Modern systems-on-a-chip (SoCs) continue to increase in complexity, adding more components and calculation power to accommodate new performance-hungry applications such as machine learning and autonomous driving.  With increased number of SoC components, such as CPUs, GPUs, accelerators and I/O devices, comes increased demand to correctly model interoperability of various components. Traditional simulation of complex systems requires accurate models of all components comprising the system and normally results in very long simulation times. A better way is to create a set of typical traffic profiles which describe behavior of system’s masters and slaves. Such profiles should be abstract to be applied to various protocols and interfaces and be portable to be applied throughout different SoC design and verification cycles.

To address the challenges outlined above, Arm has recently announced availability of the AMBA® Adaptive Traffic Profiles (AMBA ATP) specification which lays foundation of a new synthetic traffic framework. The AMBA ATP specification includes detailed information of various transaction types and timing characteristics of those transactions. The traffic profiles defined in the specification are abstract in nature and thus could be used to generate stimuli for various standard AMBA protocols and in various environments such as RTL-based simulation, FPGA prototyping and final SoC verification. The traffic profiles outlined in the specification include a set of parameters to define timing relationships between transactions as well as timing relationships within individual transactions. Even though the traffic profile represents the behavior of a single agent it could be applied either in a concurrent manner (e.g. write and read traffic profiles running in parallel) or in a sequential manner (e.g. when one traffic completes before the next one start). Moreover, when simulating a reasonably complex system, it is possible to coordinate traffic profiles generated by multiple components. While providing abstract definition of traffic profiles, the AMBA ATP specification focuses on the use of traffic profiles with an AMBA AXI interface, outlining signaling, timing relationships between different transaction phases and between different transactions. The same application principles could be used to map the abstract traffic profiles to other AMBA protocols such as AMBA5 CHI protocol.  

To facilitate adoption of the AMBA Adaptive Traffic Profiles, Cadence has recently announced availability of SystemVerilog UVM ATP Sequence Layer which automatically implements mapping of an abstract ATP traffic to AMBA protocol specific traffic, generated by Cadence AMBA Verification IP. The ATP layer is implemented as a SystemVerilog UVM virtual sequence with the sequence item including all ATP transaction parameters as defined in the specification.

Using the provided sequence infrastructure, users can write tests to define and coordinate traffic profiles for various components in the system. The ATP Layer automatically converts the abstract traffic profile into AMBA protocol-specific traffic, e.g., AMBA5 CHI protocol traffic.

 A sample code below, shows an example of a read profile translated by Cadence ACE Verification IP in ACE protocol traffic.

   `uvm_do_with(ace_atp_vseq,                                            

                       {ace_atp_vseq.agentId == agent_id;                                // ATP agent id

                        ace_atp_vseq.atpDirection == ATP_READ;                    // direction of bursts issued by virtual sequence

                        ace_atp_vseq.startAddress == start_address;                // start of address range being accessed

                        ace_atp_vseq.endAddress == end_address;                  // end of address range being accessed

                        ace_atp_vseq.atpDomain == atp_domain;                      // domain to use for transactions

                        ace_atp_vseq.addressPattern == ATP_SEQUENTIAL;  // address pattern

                        ace_atp_vseq.transactionSize == 64;                             // number of bytes in each burst

                        ace_atp_vseq.dataSize == 4;                                          // number of bytes in each transfer

                        ace_atp_vseq.rate == 150.0/(50.0);                                // requestedBandwidth / clkFrequency

                        ace_atp_vseq.start == ATP_EMPTY;                              // start condition of the ATP FIFO

                        ace_atp_vseq.full == 128;                                               // full level of the ATP FIFO

                        ace_atp_vseq.numOfTransactions == 500;                    // number of bursts issued by this sequence

                        ace_atp_vseq.ARTV == 2;                                              // sub-transaction delay

                        ace_atp_vseq.RBR == 3;                                                // sub-transaction delay

                       });

In addition to the ATP Layer for Cadence Simulation-Based AMBA Verification IP, Cadence supports the ATP functionality in Acceleration-Based AMBA Verification IP. For detailed information about ATP support in Cadence Simulation-Based and Acceleration-Based Verification IP, visit ip.cadence.com.

