It seems Cadence and Applied Material have produced a test chip with current fab technologies with 45degree traces. Non-orthoginal interconnects will allow chips to be smaller and faster. Cool!
Women execs... The basic point of the article is: Job, Family, Life choose two. You can't have it all. One of the missing things is this: This isn't just about women. In the tech industry you can't have all three. Younger engineers on the rise generally have a job and a life. Most of the older engineers/managers I know have families and jobs. But to be successful in the tech industry I don't believe anyone can have all three.
Time to dispel clockless logic design myths
There were a few clockless design articles in this weeks EE Times. This one was the most redimentry. Clockless designs are and interesting idea. Or more interesting clockless designs allow you to bridge two clock domains more easily. This is most important in something like a northbridge. In a northbridge you have the front side bus clock, the memory clock, and the IO bus(ses) clock(s). By using multiple domains and clockless interconnects between the domains you are no longer tied to certain clocks. This is huge. The Server Works GC family of chipsets are all tied to one clock in the northbridge. This means the CPU is quad clocked 100Mhz, the memory is ddr 200, and the IO busses are some even multiple or devisor of 100Mhz. With this new technique you could have a 800Mhz PSB, 333DDR2 memory bus, and any spead IO bus. That rocks!
How about if life==mistress and family==genetically related people who you don't see five days of the week? I don't see many women living at home on weekends only while dad takes care of the kids. And if she tries to do that, she will take no end of shit from everyone she knows for being a bad mother, which also doesn't happen so much to dads.
Posted by: metamanda at June 11, 2003 3:46 PMBut my point is having a family doesn't mean being a good family person. My contention is that to be a true member of a family you can have a job or a life but not both and have a real family.
I guess my point is supporting children doesn't a family make. If you don't put in the face time and get to know your family, you don't have one.
