Update: CrowdStrike Pushed ‘Data Changes’ Without Testing
CrowdStrike tests software changes, but its ‘data changes’ go straight to production.
CrowdStrike’s Update Downfall: Who Dropped the Ball?
Why didn’t CrowdStrike’s clients ask for software updates in staggered rollouts?
Synaptics Plots Plan for AI PC ‘Edge’
Synaptics wants to “infuse AI” into everything it does: smart homes, smartphones, smart factories or AI PCs.
Chip Vendors Boost SDV Software. Is It Enough?
Leading automotive semiconductor suppliers say that their mission is to offer more software than hardware. But how far can they go?
How Does Graphcore Fit into SoftBank’s AI Play?
SoftBank-Graphcore: A reboot deal, a seed crystal, and a deniable “front” for ARM?
The SDV and Its Unintended Challenges
SDV development, the trending topic among automakers, is ironically exposing fundamental issues with organizations, vehicle architecture, education and society –with no accompanying easy fixes.
Can AI Pave the Way for Multi-die Systems?
How exactly will AI — demonstrably excellent at pattern recognition, but with fundamental limitations when it comes to accuracy and predictability — make the EDA industry more productive?
A Central-Compute SoC for SDVs? Really?
The idea of a central SoC that rules all of a car’s computing is not now — and maybe never — viable in mass-market vehicles.
Maelstrom of Change Hitting Auto Industry
What has triggered an avalanche of change among carmakers? Indie Semiconductor’s Chet Babla breaks it down.
How a Small MEMS Foundry Crashed the CHIPS Act
How did a little outfit with only twenty employees qualify for federal CHIPS and Science Act grants?
VW’s Software Crisis isn’t VW’s Alone
Volkswagen’s latest announcement of a joint venture with California startup Rivian once again exposes VW’s widely known software problems. But this also reflects every incumbent automaker’s software dilemma.
Can Silicon Alliance Survive What Broke Taiwan’s Silicon Shield?
Chipmakers want to protect the global collaboration that drove the industry’s growth, but geopolitics threaten their silicon alliance concept much as it has punched holes in Taiwan’s silicon shield.
How Many OSs Make an SDV Run?
Green Hills discusses the layers of software inside SDVs, and how they enforce “freedom from interference” between software.
Can Ceva Ignite Yet-To-Explode TinyML Market?
The IoT market is yet to see an “explosive growth” in TinyML. Is that due to inadequate hardware, ever-shifting software or not enough ML skills in the embedded community?
Industry Pivots from Self-Driving to Software-Defined
Technical challenges have put L3/L4 autonomous vehicles (AV) on the back burner. Automakers’ best hope in the meantime is SDVs — fundamental E/E architecture redesign — but the going is likely to be even tougher.
Sonatus Discusses Software Foundation for SDVs
We ask Sonatus CEO: “What’s the ‘proper’ software foundation for SDVs?”
First, Software-Defined Sensors, Then SDVs
The driving force behind software-defined sensors is the federal safety agency’s Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) mandate. Can carmakers offer nighttime Pedestrian AEB without hardware changes?
Microchip On-Board Charger Solution for EVs
The adoption of electric vehicles worldwide necessitates effective charging solutions. This white paper examines the fusion of Microchip’s dsPIC33 Digital Signal Controllers (DSC) with Silicon Carbide (SiC) technology, which offers a comprehensive system solution and systemic design approach to develop an on-board charger (OBC).
Nvidia Overshadows The Chip Industry’s Growth Malaise
The chip industry is struggling for growth, but its challenges are hidden by the surge in demand for GPUs, CPUs, and memory semiconductors
OEMs’ SDV Dilemma
