General InterestChairman's ColumnIt
is finally fall and hopefully cool weather is coming soon. All chapters
should be in the final stages of 2013 officer elections. Don't forget
to report them to the Section Secretary, Zhuo Li (zhuoli@ieee.org).
I would like to congratulate the Austin Computer Chapter for the great
job they did on their September monthly meeting, they had over 300
attendees for a very popular speaker, Bjarne Stroustrup of Texas
A&M University and thank you to National Instruments for hosting
the meeting.
October has several great events happening. The IEEE PE/PEL/IEA/IA Joint Societies Chapter has a workshop on the National Electric Code Motors and Controllers on October 5th. Sign up at https://meetings.vtools.ieee.org/meeting_view/list_meeting/12235. The CAS/SSC Joint Chapter and the newly formed CEDA Chapter present a workshop called "Data Prallelism for Multi-Core Chips and GPU" on October 27th. This workshop will provide a valuable overview of parallel software and hardware implementation for new comers, and also serve as a tutorial for experienced professionals. Sign up at https://meetings.vtools.ieee.org/meeting_view/list_meeting/13461. There are many chapter meetings scheduled for October and one I would like to mention is a meeting of the Consultants Network, Circuits and Systems, Solid-State Circuits Society, Council on Electronic Design Automation, Women in Engineering, and Life Members Chapters on October 24th called "Legendary Engineering Success Stories". Gary Daniels will tell the story of the Motorola 68HC11 Microcontroller, highlighting the contributions of technology, system & circuit design, marketing, manufacturing and management. He will compare this story to that of another legendary engineering success, the B17. Sign up at https://meetings.vtools.ieee.org/meeting_view/list_meeting/14421. While I have your attention, I would also like to mention two non-IEEE events of interest to IEEE members. The first is the "Software Painpoint Job Fair" on Friday, October 5th If you are a Java, .NET, Quality Assurance, or UI designer, pre-register at https://door64.com/painpoint/SWfall2012 to visit with local hiring managers about their opportunities. The second is the "Semiconductor Painpoint Job Fair" on October 19th. This event is specifically targeting IC Design (Logic, Circuit, and Mixed Signal), Integration, Verification and Validation and Firmware / embedded software development. Chip design candidates should pre-register to visit with hiring managers at https://door64.com/painpoint/SEMIfall2012. Kenny Rice Back to TOP Membership Development

Topic/Title |
Oliver Heaviside and the Technological Roots of “Maxwell’s Equations” |
|---|---|
|
Speaker |
Prof. Bruce Hunt |
|
Abstract |
This
year marks the 150th anniversary of the James Clerk Maxwell’s
publication of his theory of the electromagnetic field, in his 1861–62
paper “On Physical Lines of Force.” But one will not find there the
familiar set of four vector equations now known as “Maxwell’s
Equations.” Those equations have instead been drawn from papers the
English electrical engineer Oliver Heaviside published in the
mid-1880s. Heaviside’s version of Maxwell’s theory had deep roots in
the British telegraph industry of the late 19th century, and
examination of how Heaviside came to take up and transform Maxwell’s
work will shed light on important questions concerning the relationship
between science and technology. |

Abstract |
With end of an era of classical technology scaling and
exponential frequency increases, high end microprocessor designs and
design automation methodologies are at an inflection point. With power
and current demands reaching breaking points, and significant
challenges in application software stack, we are also reaching
diminishing returns from simply adding more cores. In design
methodologies for high end microprocessors, although chip physical
design efficiency has seen tremendous improvements, strong indications
are emerging for maturing of those gains as well. In order to continue
the cost-performance scaling in systems in light of these maturing
trends, we must innovate up the design stack, moving focus from
technology and physical design implementation to new IP and
methodologies at Logic, architecture, and at the boundary of hardware
and software, solving key bottlenecks through application acceleration.
This new era of innovation, which moves the focus up the design stack
presents new challenges and opportunities to the design and design
automation communities. This talk will motivate these trends and focus
on challenges for high performance microprocessor design and design
automation in the years to come. |

Topic/title |
Differential Signaling Is the Opiate of the Masses |
|---|---|
|
Speaker |
Sam Connor, IBM |
|
Abstract |
A
large concern with the proliferation of differential signaling is the
false sense of security that comes along with its usage. Differential
signals are hailed for their immunity to noise coupling and for their
propagation characteristics. Differential receivers have great common
mode rejection, and with equalization, receivers can pull meaningful
signals out of a closed eye diagram. But with all of these benefits,
the often forgotten drawback is that differential signals on PCBs are
not truly differential and they do not perfectly cancel. The various
asymmetries in the routing of the differential pair and the impedance
discontinuities of vias and connectors and the imbalance and skew of
the drivers all create a common mode signal on the differential pair
that can cause serious EMC problems when coupled to other nets or
radiated from cables and connectors. This presentation covers each of
these factors in depth and offers real-world examples to illustrate the
concepts. |

Abstract |
Businesses
need to keep cyber security at the top of their mind as they look to
cash in on opportunities created by the growth of mobile and cloud
computing. It’s all about managing the risks, the proliferation of
mobile devices connecting to business networks and the increased
migration of critical data processing and storage to the cloud have
expanded the number of potential targets for cyber-attacks, while the
Apps on the individual devices may come from any source opening ample
opportunities for compromising name, passwords and other details of
