Safety, The Non-Negotiable Requirement Driving Autonomous Vehicle SoC Designs
By NetSpeed Systems - 25 Jul, 2018 - Comments: 0

The automotive industry has set itself the goal of achieving autonomous driving and is accruing the building blocks to make that happen. The challenge is in architecting the next generation automotive SoCs which must deliver exploding performance while meeting requirements for real-time latency, end-to-end QoS, FuSa (ISO 26262) and security. These SoCs need to include heterogeneous architecture... » read more

Tech Talk: Kenneth Chang, senior staff product marketing manager at Synopsys, talks about what can go wrong with power at advanced nodes and why in-design power rail analysis works best early in the flow in helping to reduce overall margin. https://youtu.be/0oiWQPS1-Xk » read more

7/5nm Timing Closure Intensifies
By Ann Mutschler - 25 Jan, 2018 - Comments: 1

Timing closure issues are increasing in magnitude at 7/5nm, and ones that were often considered minor in the past no longer can be ignored. Timing closure is an essential part of any chip design. The process ensures that all combinatorial paths through a design meet the necessary timing so that it can run reliably at a specified clock rate. Timing closure hasn't changed significantly over th... » read more

Methodology For Analyzing And Quantifying Design Style Changes And Complexity Using Topological Patterns
By Cadence - 10 Jan, 2018 - Comments: 0

In order to maximize yield, IC design companies spend a lot of effort to analyze what types of design styles are needed and used in their layouts (standard cells, macros, routing layers, and so forth). This paper introduces a novel methodology for full chip high performance topological pattern analysis and the applications of this methodology towards analyzing design styles in order to quanti... » read more

Power/Performance Bits: May 24
By Jesse Allen - 24 May, 2016 - Comments: 0

Reducing MRAM chip area Researchers from Tohoku University developed a technology to stack magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJ) directly on the via without causing deterioration to its electric/magnetic characteristics. The team focused on reducing the memory cell area of spin-transfer torque magnetic random access memory (STT-MRAM) in order to lower manufacturing costs, making them more compe... » read more
