This post is an excerpt from the keynote presentation at CadenceLIVE India, given by Nimish Modi, senior vice president and general manager of Strategy and New Ventures at Cadence. The semiconductor industry has grown significantly lately but follows a cyclical pattern marked by fluctuations. Currently, we are witnessing a macro-level correction aimed at resolving inventory imbalances. N... » read more

Distilling The Essence Of Four DAC Keynotes
By Brian Bailey - 28 Jul, 2022 - Comments: 0

Chip design and verification are facing a growing number of challenges. How they will be solved — particularly with the addition of machine learning — is a major question for the EDA industry, and it was a common theme among four keynote speakers at this month's Design Automation Conference. DAC has returned as a live event, and this year's keynotes involved the leaders of a systems comp... » read more

Computational Software: The Foundation Across Software Disciplines
By Frank Schirrmeister - 30 Jul, 2020 - Comments: 0

You may have seen the term "computational software" more often recently. What are some prominent examples? Why do we in the electronic design automation (EDA) industry have to deal with math in the first place? Wasn't chip design all about drawing polygons at one point? I’m glad you asked! Computational software supports and manages the complexity of fundamental industry trends—hyperscal... » read more

Computational Software
By Cadence - 03 Jun, 2020 - Comments: 0

To power the technologies and products of the future, end-application system companies are increasingly designing the full stack of their solution. Some are even designing their own semiconductors, and optimizing the end-to-end solution across chips, packages, printed circuit boards (PCBs), software, and the entire system to meet demanding market requirements. This movement is driving a converg... » read more

A New EDA Paradigm Emerges In Computational Software
By Paul McLellan - 07 May, 2020 - Comments: 0

Cadence has a new white paper out on Computational Software. I've written on these topics before, most recently in the posts: Computational Software System Analysis: Computational Software at Scale To set the scene, here is the abstract from the white paper: Electronics technology is evolving rapidly, becoming pervasive in our lives. There are more smartphones in use than there a... » read more

Math And Electronic Design Automation
By Frank Schirrmeister - 23 Apr, 2020 - Comments: 0

Even though our teenage children may not show it the proper appreciation (yet), math is often referred to as the "universal language." And it is, even in EDA. Whenever I’m asked what the heck I do in my day job, I often fall back on analogies—a lot of them refer to building houses. For the geekier ones among us, I have even invoked The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy's Slartibartfast to ex... » read more
