Value stream management involves people in the organization to examine workflows and other processes to ensure they are deriving the maximum value from their efforts while eliminating waste — of ...

In most software interviews a decade ago, success hinged on how quickly a candidate could write code on a whiteboard. Today, ...

Recently, Brian Bailey organized a round table that resulted in a two-part article called Supporting CPUs Plus FPGAs. The experts discussed the evolving reality of systems design based on FPGAs and ...

Where are the system-level design tools that we need for systems on chips? For years the semiconductor industry has been marching noisily toward the world of SoCs, but now that we are here, we find ...

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 ...

Used to perform FMEA, Software FMEA/HAZOP, DFA, and cybersecurity threat analysis, the software has embedded knowledge about likely system level problems that helps detect design issues early, for ...
