Blog Review: June 23

Synopsys' Manuel Mota shows how splitting SoCs into smaller dies for advanced packaging and using die-to-die interfaces to enable high bandwidth, low latency, and low power connectivity can benefit hyperscale data centers. Siemens EDA's Chris Spear explains the relationship between classes and objects in SystemVerilog with a handy visualization and notes the difference between SystemVerilog variables and class variables. Cadence's Paul McLellan listens in as Waylon Grange of Stage 2 Security demonstrates hacking the embedded software in a home's solar power controller and how it points to areas where embedded security still needs improvement. In a blog for Arm, Alp Acar of Boston University explains the concept of federated learning, a privacy-preserving paradigm to train machine learning models in a decentralized fashion, leaving a user's data on the device. In a video, Infineon's Thomas Aichinger dives into how to make the gate oxide of SiC MOSFETs more reliable in the field through voltage screening and marathon stress tests.