There are approximately 1 million transgender and gender-diverse adults in the United States. Despite increased awareness and acceptance, they frequently encounter medical settings that are not welcoming and/or health care providers who are not knowledgeable about their health needs. Use of correct terminology, following best practices for name and pronoun use, and knowledge of gender-affirming interventions can create office environments that are welcoming to transgender clients. Health disparities faced by transgender patients that impact access to care include higher rates of mental health issues, substance use disorders, violence, and poverty. Transgender women are at greater risk for HIV acquisition and are less likely to achieve viral suppression compared with cisgender (nontransgender) individuals. Medical providers can facilitate HIV prevention efforts by offering pre- and postexposure prophylaxis to transgender patients at risk for HIV infection. Improving health outcomes requires attention to cultural competency and an understanding of lived experiences and priorities of transgender people.

Evaluations of health care–based screening programs for social risks often report that a relatively small proportion of patients screening positive for social risk factors are interested in receiving assistance from their health care teams to address them. The relatively low number of patients who desire assistance is relevant to the growing number of initiatives in US health care settings designed to collect data on and address patients’ social risks. We highlight multiple studies that have found differences between positive risks screens and desire for assistance. We explore possible explanations for those differences—focusing on the fallibility of screening tools as well as patient preferences, priorities, and lived experiences—and the potential implications for health equity.

It is important to identify, assess, and address current barriers to implementation of post-approval changes that are intended to ensure continued (uninterrupted) operations and drive innovation and continual improvement in a maximally efficient, agile, and flexible pharmaceutical manufacturing sector. Leveraging the International Conference for Harmonisation Quality Guideline Q10 provides regulatory relief when it comes to addressing changes related to excipients, specifically excipient supplier's name and address changes, which will ensure a sustainable, reliable global supply and the availability of high quality product to patients through the entire commercial lifecycle of a product without extensive regulatory oversight.

The bioprocessing industry uses recombinant mammalian cell lines to generate therapeutic biologic drugs. To ensure consistent product quality of the therapeutic proteins, it is imperative to have a controlled production process. Regulatory agencies and the biotechnology industry consider cell line "clonal origin" an important aspect of maintaining process control. Demonstration of clonal origin of the cell substrate, or production cell line, has received considerable attention in the past few years, and the industry has improved methods and devised standards to increase the probability and/or assurance of clonal derivation. However, older production cell lines developed before the implementation of these methods, herein referred to as "legacy cell lines," may not meet current regulatory expectations for demonstration of clonal derivation. In this article, the members of the IQ Consortium Working Group on Clonality present our position that the demonstration of process consistency and product comparability of critical quality attributes throughout the development life cycle should be sufficient to approve a license application without additional genetic analysis to support clonal origin, even for legacy cell lines that may not meet current day clonal derivation standards. With this commentary, we discuss advantages and limitations of genetic testing methods to support clonal derivation of legacy cell lines and wish to promote a mutual understanding with the regulatory authorities regarding their optional use during early drug development, subsequent to Investigational New Drug (IND) application and before demonstration of product and process consistency at Biologics License Applications (BLA) submission.

We spoke with industry experts to identify what’s preventing developers from fully going green – and it all boils down to lack of finances.

I never thought The Matrix would have the impact it has had on fashion. But from long leather coats to so-called “Matrix-style” sunglasses, the costumes I designed in the 90s continue to have influence to this day.

Part of the reason they are still in the ether is because they were so iconic. The silhouettes, for instance, had to be instantly recognisable so that viewers could tell who each character was, even in the dark. All of the costumes are fairly immune to period, which is what makes them relatable, even now.
