Tabula expects to have 22nm FPGAs next year and is trying to recruit IP developers to an 'app store' for data-center hardware.

Cadence Design Systems has developed semiconductor IP for the automotive industry's OPEN Alliance to make ethernet the core networking backbone of future motor vehicles.

Chip-design teams are running into problems with verification because they are focused too much on tools and not enough on processes, Mentor Graphics chief scientist Harry Foster explained today at the first of a series of Verification Futures seminars hosted by TVS in Europe this week.

In a deal that pits the company head to head with ARM, Imagination Technologies has decided to buy the business of MIPS Technologies including the CPU architectures and cores. The price tag is $60m cash.

Xmos is going back to its roots as a microprocessor architecture designed specifically for low-latency, real-time applications.

Altera has launched the first first SDK to take OpenCL software and target it to FPGAs rather than general-purpose processors or graphics processors.

A group of companies based in the UK have formed a group that hopes to develop and promote standards for machine-to-machine (M2M) communications that employ gaps in radio spectrum rather than relying on dedicated frequency bands.

ARM has named the first pair of processor cores that employ its 64bit architecture and revealed that an architectural clean-up is likely to result in the smaller of the pair requiring less silicon real estate than the existing 32bit Cortex-A9.

Mentor Graphics has added to its HyperLynx suite a tool that uses design-rule check (DRC) techniques rather than simulation to look for potential signal-integrity problems.
