Ending an Ugly Chapter in Chip Design

Cars That Think

Discussions at chip design conferences rarely get heated. But a year ago at the International Symposium on Physical Design , things got out of hand. The crux of the clash was whether Google’s AI solution to one of chip design’s thornier problems was really better than humans or state-of-the-art algorithms. Wash, rinse, repeat.

USTMA, The Ray & University of Missouri partner to assess knowledge on environmental impact, benefits of rubber-modified asphalt

Green Car Congress

Rubber-modified asphalt has been found to be quieter and create better grip and less spray for drivers in wet weather, according to a study by the University of Arizona, and produce half the amount of tire and road wear particles as traditional pavement. Results from the study are expected to be reported in Spring of 2021.

Wuhan University team proposes structure-variable sliding mode control of IPMSM in EVs

Green Car Congress

Researchers at Wuhan University of Science and Technology in China have proposed a control method based on a speed loop structure-variable sliding mode controller (SMC) for interior permanent magnet synchronous motors in electric vehicles. The method combines maximum torque per ampere with a vector control strategy.
