Ensure Equivalence Of Synthesizable C++/SystemC Designs Against Generated/Handwritten RTL


High-level synthesis (HLS) is a design flow in which design intent is described at a higher level of abstraction than RTL, such as in SystemC/C++ or MATLAB. HLS tools are expected to synthesize this code to RTL, which can be input to the traditional RTL downstream flow (RTL/GDS). Formally checking generated RTL can be difficult to analyze, as errors cannot be correlated to the HLS source code. ... » read more

Is End-To-End Security Possible?


Looming financial penalties for data breaches are forcing chipmakers to confront end-to-end security, an increasingly complex and daunting problem because no single company controls all the pieces anymore. This is especially apparent in multi-die assemblies, in use today in data centers, and under consideration in automotive and other applications. Multiple chiplets can push performance well... » read more
