Last of three parts: The effects of disaggregation, restrictive design rules and economic considerations.

What goes wrong and what you need to know to get a head start on the next round of complexity.

Shrinking geometries force changes; new approaches rampant at CES

Power-aware designs becoming more necessary; companies begin integrating tools as area, power, performance tradeoffs become more complex.

3D is now possible, but ensuring its success will demand renewed focus on compute power and energy efficiency.

Exclusive research: Use of automated tools still limited, but that could change as low-power becomes more mainstream.

Last of three parts: The myriad effects of low power, the differences between OVM and VMM, and establishing good coverage models.

Power, software and logic take center stage; performance still important but not the main differentiator.

Power follows performance while embedded follows multicore in software development tools.

Analysis: Why corporations are following the energy-saving approaches of consumer electronics.

The programming is the same as before, but at least it won’t cost as much to watch.

New products emphasize power consumption and battery life; performance still important, but not always the competitive edge.

EnergyStar ratings on servers drives new standards for conserving power in memory; chips to hit market starting in Q1

Faster time to market, lower-power devices and playing catch-up after a long recession.

Making life better: Paper batteries, universal voltage plugs and battery chargers with a pull cord.

Test and yield together; changes in the IP market; beefing up the indirect channel.

Mid-life crises, heat stroke, and the mother of all invention. Just an average week in the engineering world.

Low-power everywhere at advanced nodes; earnings improve; vendors stack up new wins.

What’s new in the low-power engineering world; better benchmarks

Power trips: Intel goes to war, foundries focus on power.
