Addressing Power Challenges In AI Hardware
By Solaiman Rahim - 04 Feb, 2021 - Comments: 0

Artificial intelligence (AI) accelerators are essential for tackling AI workloads like neural networks. These high-performance parallel computation machines provide the processing efficiency that such high data volumes demand. With AI playing increasingly larger roles in our lives—from consumer devices like smart speakers to industrial applications like automated factories—it’s paramount ... » read more

Automotive Functional Safety Compliance In EDA Tools And IP
By Swami Venkat - 01 Feb, 2021 - Comments: 1

By Swami Venkat and Meirav Nitzan A modern vehicle can boast as many as 100 million lines of code—that’s more than the Large Hadron Collider (50 million lines) and Facebook (62 million lines). On the hardware side, many of today’s cars have upwards of 100 electronic control units (ECUs) to run various functions. As automotive engineering ingenuity continues to drive further innovation ... » read more

The Impact Of 5G On Silicon Design
By Ron Lowman - 07 Jan, 2021 - Comments: 0

5G, the next-generation of mobile broadband, is driving tremendous increases in data throughput for mobile applications by introducing carrier aggregation, massive MIMO, advanced modulation, and high bandwidth channels in the mmWave spectrum. However, 5G and its governing body, 3GPP, has very high expectations to expand its capabilities well beyond the mobile market, and move into many new area... » read more

Automation And Fault Simulation Of Safety-Critical FPGA Designs
By Joe Mallett - 15 Dec, 2020 - Comments: 0

Functional safety is a major challenge for field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) and other semiconductor designs. Safety requirements go beyond traditional verification, which focuses on design bugs. Chips in safety-critical applications must be able to handle a variety of faults from sources such as temperature and power extremes, device aging, radiation, ionization and component failures. Ap... » read more

Effective Configuration Of Security Tools
By Taylor Amerding - 03 Dec, 2020 - Comments: 0

To do a job well, you need the right tools. But it’s just as important—perhaps even more so—to use those tools correctly. A hammer will make things worse in your construction project if you’re trying to use it as a screwdriver or a drill. The same is true in software development. The intricacies of coding and the fact that it’s done by humans means that throughout the software deve... » read more

Model Variation And Its Impact On Cell Characterization
By Umang Doshi - 05 Nov, 2020 - Comments: 0

EDA (Electronic Design Automation) cell characterization tools have been used extensively to generate models for timing, power and noise at a rapidly growing number of process corners. Today, model variation has become a critical component of cell characterization. Variation can impact circuit timing due to process, voltage, and temperature changes and can lead to timing violations, resulting i... » read more

Dependent Failure Analysis For Safety-Critical IP And SoCs
By Shivakumar Chonnad - 02 Nov, 2020 - Comments: 0

By Shivakumar Chonnad, Radu Iacob, and Vladimir Litovtchenko Due to the increased complexity in safety-critical system hardware, software, and mechatronics, the functional safety development process must address systematic and random hardware failures. Numerous safety-related activities are performed during safety-critical IP and SoC developments, as part of the safety lifecycle, from produc... » read more

How Cybersecurity Is Driving Business Forward
By Joe Jarzombek - 08 Oct, 2020 - Comments: 0

Cybersecurity is a topic that continues to grow in importance for both the general population and those who work in the tech industry. While news headlines about security breaches affecting various companies are now almost a daily occurrence, many still don’t understand the responsibility that every one of us has to keep our own personal and workplace networks secure. This October, Synopsys w... » read more

For AI Hardware, Power Optimization Starts With Software And Ends At Silicon
By Solaiman Rahim - 04 Sep, 2020 - Comments: 0

Artificial intelligence (AI) processing hardware has emerged as a critical piece of today’s tech innovation. AI hardware architecture is very symmetric with large arrays of up to thousands of processing elements (tiles), leading to billion+ gate designs and huge power consumption. For example, the Tesla auto-pilot software stack consumes 72W of power, while the neural network accelerator cons... » read more

Upgrade Your SoC Design With USB4 IP
By Morten Christiansen - 07 Aug, 2020 - Comments: 0

USB4 is a new standard of connectivity by the USB Implementers Forum (USB-IF). USB4 supports multiple high-speed interface protocols, including USB4, DisplayPort, PCI Express, and Thunderbolt 3 for efficient data transfer and simultaneous delivery of data, power, and high-resolution video through a single USB Type-C cable. USB4 offers up to 40Gbps, which is twice that of the preceding USB 3.2 G... » read more
