SOC Design & IP Management—A Must For Functional Verification
By Cliosoft - 05 Jun, 2019 - Comments: 0

As a part of the verification flow, verification teams perform different types of simulations based on the nature of the design. The simulations include digital logic functional simulations, mixed-signal functional simulations, power-aware simulations, formal verification runs and gate-level simulations. For a signoff, all planned tests must pass in all four types of simulations. In addition t... » read more

How To Meet Power Performance And Cost for Autonomous Vehicle Systems Using Speedcore eFPGAs
By Achronix - 05 Jun, 2019 - Comments: 0

In the advanced, fully autonomous, self-driving vehicles of the future, the existence of dozens and even hundreds of distributed CPUs and numerous other processing elements is assured. Peripheral sensor-fusion and other processing tasks can be served by ASICs, SoCs, or traditional FPGAs. But the introduction of embedded FPGA blocks such as Achronix's Speedcore eFPGA IP provides numerous system-... » read more

Blog Review: June 5
By Jesse Allen - 05 Jun, 2019 - Comments: 0

Mentor's Neil Johnson argues that coverage closure shouldn't have to be mad scramble in the home stretch of development if designers change their early development mindset. In a video, Cadence's Amol Borkar explains Simultaneous Localization and Mapping, or SLAM, from the creation of a map of an unknown environment and understanding the orientation of a camera in this space. Synopsys' Tay... » read more

DAC 2019: Day 1
By Brian Bailey - 04 Jun, 2019 - Comments: 2

The last time that DAC was in Las Vegas was 2001. Much has changed since then. The first day kicked off with the usual ceremonies and then two short keynotes. A change from previous years is that keynotes are now on the show floor. This is presumably to ensure that once the keynotes are over, everyone sees the vendor booths. During the commencement session, it was also announced that all cof... » read more
