ScotRail launches smart mobile ticketing
ScotRail has announced the launch of a mobile ticketing pilot allowing customers to buy, store and use tickets directly from their smartphone. Using near-field communication (NFC), customers will be able to tap through ticket gates using their phone.
Why ScotRail passengers may no longer have to wait in line for a train ticket
SCOTRAIL is introducing a new online ticketing system, allowing passengers to download tickets on to their smartphones. The system will be built into ScotRail’s existing app, with popular single and return tickets the first to be made available in a pilot project.
ScotRail rolling out ticket purchases on mobile phone app
ScotRail customers will be able to buy and store train tickets directly on their mobile phones. The rail operator’s existing app is being upgraded to allow travellers to download tickets onto their smartphone.
Customers will be able to skip queues at ticket vending machines before “tapping” through gates using Android’s NFC feature.
Silicon chips are reaching their limit. Here’s the future
We live in a world powered by computer circuits. Modern life depends on semiconductor chips and transistors on silicon-based integrated circuits, which switch electronic signals on and off. Most use the abundant and cheap element silicon because it can be used to both prevent and allow the flow of electricity; it both insulates and semiconducts.
NetSpeed and Northwest Logic Partner to Boost Performance in Hyperscale and Automotive SoCs
San Jose, Calif., May 8, 2018—NetSpeed Systems, Inc. and Northwest Logic today announced a partnership to deliver high throughput memory subsystem solutions for customers designing SoCs for hyperscale and automotive applications. The combination of NetSpeed’s interconnect IP and Northwest Logic’s HBM2 and GDDR6 memory controllers provides a platform that enables end-to-end QoS (Quality of Service), resiliency and high performance.
When designing a high-performance SoC, memory is almost always the critical bottleneck. It is a challenging problem because the individual IPs on the chip interact in complex ways and have differing performance requirements. Furthermore, QoS is a critical requirement for today’s advanced SoCs, especially those that drive real-time applications. Standard design approaches focus on each IP making local decisions, which is not necessarily best for overall system performance.
To get the best system level performance from advanced architectures, such as heterogeneous system architectures, the interconnect and memory controllers must work hand-in-hand. NetSpeed and Northwest Logic provide a common platform for communicating information about QoS and resiliency. The platform extends NetSpeed’s dynamic-priority elevation approach to the memory controller so that system-level traffic-flow priorities are handled in an end-to-end solution.
“Northwest Logic’s high-performance, highly configurable HBM2 controller is the market leader,” said Brian Daellenbach, President of Northwest Logic. “Through the NetSpeed partnership, we are able to provide a complete, high-performance memory controller + interconnect IP platform for mutual customers in the hyperscale and automotive market segments.”
“NetSpeed’s market leadership in the hyperscale and automotive segments is strengthened through our partnership with Northwest Logic,” said Anush Mohandass, VP of marketing and business development at NetSpeed. “Our integration with Northwest Logic provides customers end-to-end QoS and end-to-end resiliency that is needed for next-gen applications.”
