Why SoC Designers Need Purpose-Built Semiconductor IP Catalog Tools
By Roberto Piacentini Filho - 25 Jul, 2024 - Comments: 0

Semiconductor intellectual property (IP) management, reuse, and change tracking are essential for efficiently creating chip designs based on proven building blocks, reducing your time-to-market, and maintaining good reputations throughout their lifetimes. Unfortunately, many SoC teams attempt to use existing tools like Git for these essential tasks, even though they are unsuitable and inconv... » read more

The Value Of Innovation
By Brian Bailey - 27 Jun, 2024 - Comments: 1

This week's Design Automation Conference is all about the new things that are going on in the industry, both challenges and opportunities. By this time this blog goes live, I will have moderated a panel about why EDA has not been open to disruption. While preparing for that, a number of thoughts emerged in my mind. First, we have to remember that EDA is a business whose role is to support th... » read more

Promises And Pitfalls Of SoC Restructuring
By Ed Sperling - 12 Jun, 2024 - Comments: 0

As chips become more complex and increasingly heterogeneous, it's becoming more difficult to keep track of different methodologies, tools, and blend data from different sources to create a chip. Tim Schneider, staff application engineer at Arteris, explains why IP-XACT has become so critical, why it took so long to gain a solid foothold in chip design, and how the new IP-XACT standard interface... » read more

AI Accelerated Migration Of Existing Designs To New Processors
By Rob van Blommestein - 30 May, 2024 - Comments: 0

In this fast-paced digital age where speed, performance, and time-to-market are king, chip designers are under pressure to deliver high-performance computing that doesn’t compromise power efficiency. The constant demand for instantaneous data processing and sharing is pushing the boundaries of innovation in chip design. With this context, we revisit and revamp the insights from the Synopsys U... » read more

Maximizing Efficiency And Productivity: The Benefits Of Shift Left Verification For IP Designers
By Terry Meeks - 29 Feb, 2024 - Comments: 0

Intellectual property (IP) designers play a crucial role by creating reusable components that form the building blocks of larger integrated circuit (IC) designs. These components, whether developed in-house or acquired from specialized IP design companies, are essential for providing core functionality such as memory and standard libraries. However, designing and verifying IP is a complex and d... » read more

Getting Optimal PPA For HPC & AI Applications With Foundation IP
By Andrew Appleby - 11 Jan, 2024 - Comments: 0

By Andrew Appleby, Xiaorui Hu, and Bhavana Chaurasia The demand for application-specific system-on-chips (SoCs) for compute applications is ever-increasing. Today, the diversity of requirements means there is a need for a rich set of compute solutions in a wide range of process technologies. The resulting products may have very different but demanding power, performance, and area (PPA) requi... » read more

EDA Revenue Up Again
By Ed Sperling - 17 Oct, 2023 - Comments: 0

The EDA industry reached $3.963 billion in revenue in Q2, boosted by a 17.6% increase in computer-aided engineering and a 17.2% increase in IP physical design and verification, according to a just-released ESD Alliance Electronic Market Data report. The overall growth was offset by an accounting change in the IP business, which resulted in a 11.6% decline to $1.255 billion, as well as some w... » read more

Importance Of Certifications In Automotive IP
By Pawini Mahajan - 10 Oct, 2023 - Comments: 0

The automotive industry is renowned for its unwavering commitment to enforcing strict standards for enabling safety, quality, reliability, and security. However, upholding stringent measures to ensure vehicle safety and reliability has led to the need for predictive maintenance i.e., using advanced monitoring and analytical techniques as a part of Silicon Lifecycle Management (SLM) to anticipat... » read more

Securing Automotive Ethernet With MACsec Silicon IP
By Rambus - 04 Oct, 2023 - Comments: 0

In today’s cars, the Ethernet standard is the go-to solution for connecting zonal gateways to the central compute units that handle ADAS functionality. However, in-vehicle networks are vulnerable to a number of security threats, including eavesdropping, denial-of-service attacks, man-in-the middle attacks, and unauthorized access. This white paper explores how MACsec provides an effective sol... » read more
