HPC Appliance Boosts Simulation Performance
By Ansys - 09 Dec, 2020 - Comments: 0

High-performance computing (HPC) resources can provide a substantial boost to simulation, but an HPC cluster can be complex and difficult to manage. By deploying a managed HPC cluster for ARA, the client was able to eliminate internal maintenance and support overhead, while improving productivity and reliability for their Ansys workloads.

Mentor's Harry Foster finds growing complexity in FPGA design by looking at the number of embedded microprocessors, asynchronous clock domains, and safety/security features in the 2020 Wilson Research Group Functional Verification Study. Cadence's Paul McLellan points to the interim SRC/SIA Decadal Plan for Semiconductors and five big shifts it identifies in information and communication tec... » read more

Elasticity Without Compromise
By Matt Commens - 25 Nov, 2020 - Comments: 1

At the dawn of the twenty-first century, the available RAM on a physical machine dictated, and ultimately limited, the size of designs that Ansys HFSS could simulate. This prompted engineers to buy incredibly expensive pieces of hardware — well into the six figures — to solve their most challenging problems. By necessity, engineers learned to “divide and conquer” their largest, most ... » read more

Brute-Force Analysis Not Keeping Up With IC Complexity
By Brian Bailey - 24 Nov, 2020 - Comments: 0

Much of the current design and verification flow was built on brute force analysis, a simple and direct approach. But that approach rarely scales, and as designs become larger and the number of interdependencies increases, ensuring the design always operates within spec is becoming a monumental task. Unless design teams want to keep adding increasing amounts of margin, they have to locate th... » read more

Semiconductor Engineering sat down to discuss security on chips with Vic Kulkarni, vice president and chief strategist at Ansys; Jason Oberg, CTO and co-founder of Tortuga Logic; Pamela Norton, CEO and founder of Borsetta; Ron Perez, fellow and technical lead for security architecture at Intel; and Tim Whitfield, vice president of strategy at Arm. What follows are excerpts of that conversation,... » read more

The Next Big Leap: Energy Optimization
By Brian Bailey - 16 Nov, 2020 - Comments: 1

The relationship between power and energy is technically simple, but its implication on the EDA flow is enormous. There are no tools or flows today that allow you to analyze, implement, and optimize a design for energy consumption, and getting to that point will require a paradigm shift within the semiconductor industry. The industry talks a lot about power, and power may have become a more ... » read more
