Ensuring the thermal integrity of your IC package/PC board design
Some basic tests will verify your PCB/IC thermal modeling and reality

How to inexpensively design an ASIC in 5 weeks
What many engineers may not know, hence a key motivator for this paper, is that a new generation of ASIC, (dubbed the NEW ASIC), is gaining momentum as an alternative to both standard cell ASIC and FPGA design.

Comparing AMBA AHB to AXI Bus using System Modeling
This article discusses the construction of an Advanced Microcontroller Bus Architecture (AMBA) Advanced High-performance Bus (AHB) Shared Bus and AMBA Advanced eXtensible Interface (AXI) point-to-point Bus.

Tuning C/C++ compilers for optimal parallel performance in multicore apps: Part 2
Max Domeika, author of "Software development for embedded multicore systems," details C and C++ compiler scalar optimization and performance features that will allow you to take full advantage of parallelism via multithreading or partitioning. Part 2: The Compiler Optimization Process.

Time Domain Modeling and Simulation of Intel QuickPath Interconnect Circuits (Part 2 of 3)
This article explores and explains key issues related to modeling and simulation in this interconnect scheme, but its lessons apply to other designs as well

Layering it on--a new approach to automating system tests
Here's a layered approach to testing that uses pluggable software components to assure scalability and portability.

Variations on a flexible array theme
Different dialects of C and C++ support different forms of flexible array members. Unfortunately, the more expressive forms are the less portable ones.

Robotics design help you could use
National Instruments offers intuitive design tools for everything from designing autonomous vehicles to teaching robotics design principals.
