Using Keysight Design Data Management SOS In The Cloud
By Keysight - 13 Dec, 2023 - Comments: 0

Integrated circuits (ICs) are becoming increasingly complex and resource intensive. This is challenging companies to design chips more efficiently and reduce the overall impact of peak processing loads. Companies typically use large server farms and high-performance storage systems to design and validate chips quickly and efficiently. However, this approach is very resource intensive. For ex... » read more

Achieving High-Performance, Low-Power Design Optimization With The Solido Library IP Solution
By Siemens EDA - 13 Dec, 2023 - Comments: 0

Achieving overall power, performance, and area (PPA) targets is a key goal for today’s advanced IC design projects. To accomplish this, standard cell and memory libraries must be optimized for PPA. In this white paper, we describe how the Siemens Solido IP Library Solution helps engineering teams design and verify library IP to optimize PPA tradeoffs, maximize yield, and validate for easy int... » read more

Neuromorphic nanowires Researchers from UCLA and University of Sydney built an experimental computing system physically modeled after the biological brain. The device is composed of a tangled-up network of wires containing silver and selenium that were allowed to self-organize into a network of entangled nanowires on top of an array of 16 electrodes. The nanowire network physically reconfigure... » read more

Solid-state thermal transistor for heat management Researchers from University of California Los Angeles created a stable and fully solid-state thermal transistor that uses an electric field to control a semiconductor device’s heat movement. It is compatible with integrated circuits in semiconductor manufacturing processes. The team’s design incorporates the field effect on charge dynamics... » read more

Is Your Voltage Drop Flow Obsolete?
By Marc Swinnen - 13 Nov, 2023 - Comments: 0

Voltage drop at advanced nodes is a deadly serious problem that has become unmanageable with the methodologies used by most chip designers today. This article will cover the reasons why power integrity has risen to a top-of-mind concern and why it has become almost impossible for today’s EDA tools to measure and fix it. We will then look at some radical methodology rethinking that is needed t... » read more

Flipping Processor Design On Its Head
By Ann Mutschler - 09 Nov, 2023 - Comments: 2

AI is changing processor design in fundamental ways, combining customized processing elements for specific AI workloads with more traditional processors for other tasks. But the tradeoffs are increasingly confusing, complex, and challenging to manage. For example, workloads can change faster than the time it takes to churn out customized designs. In addition, the AI-specific processes may ex... » read more
