Accelerate AI SoC Designs with NoC Tiling
By Arteris - 30 Oct, 2024 - Comments: 0

Network-on-chip (NoC) tiling technology is revolutionizing AI and machine learning-enabled semiconductor designs. This emerging approach uses proven, robust network-on-chipIP to facilitate scaling, condense design time, speed testing and reduce design risk. It allowsSoC architects to create modular, scalable designs by replicating soft tiles across the chip. Each soft tile represents a self-con... » read more

Synopsys' Frank Schirrmeister argues that hardware-assisted verification techniques like emulation and prototyping are essential to help engineers improve design behavior to manage complexity and ensure systems function seamlessly in real-world applications. Siemens’ Stephen V. Chavez finds that ultra high-density interconnect (UHDI) has changed the design and production of PCBs to enable ... » read more

Early Architecture Performance and Power Analysis of Multi-Die Designs
By Synopsys - 30 Oct, 2024 - Comments: 0

Despite the clear advantages of multi-die designs, there are numerous new challenges that stand in the way of multi-die design realization. This white paper focuses on those challenges that can be addressed by early architecture exploration of multi-die designs, including: -System pathfinding -Memory utilization and coherency -Power/thermal management Find out how to overcome such chall... » read more

Four Real-World Applications for Electromagnetic Simulation
By Keysight - 30 Oct, 2024 - Comments: 0

With the complexity of integrated circuit (IC) components increasing, electromagnetic (EM) circuit simulation is now critical for accurate and efficient design. The EM effects on a circuit can drastically alter voltage levels and damage semiconductor devices. With EM simulation, designers can account for EM effects on their circuit to avoid costly problems before they happen. EM simulation e... » read more

Cadence’s Sanjeet Kumar introduces the message bus interface in the PHY Interface for the PCIe, SATA, USB, DisplayPort, and USB4 Architectures (PIPE) specification, which provides a way to initiate and participate in non-latency-sensitive PIPE operations using a small number of wires. Siemens’ Dennis Brophy argues that the recently published Portable Test and Stimulus Standard (PSS) 3.0 ... » read more

Reactionary Or Anticipatory?
By Brian Bailey - 21 Oct, 2024 - Comments: 0

The EDA industry is located at an interesting place, where anticipation and reaction come together. Too much of either one is wasteful, but too little leaves the industry having to deal with unwanted problems. We see this happening in several areas today, and the balance is changing for several reasons. We normally expect universities to be 100% anticipatory. There is no point in them worki... » read more

Startup Funding: Q3 2024
By Jesse Allen - 16 Oct, 2024 - Comments: 0

Numerous new companies burst on the scene in the third quarter of 2024, including startups with plans for customizable RISC-V-based IP for applications from microcontrollers to data centers, high-speed data center interconnects, compute-in-memory LLM inference chips, and surveillance camera SoCs. Although it did not report funding, AheadComputing also launched last quarter to develop RISC-V cor... » read more

UMI: Extending Chiplet Interconnect Standards To Deal With The Memory Wall
By Ramin Farjadrad - 14 Oct, 2024 - Comments: 0

With the Open Compute Project (OCP) Summit upon us, it’s an appropriate time to talk about chiplet interconnect (in fact the 2024 OCP Summit has a whole day dedicated to the multi-die topic, on October 17). Of particular interest is the Bunch of Wires (BoW) interconnect specification that continues to evolve. At OCP there will be an update and working group looking at version 2.1 of BoW.

Siemens’ Stephen Chavez looks at the key benefits and challenges to achieving a successful ECAD-MCAD collaboration. Cadence’s Nayan Gaywala shares the AXI4 locking mechanism when implementing an Xtensa LX-based multi-core system on a Xilinx FPGA platform, using a dual-core design mapped to a KC705 platform as an example. Synopsys’ Vincent van der Leest digs into SRAM PUFs and their ... » read more

EDA And IP Revenue Grow, But Markets Are Shifting
By Ed Sperling - 07 Oct, 2024 - Comments: 0

EDA and IP revenue grew 18.2% worldwide to $4.69 billion in Q2, year-over-year, with all product categories and regions reporting increases, but a drill down into the numbers shows some new pockets of growth and weakness The Asia/Pacific region exhibited strong growth once again, but the dynamics in that market have changed significantly. China is no longer the primary revenue generator for ... » read more
