Coming back from the Design Automation Conference (DAC), my head is swimming with acronyms. In fact, most people refer to the conference by its acronym instead of its full name. I believe as long as ...

Reliability and safety are two inter-relatable terms that define the overall effectiveness of any working system ― be it an electrical system, mechanical system, or a combination of both. The concept ...

Circuit aging is emerging as a mandatory design concern across a swath of end markets, particularly in markets where advanced-node chips are expected to last for more than a few years. Some chipmakers ...

Mathematical optimization plays an important role in engineering design, leading to greatly improved performance. Deterministic optimization however, can lead to undesired choices because it neglects ...

This article explores how WWII fighter designs reveal core reliability principles still essential in today’s industrial and ...

How can systems be designed to guard against unexpected downtime? How does system reliability impact product development? In what ways can artificial intelligence and machine learning improve system ...

Consumer Reports is out with a survey that finds that electric vehicle owners had roughly 80% more problems than owners of conventional vehicles. Consumer Reports is out with a new survey that ...

Assessing the reliability of a device requires adding more physical factors into the analysis, many of which are interconnected in complex ways. Chip aging is a growing problem at advanced nodes, but ...

Widely accepted wisdom has it that electric vehicles are easier to maintain than those with internal combustion powertrains. It seems intuitive—EVs have many fewer moving parts than cars that have to ...
