Meeting The Performance Demands Of The Next-Gen Client PC Market
By Carlos Weissenberg - 12 Jun, 2025 - Comments: 0

The client PC market is undergoing a transformative shift. As AI becomes a cornerstone of modern computing, the architecture of client systems—particularly notebooks and desktops—is being reimagined to support the immense data processing needs of these workloads. From real-time inferencing to generative applications, AI is redefining what performance means in a personal computer. With th... » read more

Introducing GICv5: Scalable And Secure Interrupt Management For Arm
By Christoffer Dall - 12 Jun, 2025 - Comments: 0

As Arm-based infrastructure continues to scale across markets, demands on system components increase. This can mean more interrupts, or signals from hardware/software to a processor to pause a task and handle another. Arm’s Generic Interrupt Controller Architecture (GIC) helps manage the communication between devices and processors efficiently. It makes sure the right processor handles the r... » read more

Simplify Simulation With Reduced-Order Modeling
By Jennifer Procario - 12 Jun, 2025 - Comments: 0

One of the biggest challenges in engineering and design is striking a balance between accuracy and speed. Development teams strive for precision but must often accelerate their simulation and computational workflows to meet production demands. Although physics-based, high-fidelity simulations are highly accurate, they are computationally expensive in terms of time and resources due to their com... » read more

RISC-V’s Increasing Influence
By Brian Bailey - 12 Jun, 2025 - Comments: 2

The industry is increasingly talking about benefits brought by the RISC-V architecture, but is it even the right starting point? While it may not be perfect, it may provide the flexibility necessary to move forward gradually. Computer architectures and software have followed in the footsteps of processors developed 80 years ago. They aimed to solve sequential, scalar arithmetic problems usin... » read more

Multi-Die Assemblies Complicate Parasitic Extraction
By Ann Mutschler - 12 Jun, 2025 - Comments: 0

The shift from planar designs to multi-die assemblies with complex interconnects is transforming what had become almost an afterthought in the design process into a first-order challenge. Parasitics include things like inductance, capacitance, and resistance, which have become more problematic at advanced nodes due to increasing logic density, thinner interconnects and insulators, and a spik... » read more

The Best DRAMs For Artificial Intelligence
By Bryon Moyer - 12 Jun, 2025 - Comments: 0

Artificial intelligence (AI) involves intense computing and tons of data. The computing may be performed by CPUs, GPUs, or dedicated accelerators, and while the data travels through DRAM on its way to the processor, the best DRAM type for this purpose depends on the type of system that is performing the training or inference. The memory challenge facing engineering teams today is how to keep... » read more

Verification Software And Methodology Insights
By Robbie O'Sullivan - 12 Jun, 2025 - Comments: 0

Earlier this month, I had the opportunity to attend CadenceLIVE Silicon Valley 2025. Among the many engaging sessions, the Verification Software track highlighted how leading companies are advancing verification methodologies to meet the demands of increasingly complex designs. The track featured seven presentations from industry leaders, each offering a unique perspective on how SVG’s verif... » read more

Agentic AI In Chip Design
By Ann Mutschler - 11 Jun, 2025 - Comments: 1

Large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT are just the starting point for generating content with AI. The next phase will be about harnessing LLMs with agents, providing automated feedback and improvements in performance and accuracy. Mehir Arora, backend engineer at ChipAgents, talks about the impact this can have on EDA and chip design, allowing smaller teams to compete with larger teams, and... » read more

Measurements and Simulation-Based Characterization Of eFuses
By Fraunhofer IIS/EAS - 11 Jun, 2025 - Comments: 0

In conventional safety systems, the off state can be assumed to be safe. With ADAS, this is no longer automatically the case. This makes it necessary to adopt new approaches to fuse protection, which will subsequently spread to other industries. Traditionally, the vehicle electrical system was protected by sacrificial fuses. These reliably disconnect the power supply in the event of overcurr... » read more

Introducing a Digital Engineering Methodology To Aid All Engineers
By Ansys - 11 Jun, 2025 - Comments: 0

A systems engineer developing a novel system-on-a-chip (SoC) design. A CFD engineer studying the airflow over the wing of a new electric airplane design. A safety engineer reviewing the design of a new pacemaker to confirm that it is compliant with existing regulations and requirements. What do all these people have in common? One connecting thread is the ever-present need to efficiently col... » read more
