From Tool Agents To Flow Agents
By Brian Bailey - 30 Apr, 2025 - Comments: 0

Experts At The Table: AI is starting to impact several parts of the EDA design and verification flows, but so far these improvements are isolated to single tool or small flows provided by a single company. What is required is a digital twin of the development process itself on which AI can operate. Semiconductor Engineering sat down with a panel of experts to discuss these issues and others, in... » read more

The Evolving Role Of AI In Verification
By Ann Mutschler - 26 Mar, 2025 - Comments: 0

Experts At The Table: The pressure on verification engineers to ensure the functional correctness of devices has increased exponentially as chips have gotten more complex and evolved into SoC, 3D-ICs, multi-die chiplets and beyond. Semiconductor Engineering sat down with a panel of experts, which included Josh Rensch, director of application engineering at Arteris; Matt Graham, senior group dir... » read more

Verification Experts Vs. Generalists
By Ann Mutschler - 05 Mar, 2025 - Comments: 0

Experts At The Table: As chips and systems become more complicated, more verification tasks get abstracted. So do we need more specialists who are experts in specific tasks, or do we need more generalists who know how to use the tools but don't necessarily have the depth of understanding? Or do we need some way to balance both? Semiconductor Engineering sat down with a panel of experts, includi... » read more

Design Customization Puts Heavy Burden On Verification
By Ann Mutschler - 30 Jan, 2025 - Comments: 0

Experts At The Table: The pressure on verification engineers to ensure a device will function correctly has increased exponentially as chips become more complex and heterogeneous. Semiconductor Engineering sat down with a panel of experts, including Josh Rensch, director of application engineering at Arteris; Matt Graham, senior group director for verification software product management at Cad... » read more

RISC-V Profiles Help Conformance
By Brian Bailey - 18 Dec, 2024 - Comments: 0

Experts At The Table: What's needed to be able to trust that a RISC-V implementation will work as expected across multiple designs using standard OSes. Semiconductor Engineering discussed the issue with John Min, vice president of customer service at Arteris; Zdeněk Přikryl, CTO of Codasip; Neil Hand, director of marketing at Siemens EDA (at the time of this discussion); Frank Schirrmeist... » read more

How AI Is Transforming System Design
By Adam Kovac - 26 Nov, 2024 - Comments: 0

Experts At The Table: ChatGPT and other LLMs have attracted most of the attention in recent years, but other forms of AI have long been incorporated into design workflows. The technology has become so common that many designers may not even realize it’s a part of the tools they use every day. But its adoption is spreading deeper into tools and methodologies. Semiconductor Engineering sat down... » read more

RISC-V’s Software Portability Challenge
By Brian Bailey - 13 Nov, 2024 - Comments: 0

Experts At The Table: RISC-V provides a platform for customization, but verifying those changes remains challenging. Semiconductor Engineering discussed the issue with John Min, vice president of customer service at Arteris; Zdeněk Přikryl, CTO of Codasip; Neil Hand, director of marketing at Siemens EDA (at the time of this discussion); Frank Schirrmeister, executive director for strategi... » read more

RISC-V Conformance
By Brian Bailey - 31 Oct, 2024 - Comments: 0

Experts At The Table: Despite growing excitement and participation in the development of the RISC-V ecosystem, significant holes remain in the development flow. One of the most concerning is conformance, which must exist before software portability becomes possible. Semiconductor Engineering discussed the issue with John Min, vice president of customer service at Arteris; Zdeněk Přikryl, CTO... » read more
