Week In Review: Design, Low Power
By Jesse Allen - 14 Oct, 2022 - Comments: 0

Cadence unveiled a new environment to automate and accelerate the complete design closure cycle from signoff optimization through routing, static timing analysis (STA), and extraction. The Certus Closure Solution allows concurrent, full-chip optimization through a massively parallel and distributed architecture and engine shared with Cadence’s Innovus Implementation System and the Tempus Timi... » read more

Designing A Better Clock Network
By Ann Mutschler - 13 Oct, 2022 - Comments: 1

Laying the proper clock network architecture foundation makes all the difference for the best performance, power, and timing of a chip, particularly in advanced node SoCs packed with billions of transistors. Each transistor, which acts like a standard cell, needs a clock. An efficient clock network should ensure the switching transistors save power. In today’s advanced nodes, when a design... » read more

Dealing With Heat In Near-Memory Compute Architectures
By Karen Heyman - 13 Oct, 2022 - Comments: 0

The explosion in data forcing chipmakers to get much more granular about where logic and memory are placed on a die, how data is partitioned and prioritized to utilize those resources, and what the thermal impact will be if they are moved closer together on a die or in a package. For more than a decade, the industry has faced a basic problem — moving data can be more resource-intensive tha... » read more

Beyond Autonomous Cars
By Marie C. Baca - 12 Oct, 2022 - Comments: 0

As the automotive industry takes a more measured approach to self-driving cars and long-haul trucks for safety and security reasons, there is a renewed focus on other types of vehicles utilizing autonomous technology. The list is long and growing. It now includes autonomous trains, helicopters, tractors, ships, submarines, drones, delivery robots, motorcycles, scooters, and bikes, all of whi... » read more

Best Practice: Scale-Resolving Simulations In Ansys CFD
By Ansys - 12 Oct, 2022 - Comments: 0

While today’s CFD simulations are mainly based on Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) turbulence models, it is becoming increasingly clear that certain classes of flows are better covered by models in which all or a part of the turbulence spectrum is resolved in at least a portion of the numerical domain. Such methods are termed Scale-Resolving Simulation (SRS) models in this paper. This r... » read more

Synopsys' Richard Solomon, Madhumita Sanyal, and Gary Ruggles take a look at the possibilities that CXL 3.0 can bring to a variety of data-driven applications that demand increasingly higher levels of memory capacity, with higher bandwidth, more security, and lower latency. Siemens EDA's Rich Edelman provides some tips for debugging UVM testbenches, such as how to determine what line changed... » read more

Bump Co-Planarity And Inconsistencies Cause Yield, Reliability Issues
By Karen Heyman - 11 Oct, 2022 - Comments: 1

Bumps are a key component in many advanced packages, but at nanoscale levels making sure all those bumps have a consistent height is an increasing challenge. Without co-planarity, surfaces may not properly adhere. That can reduce yield if the problem is not identified in packaging, or it can cause reliability problems in the field. Identifying those issues requires a variety of process steps... » read more
