value. Being able to capture system-level processor interactions is key to validating your system. You ...

The Android operating system is built to run on three different types of processor architecture: Arm, Intel x86, and MIPS. The former is today’s ubiquitous architecture after Intel abandoned its ...
