AI Becoming More Prominent In Chip Design
By Ed Sperling - 27 Mar, 2023 - Comments: 0

Semiconductor Engineering sat down to talk about the role of AI in managing data and improving designs, and its growing role in pathfinding and preventing silent data corruption, with Michael Jackson, corporate vice president for R&D at Cadence; Joel Sumner, vice president of semiconductor and electronics engineering at National Instruments; Grace Yu, product and engineering manager at Meta... » read more

3D-IC: Operator Learning Framework For Ultra-Fast 3D Chip Thermal Prediction Under Multiple Chip Design Configurations
By Technical Paper Link - 24 Mar, 2023 - Comments: 0

A new technical paper titled "DeepOHeat: Operator Learning-based Ultra-fast Thermal Simulation in 3D-IC Design" was published (preprint) by researchers at UCSB and Cadence. Abstract "Thermal issue is a major concern in 3D integrated circuit (IC) design. Thermal optimization of 3D IC often requires massive expensive PDE simulations. Neural network-based thermal prediction models can perform ... » read more

True 3D Is Much Tougher Than 2.5D
By Brian Bailey - 23 Mar, 2023 - Comments: 0

Creating real 3D designs is proving to be much more complex and difficult than 2.5D, requiring significant innovation in both technology and tools. While there has been much discussion about 3D designs, there are multiple interpretations about what 3D entails. This is more than just semantics, however, because each packaging option requires different design approaches and technologies. And a... » read more

The Race Toward Mixed-Foundry Chiplets
By Ann Mutschler - 23 Mar, 2023 - Comments: 1

Creating chiplets with as much flexibility as possible has captured the imagination of the semiconductor ecosystem, but how heterogeneous integration of chiplets from different foundries will play out remains unclear. Many companies in the semiconductor ecosystem are still figuring out how they will fit into this heterogeneous chiplet world and what issues they will need to solve. While near... » read more

Like Wayne Gretzky, EDA Aims To Be Where The Puck Is Going, Not Where It Has Been
By Paul Scannell - 23 Mar, 2023 - Comments: 0

When I launched this blog series, I set out to share some of the more unique industry transitions I’ve witnessed over my 20+ year career in EDA. The B2B sales process has not been immune to change and transition. In fact, you could create a college curriculum with a daunting syllabus on the major transitions that have impacted the B2B sales process. I won’t drop that on you. The room wh... » read more

Managing EDA’s Rapid Growth Expectations
By Brian Bailey - 23 Mar, 2023 - Comments: 0

The EDA industry has been doing very well recently, but how long this run will continue is a matter of debate. EDA is an industry ripe for disruption due to rapid changes in chip architectures, end markets, and a long list of new technologies. In addition, recent geopolitical tensions are bringing a lot more attention to this small sector upon which the whole semiconductor industry rests. De... » read more

Blog Review: March 22
By Jesse Allen - 22 Mar, 2023 - Comments: 0

Siemens EDA's Dan Yu warns that the unavailability of verification data is slowing down the development of advanced machine learning for verification, with valuable data assets either siloed among different team members or projects or simply discarded due to the lack of analytic techniques to extract value from them. Synopsys' Richard Solomon and Dana Neustadter point to the need for hardwar... » read more

PCIe 6.0 Electrical Testing For High Data-Bandwidth Applications
By Cadence - 22 Mar, 2023 - Comments: 0

For nearly three decades, PCI Express (PCIe) technology has been the standard interconnect inside computers providing high bandwidth and low latency to meet customer demand. However, as the industry needs to evolve, so does the standard, keeping pace and driving future innovation. PCIe 6.0 is ubiquitous and offers power-efficient performance and high bandwidth for latency-sensitive applicati... » read more

Cooling The Data Center
By Karen Heyman - 15 Mar, 2023 - Comments: 0

Since British mathematician and entrepreneur Clive Humby coined the rallying cry, “Data is the new oil,” some 20 years ago, it has been an upbeat phrase at data science conferences. But in engineering circles, that increasingly includes a daily grind of hardware challenges, and chief among them is how to cool the places where all that data is processed and stored. An estimated 65 zettaby... » read more

Blog Review: March 15
By Jesse Allen - 15 Mar, 2023 - Comments: 0

Siemens EDA's Dan Yu finds that high-quality, well-connected mass data are crucial to the success of applying machine learning to verification and recommends teams pivot to a data-centric workflow. Synopsys' Shankar Krishnamoorthy suggests that deploying AI-driven chip design and verification can free teams from iterative work, letting them focus instead on product differentiation and PPA en... » read more
