  Tesla: The Ultimate Low-Power Design

  When your battery pack alone costs $30,000 and you get 200 miles per charge, you’ve got to be looking for ways to save power. The Tesla roadster is crammed with parts from many Silicon Valley companies, all designed to draw as little power as possible. But there’s still much more work to be done.

  Artificial Intelligence: This Time It’s For Real

  AI used to be the stuff of science fiction, but cheap processing power and storage has made it a reality. To find out what’s being developed, System-Level Design (www.chipdesignmag.com/sld) tracked down Rachel Goshorn, assistant professor of System Engineering at the Graduate School of Engineering and Applied Science in the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, Calif. Check out what she has to say.

  What Goes Wrong

  The best way to figure out where the problems are with products is to check with customer service. They hear everything. So System-Level Design sat down with Tom Flodeen, VP of customer service at Mentor Graphics to see where customers are asking questions. Yeah, we know there’s a little marketing in this, but it’s worth wading through to listen to what’s going on behind the scenes.
