Silent Data Errors Still Slipping Through The Cracks
- Silent data corruption errors in large server farms have become a major concern of cloud users, hyperscalers, processor manufacturers and the test community.
- Silent data errors (also called silent data corruption errors) are hardware errors that occur when an incorrect computational result from a processor core goes undetected by the system.
- Silent data errors are not a new type of failure or caused by a new type of defect, but they are more noticeable.
- Both Google and Meta sounded the alarm about SDC errors a few years ago, and the extent of the problem boils down to 1 in 1,000 machines in a data center fleet having a silent data error.
- These silent data errors also have become more prevalent due to ever-shrinking transistors fabricated near their physical limits, huge numbers of cores in data centers running identical code, and the limitations in testing hugely complex systems.
- Effective screening and testing can help to detect SDCs, both during fabrication and during field use.
- Stress testing is a powerful play here.
- Systems are likely to get more complex, so one key in dealing with SDEs may lie in developing more fault-tolerant systems with superior error correction mechanisms and built-in resiliency.
- ‘In the future, we’re going to be talking about reliability as a first-class design parameter in architectures,’ said Rambus’ Woo.
- And while it’s not clear that the industry will unravel all the root cause contributors to silent data errors, strategies to identify, check/verify, diagnose and test for SDEs are well underway.

Automotive Security Shifts To The System Level
- As the amount of semiconductor and software content continues to increase, so does the number of over-the-air updates and connections to edge-based servers and services, adding a variety of new vectors for attacks.
- Properly securing vehicles requires engineers to first identify all the possible connection points.
- In the strictest sense, there’s only one direct attack vector on a car, according to David Glasco, vice president for compute solutions group at Cadence — the WiFi through which all software updates are uploaded.
- The migration toward holistic security now includes roots of trust installed in ICs located throughout the car’s systems.
- “Security is just like safety,” he said. “Security is the ultimate. It is the top priority.
- The challenge for automakers is understanding how these systems of systems will behave both individually and together, and that may require security training as a pre-requisite for any facet of automotive design.
- SDVs are booming, but designing hardware that can run software updates a decade in the future is a huge challenge.
- The core of all security comes down to proper, strong cryptography.
- “Having multiple environments is very similar to having different privilege levels within the CPU structure, which allows you to assign a very low privilege, for example, to a third-party app,” he said.
- The international standard has been proven effective in automotive functional safety and has begun to spread to other markets.

Automotive Outlook 2025: Ecosystem Pivots Around SDV
- The automotive industry is shifting towards the software-defined vehicle architectures (SDV) that will change how automakers design, source, and use automotive chips.
- SDV provides various benefits to automakers because it can reduce manufacturing costs, upgrade the operational platform quickly, support scalability and flexibility, and deliver advanced user experience.
- SDV requires software-first development and a shift from the mechanical and hardware-centric point of view to software-centralized infrastructure that can build and integrate the hardware accordingly.
- This shift involves creating a zonal architecture with powerful central CPUs to consolidate electronic control units (ECUs) into fewer, more powerful platforms that centralize processing resources in vehicles.
- The zonal architecture enables the integration of advanced technologies such as AI and autonomous driving systems, and it simplifies the vehicle design process while reducing complexity, weight, and cost.
- Chip vendors are building multi-die licensable devices featuring multiple chips in a single package, allowing the creation of advanced products using advanced packages at 3nm and a range of chiplets from different vendors.
- SDV enhances AI use in the vehicle, delivering an advanced user experience that learns from driver behaviors and enhances automated driving systems with end-to-end self-supervised learning and advanced AI in the vehicle.
- Software-defined development speeds up the introduction of new technologies that OEMs and Tier Ones are embracing. However, OEMs and Tier Ones must adapt to software-first development with a focus on security since the distribution of software centrally intensifies security issues.
- SDV makes it possible to develop software independently within the cloud on servers and substantially reduces the development time and cost with a level of flexibility and scalability that traditional hardware development cannot match.
- Virtual platforms and virtual prototypes are accelerating the software and silicon development cycles, simultaneously designing the hardware and software, testing them for security, scalability, flocking everything together into a scalable E/E architecture for the whole car.
