Using CAA And DFM Scoring To Improve Manufacturing Success
By Mentor, a Siemens Business - 26 Sep, 2018 - Comments: 0

Critical area analysis and design for manufacturing scoring both offer designers actionable information they can use to improve their designs to prevent low-yield issues in the foundry. At the same time, they provide the foundry with information they can use for process improvement. Learn how fabless designers, foundries, and integrated device manufacturers can all benefit from addressing manuf... » read more

Tineola: Taking A Bite Out Of Enterprise Blockchain
By Synopsys - 26 Sep, 2018 - Comments: 0

Enterprise blockchain adoption reached a fever pitch in 2018, but the security community has been late to the game of securing these platforms against attacks. We wanted to bridge the gap between the widespread use of enterprise blockchain platforms and the limited knowledge we have about their security by exploring the leading enterprise platform, Hyperledger Fabric, from the perspective of a ... » read more

Accelerate SoC Simulation Time of Newer Generation FPGAs
By Aldec - 26 Sep, 2018 - Comments: 0

Comprehensive verification that can be provided by HDL simulators is good, but not ideal. What is necessary is a faster, safer, and more thorough verification environment that combines the robustness of an HDL simulator with the speed of FPGA prototyping boards. The goal is to put together the power of these two verification methodologies into one platform. Read more. » read more

Analog Reliability Analysis for Mission-Critical Applications
By Cadence - 26 Sep, 2018 - Comments: 0

Rapidly increasing electrical content in automobiles is driving the need for revolution in analog integrated circuit (IC) design methodology. Compared to designing for consumer electronics, designing for mission-critical applications—industrial, medical, space, and automotive—requires a different approach to reliability analysis. We will explore how reliability analysis needs to change for ... » read more
