Design of anything, from an ERP application to an embedded software system to a hardware device to a mechanical object, is done at some level of abstraction. Simply, a level of abstraction is the ...

About 15 years ago, the assumption in the EDA industry was that system design would be inevitable. The transition from gate-level design to a new entry point at the register transfer level (RTL) ...

Recently there have been a lot of discussions again about the next level of design abstraction for chip design. Are we there yet? Will we ever get there? Is it SystemC? UML/SysML perhaps? I am taking ...

Machine code: the ones and zeroes are an abstract representation of the electromagnetic signals flowing through the wires and computer chips. Assembler: hides away the machine code, allowing a ...

Let’s just assume that after adding communications costs and management overhead, the cost to move offshore to a low-cost country is half of the cost of having engineers in a high-cost location. This ...

The expansion of digital video technology from a few dedicated applications, such as camcorders and security systems, to a wider range of consumer products strains traditional video development ...

What are the five core principles of hardware/software co-design? How do these principles help build a geographically diverse engineering organization that can successfully develop complex solutions ...

I was doing research when I found a suitable definition of levels of abstraction. Honestly, it’s a topic most of us know intuitively without ever fully defining it, like rain. Rain is water droplets ...

Horizon Quantum Computing Pte. Ltd. (“Horizon Quantum”), a pioneer of software infrastructure for quantum applications, today ...
