Synopsys' Mike Gianfagna looks at how the data center paradigm has shifted in the last ten years with an exponential increase in the amount of data demanding new approaches to storage that rely on distributed networks. Cadence's Frank Schirrmeister explains multidisciplinary design analysis and optimization, or MDAO, and how it is being combined with machine learning models to enhance classi... » read more

Startup Funding: June 2022
By Jesse Allen - 06 Jul, 2022 - Comments: 0

Big money went to manufacturing in June, with a massive round for a Chinese analog foundry’s expansion to 55 – 40nm nodes. A fab management software startup also drew sizeable investment, as did a supplier of semiconductor-grade silicon components. Investors didn’t forget chip design, with three EDA companies receiving new funding, one of which drew over $100 million. Plus, numerous te... » read more

Automotive, mobility The Lancet’s Road Safety 2022 report estimates that 1.35 million people die every year from road traffic injuries, with more than 50 million injured or disabled. Low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs) have the most deaths, accounting for 93% of the world's fatalities on roads. The four main risk factors for road injuries are speeding, impaired driving (drunk driv... » read more

Risks Rise As Robotic Surgery Goes Mainstream
By John Koon - 30 Jun, 2022 - Comments: 1

As robotic-assisted surgery moves into the mainstream, so do concerns about security breaches, latency, and system performance. In the operating room, every second is critical, and technology failures or delays can be life-threatening. Robotic-assisted surgery (RAS) has around for a couple decades, but it is becoming more prevalent and significantly more complex. The technology often include... » read more

Blog Review: June 29
By Jesse Allen - 29 Jun, 2022 - Comments: 0

Synopsys' Emilie Viasnoff argues that optical sensors are critical building blocks of autonomous vehicles and that sensor digital twins have the potential to dramatically reduce the amount of field testing needed by using driving simulators for tasks ranging from design and testing to integration and autonomous driving system co-optimization. Siemens' Sumit Vishwakarma considers the evolutio... » read more

Semiconductor Engineering sat down to discuss why new approaches are required for heterogeneous designs, with Bari Biswas, senior vice president for the Silicon Realization Group at Synopsys; John Lee, general manager and vice president of the Ansys Semiconductor business unit; Michael Jackson, corporate vice president for R&D at Cadence; Prashant Varshney, head of product for Microsoft Azu... » read more

Who Does Processor Validation?
By Brian Bailey - 27 Jun, 2022 - Comments: 1

Defining what a processor is, and what it is supposed to do, is not always as easy as it sounds. In fact, companies are struggling with the implications of hundreds of heterogenous processing elements crammed into a single chip or package. Companies have extensive verification methodologies, but not for validation. Verification is a process of ensuring that an implementation matches a specif... » read more

Why Hardware-Dependent Software Is So Critical
By Brian Bailey - 23 Jun, 2022 - Comments: 0

Hardware and software are two sides of the same coin, but they often live in different worlds. In the past, hardware and software rarely were designed together, and many companies and products failed because the total solution was unable to deliver. The big question is whether the industry has learned anything since then. At the very least, there is widespread recognition that hardware-depen... » read more

Blog Review: June 22
By Jesse Allen - 22 Jun, 2022 - Comments: 0

Arm's Andrew Pickard checks out a project at Sorbonne Université in Paris that is using the Cortex-M3 processor source code to model what is happening in the hardware at the microarchitectural level and find ways to prevent side-channel leakage of sensitive cryptographic information. Cadence's Paul McLellan digs into the development of high-NA EUV lithography and some of the challenges ahea... » read more
